Geiriau:
"There is a town in North Ontario",
meddai Neil Young yn ei gan.
"Sweet home Alabama",
meddai Skynyrd 'rownd y tan.
"Rwy'n mynd 'nol i Flaenau Ffestiniog ie..."
meddai'r hen Debot Piws.
"Take me home, country road",
meddai Denver - ond be 'di'r iws?

CYTGAN
'Does unman yn debyg i Adra',
medda' nhw wrtha fi.
Does unman yn debyg i Adra, na.
Ond mae Adra'n debyg iawn i chdi.

Dwni ddim lle dwi'n mynd,
Dwni ddim lle dwi 'di bod.
Sgyn i'm syniad lle dwi rwan hyn
A Duw a wyr lle dwi fod.

Dwi di cysgu dan ser yn y Sahara,
Ac aros ar fy nhraed drwy'r nos yn Prague.
Dwi 'di dawnsio ar fynydd hefo ffrindiau newydd,
A deffro ar awyren wag.

CYTGAN
'Does unman yn debyg i Adra',
medda' nhw wrtha fi.
Does unman yn debyg i Adra, na.
Ond mae Adra'n debyg iawn i chdi.

Fy nghynefin yw fy nefoedd,
A bro fy mebyd yw fy myd.
'Nabod fa'ma cystal a fi fy hun,
Felly pam 'dwi ar goll o hyd?

Sgyn 'im map, a sgyn 'im arwydd.
A sgyn 'im 'rough guide' ar y daith.

Dwi'n cau fy llygaid ac agor fy enaid
A dilyn lon dy lais.
Dwi'n cau fy llygaid ac agor fy enaid
A dilyn lon dy lais.

CYTGAN
'Does unman yn debyg i Adra',
medda' nhw wrtha fi.
Does unman yn debyg i Adra, na.
Ond mae Adra'n debyg iawn i chdi.

Mae Adra'n debyg iawn i chdi.


ENGLISH TRANSLATION
"There is a town in North Ontario",
said Neil Young in his song.
"Sweet home Alabama",
said Skynyrd beside the fire.
"I'm going back to Blaenau Ffestiniog..."
said the old 'Tebot Piws' (*)
"Take me home, country road",
Denver said - but what's the use?

CHORUS
'There is no place like Home',
is what they told me.
There is no place like home, no.
But Home is very much like you.

I don't know where I'm going,
I don't know where I've been.
I've no idea where I'm right now,
And God knows where I'm supposed to be.

I've slept under the stars in the Sahara,
And stayed up all night in Prague.
I've danced on a mountain top with new friends,
And woken up on am empty 'plane.

CHORUS
'There is no place like Home',
is what they told me.
There is no place like home, no.
But Home is very much like you.

My home is my haven,
And my homeland is my world.
I know here as well as myself,
So why am I still lost?

I haven't a map, I haven't a sign,
And I haven't a 'rough guide' for the journey.

I close my eyes and open my soul
And follow the road of your voice.
I close my eyes and open my soul
And follow the road of your voice.

CHORUS
'There is no place like Home',
is what they told me.
There is no place like home, no.
But Home is very much like you.

Home is very much like you.



[*] Tebot Piws - " Y Tebot Piws" (translates to English literally as "the Purple Teapot") was one of the early Welsh Pop bands in the early 1970s.

[xDROPDEADGORGEOUS]

This song is really pretty <3

[DistantDreamer93]

@xDROPDEADGORGEOUS

Thank you for your comment =)

[trentmuch1]

Welsh music, and indeed other Celtic forms of music, tend to be depressing :P

They were written on the foundations of strong individual passion. Today, a great deal of music is 'generated' for financial purposes. "Stars" are given heartless, 'bleeding heart' lyrics to croon for the benefit of their scumbag paymasters...

Capitalism Rapes Culture. And don't it show....

[DistantDreamer93]

@trentmuch1

Yeah, I get what you're saying but this isn't a depressing song...! Its about home and finding your place in the world...well, that's how I read it anyway!

[Abrilpara2]

The sounds nice, but are there more upbeat pop songs in Welsh?

[DistantDreamer93]

@Abrilpara2

I'm not sure about other you tube videos and channels, but search on my channel 'Elin Fflur' and 'Meinir Gwilym' - both artists have upbeat songs :)

[Endakil]

Thank you for sharing and thank you for the translation.

Cymru am byth from Spain ;)

[WiwerGoch]

Can lyfli! x

[MathewChild]

This song is so beautiful, its been on my journey with me, so I have to thank you for sharing it!

[Rigantona96]

Dwi'n defnyddio'r can prydferth yma fel thema i darn o gwaith cwrs Drama dwi'n neud yn y wythnosa'n dod. Mae hi wir yn hynod o hardd <3

I'm using this beautiful song as a theme for a piece of Drama coursework im doing in the coming weeks. It really is gorgeous <3

[RhysapTomos]

Cân brydferth sy'n gwneud i fi feddwl am 'hiraeth' am yr hen Gymru fach. Mae gwyneth yn ei chanu'n hyfryd. Dw i'n dwlu ar 'Cân y Siarc' hefyd. Ro'n i'n ffodus i'w chlywed yn canu'r ddwy gân hyn ar long yn noc y Barri....Hardd iawn!

[sgrdpdrsn]

Mae dau ffrindiau da edrych ar bethau cyffrous at ei gilydd:

Diving in Bishop Harbor (Deifio yn Esgob Harbor)

[redheadrockchick]

Dwi'n hoffi can hyn :)

[trentmuch1]

@rd998lc

A real experience of passion (Where passion means pain, by strict definition) is an excellent foundation for creativity.

I know how many Welsh folk feel glued to patriotism...

...Rhaid i rhyw'un ddeall does...? :P 

[rd998lc]

@trentmuch1 its about welsh peoples strong sense of belonging to their locality ,dyn y milltir sgwar,i think you must have expeirenced depression first hand and confusing it with song

[ygathddu]

Diolch yn fawr am bostio'r gân hon efo'r cyfieithiad. Fy hoff gân i! Mae'r geiriau'n helpu dysgwyr fel fi.

[Szczepek90]

Pam wnes i glywed hyn gán mor hwyr?

Bob tro dw i'n ymweld á dy broffil, dw i'n darganfod rhybeth newydd!

Why did I hear this song so late?

Every time I visit your profile, I discover something new!
