“Os daw fy nghariad i yma heno i guro’r gwydr glas,
Rhowch ateb gweddus iddo, n’atebwch mono’n gas,
Nad ydyw’r ferch ddim gartre' na’i h’wyllys da’n y tŷ,
Llanc ifanc o’r plwy arall,
Llanc ifanc o’r plwy arall sydd wedi mynd â hi”
“Da chwithau, lân ferch ifanc, rhowch ran o’ch cwmni clyd
I lanc sy' dan y ffenest, heb feddu lle’n y byd,
Mae’r llanw wedi llenwi, a’m llong ar frig y don,
Ni ddeuaf byth i’ch blino,
Ni ddeuaf byth i’ch blino ‘run noswaith ‘rhawg, ond hon”
Atebai’r ferch yn gryno nad oedd hi’n lojio neb,
“Mae’r ffordd yn ddigon llydan a’r llwybrau’n ddigon teg,
A chwithau, lencyn gwisgi, ewch efo glan y dŵr,
Mae digon o’r mân gychod,
Mae digon o’r mân gychod, cewch bàs efo’r rhain yn siŵr
Fy nghalon sydd cyn drymed â’r march sy’n dringo’r rhiw,
Wrth geisio bod yn llawen, ni fedrwn yn fy myw,
Mae’r esgid yn fy ngwasgu mewn lle nas gwyddoch chi,
A llawer gofid meddwl,
A llawer gofid meddwl, sy’n torri 'nghalon i
Pe meddwn edyn eryr, mi fyddwn lawer gwell
I hedeg at fy nghariad sydd yn y gwledydd pell,
Dros diroedd maith a moroedd, gobeithio’i fod o’n iach
Rwy’n caru’r tir lle cerddodd,
Rwy'n caru'r tir lle cerddodd o wraidd fy nghalon fach”

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
