Myfanwy (← annwyl, beloved) is a popular Welsh song, composed by Joseph Parry and first published in 1875. Parry wrote the music to lyrics written by Richard Davies ('Mynyddog'; 1833-77). Some sources say it was written with Parry's childhood sweetheart, Myfanwy Llywellyn, in mind, although the lyrics were probably inspired by the fourteenth-century love-story of Myfanwy Fychan of Dinas Brân, Llangollen and the poet Hywel ab Einion. That story was also the subject of the popular poem, 'Myfanwy Fychan' (1858), by John Ceiriog Hughes (1832-87).

  • Sorry to correct the title but 'i mewn' really means 'inside' and 'in' within this context should be 'yn' so the title ought to read 'Myfanwy yn Gymraeg'

  • Joseph Parry's childhood sweetheart - Myfanwy Llywellyn - was almost certainly fictional. She was invented by Jack Jones, who wrote a historical novel about Joseph (Off to Philadelphia in the Morning).

    I met Jack a few times. He was a wonderful storyteller, but a terrible liar. I don't think he even knew the difference.
