lyrics

Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn - Translation

Watching the White Wheat

I’m a young and carefree boy,
Who lives and follows his fancy
I guard the yellow wheat,
Another reaps the harvest.
Why not come and follow me?
One day, and then another,
For I see thee, my little maid.
Ever fairer and fairer.

Fair and fairer art thou each day,
Or I myself more foolish;
For His sake who fashioned thee
Have now on me some mercy.
Lift your head, look on me.
Give your gentle white hand.
For in your bosom, winning one,
Is the key to my heart also.

While the sea with salt doth run,
And while my hair is growing
And while a heart beats in my breast
To thee will I be faithful.
Tell me the truth with no concealing.
And place under seal thine answer,
If ‘tis I, or another, Gwen
Whom thy heart is claiming
