Fe gawsom ni ysbeidiau heulog
I must say that we had some sunny intervals
(Ysbeidiau heulog)
(Sunny intervals) (X2)

Ond ar y cyfan roedd hi'n dra cymlog
But on the whole it was rather cloudy
Ga i hyd yn oed awgrymu un-donog
Monotone not fine and dandy
Mewn cartre llaith a dim gwres calonog
A damp proof home with no central heating

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Fe deimlon ni esgusion yn tasgu
We really felt our shoes were a-squeezing
(Esgidiau'n gwasgu)
(Our shoes were a-squeezing)
Fe deimlo'n ni esgidiau yn gwasgu
And at the time excuses were flying
(Esgusion, tasgu)
(Excuses were a-flying)

Ond ar y cyfan roedd y camau yn weigion
But on the whole our steps were empty
Y swigod coch yn llosgi fel gwreichion
The red blisters were burning a-plenty
Um cam ymlaen am ddwy aneffeithlon
One step forward for every two ineffectual

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Heulog oedd ein cariad ni
Sunny was our love
Heulog tan ddaeth glaw yn llif
Sunny 'til the skies opened up

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Quote (1) (Gruff on mwng.co.uk):
"Ysbeidiau Heulog is a complete contrast. That's our concession to ELO. Jeff Lynne was very concerned about the weather, and he made a lot of money out of it. It's sort of throwaway pop, I don't suppose it is pop. Pop is more digital these days I suppose. Old-time pop music. You've got to imagine the saxophonist from 1972 Roxy Music in a spangly red jumpsuit. Ysbeidiau Heulog is a song about looking back at a bad time, which had the odd good moment. It's got a load of pop harmonies and is vocal heavy and is a tribute to numerous late 60s pop bands, West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Os Mutantes, I could go on, I won't bother!"
Quote (2) (Guto):
"This was on the Mwng album. It was going to come out on Creation but then we had to put it out ourselves!"
Quote (3) (Gruff):
"It is called Sunny Intervals in English and it is about a relationship but from the narrative of a weather man. So it is mostly cloud and rain and some frost with some sunny intervals!"
