W:
W:Rhwym wrth dy wregys, gleddyf gwyn dy dad;
W:Atynt fy machgen! tros dy wlad!
W:Mwg y pentrefydd gyfyd gyda'r gwynt,
W:Draw dy gymrodyr ânt yn gynt.
W:Sych dy ddagrau, i dy gyfrwy naid,
W:Gwrando'r saethau'n suo fel seirph dibaid;
W:Wrth dy fwa, hyn wna'th fraich yn gref,
W:Cofia am dy dad, fel bu farw ef!
W:
W:Fast to thy girdle fix thy father's brand!
W:Forth then his slayers to withstand!
W:Hamlets are smoking in their evil path.
W:Rise, Cymru's champions, in your wrath!
W:No more weeping! to the saddle spring!
W:O hark the rushing arrows like serpents sing!
W:Now remember, as you bend your bow,
W:Your sire within his chamber cold and low.
W:
W:Full on the Saxon give your horses head!
W:Raise, raise the Dragon to his dread!
W:Now he has broken, now he flies in fear!
W:Now let your trumpet terrify his ear!
W:Shouts of triumph wake and echo on
W:For victory, our victory o'er Moel y Don:
W:God go with thee! covering thy head!
W:For sacred is the stroke for a father dead.
W:
W:Marchog i'w canol! dangos dy arfbais,
W:Cyfod gochfaner Dychryn Sais!
W:Chwyth yr hen udgorn a ferwina'i glust,
W:Byw o'i enciliad bydd yn dyst.
W:Swn gorfoledd clyw yr ennyd hon,
W:Bloeddio "Buddugoliaeth" tros Foel y Don;
W:Bendith arnat, dos yn enw'r nef!
W:Cofia am dy dad, fel bu farw ef!
