---------
Huna blentyn yn fy mynwes
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat,
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
Ni cha' dim amharu'th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.
Huna'n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon,
Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron?
Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.

(English)
Sleep my baby, at my breast,
Tis a mothers arms round you.
Make yourself a snug, warm nest.
Feel my love forever new.
Harm will not meet you in sleep,
Hurt will always pass you by.
Child beloved, always youll keep,
In sleep gentle, mothers breast nigh.
Sleep in peace tonight, sleep,
O sleep gently, what a sight.
A smile I see in slumber deep,
What visions make your face bright?
Are the angels above smiling,
At you in your peaceful rest?
Are you beaming back while in
Peaceful slumber on mothers breast?
Do not fear the sound, its a breeze
Brushing leaves against the door.
Do not dread the murmuring seas,
Lonely waves washing the shore.
Sleep child mine, theres nothing here,
While in slumber at my breast,
Angels smiling, have no fear,
Holy angels guard your rest.

MAGNIFICENT, SUO GÂN, MY MUM WAS DYING AND LISTENIG TO THIS. tHANKS 4 POSTING. ALTHOUGH THE EMPIRE OF THE SUN CHOIR BOYS WAS TOO, TRULLY AMZING.

Well if you've ever seen the movie Empire of the Sun, this is the English version of Suo Gan. The foreign version is even more amazing. You can listen to it on Amazon from the Empire of the Sun soundtrack listening. I think they are amazing. Thank you for posting this.

"Suo Gân", as performed by James Rainbird and the Ambrosian Junior Choir directed by John McCarthy, is featured prominently in the film Empire of the Sun, where it is lip-synched by a young Christian Bale. It also appears, instrumentally, in the beginning of the movie Dutch. Here the Vienna Boys do it justice, as well.

[kaindrg]

this is the english version ?

[gOtHiCxAnGeLxox]

While this is nice enough to listen to, I much prefer the original Welsh version.

[Liffster]

King's College, Cambridge has the most perfect version and in the original Welsh language. On the other hand, there is a version by Charlotte Church who is actually Welsh.

@gobluesocks You mean the WELSH version used in Empire of the Sun? :)
