about

A popular "song and chorus" Welsh folk song, the first verse noted in Radnorshire and the remaining unrequitted love verses attributed to the "Bardd Coch", Thomas Elias, a traveling singing tailor.

lyrics

Dacw 'nghariad i lawr yn y berllan
Tw-rym-di ro rym-di ra-dl-i-dl-al
O na bawn i yno fy hunan|
Tw-rym-di ro rym-di ra-dl-i-dl-al
Dacwr ty, a dacwr sgubor
Dacw ddrws y beudyn agor.
Ffal-di-ra-dl-i-dl-al Ffal-di-ra-dl-I-dl-al
Tw-rym-di ro rym-di-ra-dl-i-dl-al

Theres my love in yonder orchard,
Oh that I might there wander.
Theres the house and theres the barn
Theres the door that beckons me.

Theres the oak with wide spread branches,
Pleasantly it shades enhances.
I will wait there, heed its greeting
Soon my lover to be meeting.

Theres the harp, but naught can cheer me,
For my love is never near me.
If my mind I cant discover
What will I be but a hapless lover?

Dacwr delyn, dacwr tannau,
Beth wyf gwell, heb neb iw chwarae?
Dacwr feinwen hoenus fanwl
Beth wyf nes heb gael ei meddwl?
