Ein Tad (Ni ganwn am y cariad rhad)

(Amddiffyn Gwlad)
      Ein Tad,
Ni ganwn am y cariad rhad
Sy'n darian inni
        rhag pob brad;
  O! cadw'n gwlad yn eiddot Ti,
    A nertha hi i'r olaf oes
  I gofio'r Groes a Chalfari!

      Os daw
Gelynion llymion ar bob llaw,
O! cadw bob rhyw niwed draw:
  Moes Di dy law, ac arwain ni
    Yn nydd caledi
            blin a loes
  I gofio'r Croes a Chalfari.  
John James Williams 1869-1954

(Defence of a Land)
      Our Father,
We sing about the free love
That is a shield to us
        against every treachery;
  O keep our land as thine own,
    And strengthen her to the last age
  To remember the cross and Calvary!

      If there come
Keen enemies on every hand,
O keep every kind of harm away:
  Give thy hand, and lead us
    In the day of grievous
            hardship and anguish
  To remember the cross and Calvary.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
