Rwy'n caru merch o blwy' Penderyn
ac yn ei chanlyn ers lawer dydd
ni all'swn garu ag un ferch arall
er pan gwelais r'un gron ei grudd
Mae hi'n ddigon hawdd ei gweled
er nad yw ond dyrnaid fach;
pan elo draw i rhodio'r caeau
fy nghalon claf hi wna yn iach.
I love a maid who's from Penderrin,
been courting of her these many days;
I'd hardly fancy to love another,
not since I saw her winsome face.
I take such delight to see her,
though she's but a tiny thing;
if she walks out across the meadow
she makes my lovesick heart to sing.
