Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Can Y Melinydd in English by Joan Mills From: Nigel Parsons Date: 07 Sep 20 - 11:49 AM The version on Mamalisa's page does not appear to be the one being looked for, as the words are different. In fact, the one on Mamalisa's page was copied (with permission) from Mudcat, where we had an enjoyable time translating the song, and then getting the translation to match the rhyme scheme and the scansion of the original: Here Cheers Nigel |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Can Y Melinydd in English by Joan Mills From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 07 Sep 20 - 01:34 PM CÂN Y MELINYDD (The Miller Song) I have a golden pony, The fleetest ever seen, Whose flying feet are shod, love, With shoes of silver sheen. Fal di ral lal di ridey ro Fal di ral lal di ridey ro Fal di ral, di ridey ro-o-o-o A-a-a-a, a-a, a-a. Twelve pullets and a cockerel, A score of brindled kine; And fatter pigs than any - Were never pigs like mine. Off goes my flying filly On flashing silver shoon O'er river, field, and mountain To bring you back the moon. I'll travel through the valleys, I'll travel through the hills, I'll travel through the forests, I'll go where'er you will. Source: Joan Mills & Mike Raven Cân Y Melinydd (1976). (Lp on youtube) |
