Yet another translation, courtesy of Singing Together (Summer 1954) as I'm working on that thread at the moment:
SUO GAN Welsh Lullaby Translated by M Ll Davies
Sleep my baby, rest my loved one, Softly slumber now with me. Clasped in mother's arms so tender, Warm in mother's love for thee. Naught shall ever come to harm thee While my loving watch I keep. Thou my pretty one shall slumber While I sing thy lullaby.
Sleep my baby, rest my loved one, While the evening shadows creep. Why, my birdie, art thou smiling, Smiling sweetly in thy sleep? Can it be that all the angels In God's heaven smile on thee? Rest my darling, smile and slumber While I sing thy lullaby.
