Cor Meibion Abercynon - Hiraeth

The titular song of the album of the same name. Released this year, Hiraeth is a collection of some well loved songs in English and Welsh. You can find more details and order a CD (from within the UK) here:

This is stolen without permission from the CD made by my local choir, but I thought there's no video of them on youtube and I thought it would be nice if they got a bit of attention. I'll ask the dude in charge soon and if he has a problem with it I'll take it down, so enjoy it while you can, it might not be here long.

Lyrics:

Dwedwch fawrion o wybodaeth
O ba beth a gwnaethpwyd hiraeth
A pha ddefnydd a roedd ynddo
Na ddarfyddo wrth ei wisgo ?

Derfydd aur a derfydd arian
Derfydd melfed derfydd sidan
Derfydd pob dilledyn helaeth
Eto er hyn ni dderfydd hiraeth

Hiraeth mawr a hiraeth creulon
Hiraeth sydd yn torri 'nghalon
Pan fwyf dryma'r nos yn cysgu
Fe ddaw hiraeth ac a'm deffry

(Hiraeth hiraeth cilia cilia
Paid a phwyso mor drwm arna'
Nesa dipyn at y erchwyn
Gad i mi gael cysgu gronyn)

English lyrics:

Tell me oh wise ones
Of what stuff is hiraeth made?
And what substance is put into it
That it never fades from being worn

Gold fades and silver fades
Velvet fades silk fades
Every sort of clothing fades
And yet hiraeth doesn't fade

Great Hiraeth cruel hiraeth
Hiraeth tears at my heart
When I'm sleeping deeply at night
Hiraeth comes and wakes me

(Hiraeth hiraeth away away
Don't weigh so heavily on me
Go a little nearer to the edge
Let me have a little bit of sleep)
