Ar lan y môr mae rhosys cochion Ar lan y môr mae carreg wastad Ar lan y môr mae cerrig gleision Llawn yw'r môr o swnd a chegryn Mor hardd yw'r haul yn codi'r bore |
Down by the sea red roses are blooming; Down where the sea laps at the flat rock By the seaside are blue stones Full the sea of sand and billows Fair the sun at new day’s dawning |
