Un funud fach cyn elor haul or wybren,
Un funud fwyn cyn delor hwyr iw hynt,
I gofio am y pethau anghofiedig
Ar goll yn awr yn llwch yr amser gynt.
English / Saesneg
One short minute before the sun goes from the sky,
One gentle minute before the night starts on its journey,
To remember the forgotten things
Lost now in the dust of times gone by.
Mynych ym mrig yr hwyr, a mi yn unig,
Daw hiraeth am eich nabod chwi bob un,
A oes ach deil o hyd mewn Cof a Chalon,
Hen bethau anghofiedig teulu dyn?
English / Saesneg
Often in the evening, when I am alone,
A longing comes to know you every one;
Is there anything that can keep you still in the Heart and Memory,
The old forgotten things of the human family?
--pn: Perhaps difficult to translate, for example ...

Hiraeth, is not simply longing, but heart-felt longing, not an insipid childish homesi
kness, but a mature, adult emotion of deep yearning, almost unfathomable, for, in t
his case, the old forgotten things of the human family.
