MYFANWY ........ BRYN TIERFEL & MALE VOICE CHOIR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2f382uMJvA


English Translation (All 3 verses- sometimes verse 2 is left out!)

MYFANWY
,
Why is it anger, O
That fills your eyes so dark and clear?
Your gentle cheeks, O sweet Myfanwy,
Why blush they not when I draw near?
Where is the smile that once most tender
Kindled my love so fond, so true?
Where is the sound of your sweet words,
That drew my heart to follow you?

What have I done, O my Myfanwy,
To earn your frown? What is my blame?
Was it just play, my sweet Myfanwy,
To set your poet's love aflame?
You truly once to me were promised,
Is it too much to keep your part?
I wish no more your hand, Myfanwy,
If I no longer have your heart.

Myfanwy, may you spend your lifetime
Beneath the midday sunshine's glow,
And on your cheeks O may the roses
Dance for a hundred years or so.
Forget now all the words of promise
You made to one who loved you well,
Give me your hand, my sweet Myfanwy,
But one last time, to say "farewell".

just popped up to Taffs Well to get my hair cut - the traffic on the A470 heading into Cardiff is bumper to bumper!!!!!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch ? :-S :-S :-S



I learned to say it, or rather sing it, to the tune of "Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea"! :-D

This was because Dafydd Iwan's Mother (my Welsh teacher remember!) had us singing it for an eisteddfod one St. David's day!

And I had to make the banner with it all on! :-| :-| :-D

Here is another way to learn how to say it!

AR LAN Y MOR (mae rhosys cochion)
BY THE SEA (red roses)
...........................The beautiful voice of ELIN FFLUR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrWnmLDhNM


English Version:

Beside the sea red roses growing
Beside the sea white lilies showing
Beside the sea their beauty telling
My true love sleeps within her dwelling

Beside the sea the stones lie scattered
Where tender words in love were uttered
While all around there grew the lily
And sweetest branches of rosemary

Beside the sea blue pebbles lying
Beside the sea gold flowers glowing
Beside the sea are all things fairest
Beside the sea is found my dearest

Full the sea of sand and billows
Full the egg of whites and yellows
Full the woods of leaf and flower
Full my heart of love for ever.

Fair the sun at new day’s dawning
Fair the rainbow’s colours shining
Fair the summer, fair as heaven
Fairer yet the face of Elin

Great DET!
