Is this the English version of the same song?
TRYWERYN
(Meic Stevens / Heather Jones)
The poppies on the hill are still
The red rose in its bed lies dead
And flowers grow no more no more
In the land below the tall grey hills
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
The meadow where we'd played is grey
The valley and the field won't yield
And flowers grow no more no more
In the land below the tall grey hills
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
Darkness gathers now
Leaves fall from the bough
The people have all gone
Nothing can live on
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
The water is sleeping in Tryweryn
(sung by Heather Jones on the sampler 'Valley Lights', 1986)
