Mae gen i chwaer Mari (I have a sister Mary)
A stable-loft song formerly sung by farmhands in Ynys Môn.
Mae gen i chwaer Mari ’a chap o las fawr
A’r las yn troi fyny, a’r las yn troi fyny
A’r las yn troi lawr
A llathen a hanner o galico côn Wel sut y ca’i dalu
Ei dalu y nol
Mae gen i chwaer Mari ‘a chap o las fawr
A’r las yn troi fyny, a’r las yn troi fyny
A’r las yn troi lawr
A troedfedd a hanner o galico côn
Wel sut y ca’i dalu
Ei dalu y nol
Mae nghariad i ’leni
Fel gwynt o flaen glaw
Yn caru ffordd yma, yn caru ffordd yma
A charu ffordd draw
Ni cha’r cywir galon yn gariad ond un
Y sawl a gar lawer gaiff fod heb yr un
I have a sister Mari with a great lace cap
And the lace turns up and the lace turns up
And the lace turns down
And a yard and a half of cone calico
Well how can I pay it, pay it back?
I have a sister Mari with a great lace cap
And the lace turns up and the lace turns up
And the lace turns down
And a foot and a half of cone calico
Well how can I pay it, pay it back?
My love this year is like wind before the rain
Loving this way, loving this way
Loving that way
You only have one true heart’s love
Those who have many may end without any
