This is the Welsh language spoken in Wales in the British Isles.
(Beneath the Waters)
^
Dan y dwr, tawelwch sydd Beneath the waters, it is silent
^
Dan y dwr, galwaf i Beneath the waters, I call you
^
Nid yw’r swn gyda fi There is no company with me.
^
Dan y dwr, taweluch an byth Beneath the waters, silence for ever,
^
Dan y dwr, galwaf i Beneath the waters, I call you.
^
Nid yw’r swn ddim fwy gyda fi. The sound is no longer with me.
Notes:
«Beneath the waters… the village Capel Celyn. This village in
Wales was submerged, against much protest and struggle by its
inhabitants, in order to accomodate a resevoir. This is a lament
for the loss of Capel Celyn, memories now held beneath the water.»
