Back in June 2002 we had a request for a translation This Thread of the Welsh "Cân Y Melinydd" from 'Mad Maudlin' who wished to sing it in Welsh, but wanted to know what she was singing. This led to a translation, and later to a translation which also followed scansion and rhyme scheme, so the song could be sung in English. However, if one can produce a reasonable approximation of the pronunciation and accentuation, I would always prefer to hear an attempt in the original.

Personal preference only!
