Cwcw Fach (Little cuckoo)
Cwcw fach ond wyt ti’n ffoliog
Yn nythu ymlith yr eithin pigog
Dos i blwyf Dolgellau dirion
Ti gei yno llwyni gwyrddion
Robin goch daeth at yr hiniog
A’i ddwy aden yn anwydog
A dywedai mor ysmala
Mae hi’n oer, fe ddaw y gaeaf
Y mae’r adar bach yn nythu
Dyddiau c’lanmai sydd yn nesu
Cym’rwch galon fy mwynfrodyr
Fe ddaw gwaith ar fin y bladyr
Little cuckoo, but you’re foolish
Nesting amongst the spikey gorse
Come to the gentle parish of Dolgellau
There you’ll have green bushes
Red robin came to the doorstep
His two wings cold
And he said, so smartly
It’s cold, the winter will come
The little birds are nesting
May days are drawing near
Take heart my gentle brothers
Work will come to the plough’s edge
