the return back to c. this version was sung by ben phillips of mathry which was played to me by ceri rhys matthews - a more interesting melody than the more popular version...

lyrics
ar lan y môr mae rhosys cochion
ar lan y môr mae lilis gwynion
ar lan y môr mae'r glan rhosynau
ar lan y môr mae nghariad innau.
oer yw rhew ac oer yw'r eira
oer yw tŷ heb dân yn y gaea
oer yw eglwys heb ddim 'ffeirad
oer wyf finne heb fy nghariad.
dacw'r tŷ a dacw'r talcen
lle ges i nosweithiau llawen
yn y lloft uwchben y cegin
gyda ferch a hosanne melyn.
ma gen i fuwch a doi gorn arian
ma gen i fuwch sy'n godro'i hunan
ma gen i fuwch sy'n llanw stwcau
fel mae'r môr yn llanw baeau.

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
