'Bring me my harp', was David's sad sigh, 'I would play one more tune before I die. Help me, dear wife, put the hands to the strings, I wish my loved ones the blessing God brings.' 'Last night an angel called with heaven's breath: "David, play, and come through the gates of death!" Farewell, faithful harp, farewell to your strings, I wish my loved ones the blessing God brings

Welsh lyrics:

'Cariwch,'medd Dafydd, 'fy nhelyn i mi,

Ceisiaf cyn marw roi tôn arni hi.

Codwch fy nwylo i gyrraedd y tant,

Duw a'ch bendithio, fy ngweddw a'm plant.'

'Neithiwr mi glywais lais angel fel hyn,

"Dafydd, tyrd adref a chwarae trwy'r glyn,"

Delyn fy mebyd, ffarwel i dy dant,

Duw a'ch bendithio, fy ngweddw a'm plant.
