The tune was written by Joseph Parry born in Merthyr Tydfil as a tribute to his childhood sweetheart Myfanwy Llewellyn,a Merthyr girl whose father was blinded in The Cyfarthfa Works.
Extraordinary voice on this girl. Marvelous! One teeny thing: this is a love song from a man to a woman, so it's best sung by a man, or by men. Other than that teeny neg, this is truly a lovely job. Diolch yn fawr, fach.
Not really a love song. He is lamenting the fact that she is cold towards him. Beautiful melody. But it really should be sung by a man; you are right.
Hi there, I have heard this song many times over the past 35 yrs,it was this young ladies rendition on the previous day, was the first time it brought tears to my eyes !!!
what can you say ,only BEAUTIFULL voice and song

Is there a possibility to get this song COMPLETE as a MP3 sung by her? By the way: who is she anyway?

Lovely song! Does anyone know the words to this? And what it means in ENglish, so I don't have to look it up :P

why is it anger o myfanwy
That fills your eyes so dark and clear?
your gentle cheeks, o sweet Myfanwy,
Why blush they not when i am near,
where is the smile when once so 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 poets love aflame
you truly were to me once 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 sunshines 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"
