about

A traditional Welsh winter carol, on the measure Malltod Dolgellau. The lyrics were written by a distant cousin.

lyrics

Traed oer, y gwynt o’r dwyrain, - chwibanogl
Uwchben yn dolefain;
I glwydo brysio mae’r brain,
A galar yng nghri’r gwylain.

Adar y llwyn yn cwyno - heidia’r stoc,
Drws y ty yn chwyddo,
A’r ewynnog for heno
A’i ru a’i grafu’n y gro

Gweled trum pell Pumlumon - yn eglur,
A’r gogledd hyd Arfon
Yn agos; a’r gwynegon
A’r naws oer, am eira’n son

Diwniad wn newydd - a hwnnw
Yn gannaid ysblennydd,
Rig-owt dew rhag y tywydd,
Ar y Foel fory a fydd.

canu rhydd
by fernhill

Fernhill are the best representatives of Welsh folk music. Their new album Canu Rhydd artfully interweaves traditional Welsh music and poetry with modern esthetic, testing the boundaries of the genre. ceri 'gwal' owen-jones

Perwg
by Sille Ilves

This is a beautiful album - a culmination of a ten year long journey of an Estonian (and tundra sister) through Wales. Uplifting and moving... ceri 'gwal' owen-jones
