Ambell i Gan

Ambell i gan a geidw fy mron
Rhag suddo i lawr dan amal i don;
  Mae'r awen mor siriol,
      mor swynol mor lan,
  Diolchaf o galon
      am ambell i gan.
 
Ambell i gan
    dry dwllwch y nos,
Mor olau a'r dydd, mor siriol a'r rhos,
  Caddugol anobaith gymylau - fel gwlan
  Y troant, os gallaf
      gael ambell i gan.
 
Ambell i gan
    rydd nerth yn y fraich,
A'r ysgwydd i gario
    amal i faich,
  A grym anawsterau
      falurir yn lan
  Os gallaf gael canu ambell i gan.
 
Ambell i gan a gaf yn y byd,
Ond teithiaf i wlad
    sydd yn ganu i gyd,
  Ac wedi im' adael yr anial yn lan
  Gobeithiaf gael canu,
      nid ambell i gan

An occasional song will keep my breast
From sinking down under the frequent wave;
  The muse is so cheerful,
      so attractive, so pure,
  I give heart-felt thanks
      for an occasional song.

An occasional to song
    as the night turns dark,
So light is the day, so cheerful the rose,
  Misty, hopeless clouds - like wool
  They turn, if I can
      get an occasional song.

An occasional song
    gives strength in the limb,
And the shoulder to carry
    many a burden,
  And the force of difficulties
      to be crushed completely
  If I can get to sing an occasional song.

An occasional song I will get in the world,
But I travel to a land
    which is all singing,
  And after I leave the desert completely
  I hope to get to sing,
      not an occasional song.
