Aderyn pur, a'r adain las
Bydd imi'n was dibrydar;
O brysur, brysia at y Ferch
'lle rhoais i'm serch yn gynnar.
Dos di ati, dywed wrthi
'mod i'n wylo dwr yn heli,
'mod i'n irad am ei gweled
ac o'i chariad yn ffaelu a cherdded!
O Duw, faddeuo'r hardd ei lun
am boeni dyn mor galed.
O lovely bird, on wing so grey,
now swift away to my truelove;
O hurry, hurry to the lass
whom I confess as my new love.
Find her, tell her it's her fault
that my tears are running salt,
if she'd meet me, I'd be ready -
I'm so in love, I can't stand steady.
May God forgive that lovely face
that's placed me in such turmoil.
