There are some adjectives in Welsh that come before the noun, grammatically, and some occasions where the adjective is placed first (where it wouldn't normally appear) for poetic reasons but I don't really think this is an example. Apart from anything else, placing the adjective first at any time causes a soft mutuation in the noun and that wouldn't be something that would be 'lost' even in a macaronic setting.
