Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a town in California.

Cardiff is a city in Wales.

It seems unlikely that CARDIFF BY THE SEA is a Welsh folk song.

The song CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA that 999 posted above can be heard at YouTube, performed by the Ataris. It was written by Kris Roe, a member of the Ataris, and comes from their album "Welcome the Night" (2007). It is certainly not a folk song.

But there is at least one other musical piece with the same title.

There's one written by Thom Rotella, which appears on his albums "Without Words" (1990) and "Platinum Melodies" (1996). Thom Rotella is a jazz guitarist. A sample that I heard has no words.

Found with a google of "Cardiff by the sea", lyrics



The sea has many colors
Profoundly red as wine
The skies they bleed with fleeting passion tonight

Come sweet euphoria
Your light is blinding to me
You feel as comforting as a mother's warm embrace
But still you're just as lonely as the sea

We gaze out upon the crashing waves
>From this hillside graveyard masquerade
Sweet terrible angel
Embrace my soul with light
Is it honesty that sunk my lungs and is dying to get out
But still I'm helpless as an orphaned child

Can you cure this loneliness in my heart
My heart
Can you cure this loneliness in my heart
In my heart

Euphoria, euphoria
Euphoria, euphoria
Euphoria, euphoria

Does anyone know the lyrics to a old Welsh FOlk Song called "Cardiff by the Sea"? I have seen the song in some method books for band instruments but there are no words.

Thanks.
