'Rwyf wedi blino ar y byd

(Chwnt ymddattod)
'Rwyf wedi blino ar y byd,
  Drygionus, erchyll yw,
Yn poeni f'enaid tlawd o hyd,
  Heb orphwys tra bwy' byw;
Mae arnaf chwnt ymadaw, Iôr,
  Ac esgyn attat Ti,
I uno gyd â'r nefol gôr,
  Yn anthem Calfari.
David Griffiths (Clwydfardd) 1800-94

[Mesur: 8787D]

(Desire for release)
I have grown weary of the world,
  Evil, horrible it is,
Paining my poor soul always,
  Without rest while ever I live;
I have a desire to depart, Lord,
  And ascend to thee,
To join with the heavenly choir,
  In the anthem of Calvary.
tr. 2024 Richard B Gillion
