Gwel ef â'i wisg yn goch

Gwel ef â'i wisg yn goch,
  A'i waed yn llyn,
Â'r gwragedd gyda ef
  Tua'r bryn.

Trwm ydyw pren y groes,
  Ac yntau'n wan,
Daw un i'w gymorth ef
  Yn y man.

Fe frysia y torfeydd,
  A'r ffordd yn faith,
A Simon, dan y baich,
  Gâr y gwaith.

Pwy sydd yn teithio'n flin
  Gan ddwyn y groes?
Pwy yw'r carcharor llesg,
  Dan ei loes?

See him with his clothing red,
  With his blood as a lake;
With the women with him
  Towards the hill.

Heavy is the wood of the cross,
  While he is weak,
One will come to help him
  Shortly.

The crown hurries,
  And the road is long,
And Simon, under the burden,
  A companion in the work.

Who is travelling wearily
  While carrying the cross?
Who is the feeble prisoner,
  Under his anguish?

See Him in raiment rent,
  With His blood dyed:
Women walk sorrowing,
  By His side.

Heavy that cross to Him,
  Weary the weight:
One who will help Him stands
  At the gate.

Multitudes hurrying
  Pass on the road:
Simon is sharing with
  Him the load.

Who is this traveling
  With the curst tree -
This weary prisoner -
  Who is He?
