lyrics

Gadawodd ei gartref mewn anfri
Gan foddi sŵn wylo ei dad,
Ac aeth yn bell, bell mewn oferedd,
O'r diwedd gadawodd ei wlad,
Dod adref mae'r bechgyn afradlon
Fu'n crwydro mor ffyddlon a ffôl,
Ond eto, er disgwyl a disgwyl,
Mae William, mae William ar ôl

Daeth llong un diwrnod i'r porthladd
A bechgyn o'r fro ar y bwrdd,
Hen ffrindiau, perthnasau ddaeth yno
Yn llawen mewn cariad i'w cwrdd,
A llawer mam dirion gofleidia
Ei bachgen yn llawn i'w chôl,
Ond eto, er disgwyl a disgwyl,
Mae William, mae William ar ôl

Os gwelwch chi William yn rhywle
Dywedwch hyn wrtho'n ddi-nam,
Fod bechgyn o’r fro un diwrnod
I gyd yn cyd-hebrwng ei fam,
Ei dad yn yr angladd a wylai
Yn fwyfwy galarus ei gôl,
Wrth ddisgwyl a disgwyl a meddwl
Fod William, fod William ar ôl

Mi ganaf, mi ganaf am wynfyd,
Hen wlad yr addewid a rhoi
Lle na fydd dim gofid, dim galar,
Dim rhyfel, dim ffarwel, dim poen,
I fyny, i fyny mae'r nefoedd,
Hen gartref annwylyd y tad
Lle na fydd dim blwch yn y teulu,
Na William ar ôl yn y wlad.
