PENNILL 1 |
VERSE 1 |
Pedwar, tri, dau, barod? |
Four, three, two, ready? |
‘Nol yn y canol oesoedd |
Back in the middle ages |
Yn Brenig, Dyfnant, Dyfi |
In Brenig, Dyfnant, Dyfi |
Gath chwedl am yrrwr Cymraeg |
A fable about a Welsh driver |
Ei eni ac ei sgwennu |
Was born and written |
Mae’n anodd i ddweud y wiriondebd |
It’s hard to tell the truth |
Am y gyrrwr o Ddolgellau |
About the pilot from Dolgellau |
Ac fel unrhyw chwedl arall |
And like any other fable |
Mae’n cychwyn cyn iddo dechrau. |
It starts before it begins. |
CYTGAN |
CHORUS |
O Elfyn ap Gwyndaf |
Oh Elfyn Son of Gwyndaf |
Nid ein Evans olaf |
Not our final Evans |
Elfyn ap Gwyndaf |
Elfyn son of Gwyndaf |
Ti d’ir gyflymach. |
You are the quickest |
PENNILL 2 |
VERSE 2 |
Mae hanes o’r gorffenol |
The history from the past |
Am Gwyndaf tad Elfyn |
Of Gwyndaf Elfyn’s father |
Yn ennill Prydain i’r Cymreig |
Winning Britain for the Welsh |
Wrth i’w yrfa tynnu i derfyn. |
As his career came to a close |
Roedd e’n baratoi ei fab |
He was preparing his son |
I sgwennu pennod newydd |
To write a new chapter |
I cario’r enw enwog ymlaen |
To carry the famous name forwards |
Elfyn ap Gwyndaf |
Elfyn son of Gwyndaf |
Neu efallai Elfyn Evans? |
Or perhaps Elfyn Evans? |
CYTGAN |
CHORUS |
O Elfyn ap Gwyndaf |
Oh Elfyn Son of Gwyndaf |
Ti d’ir gyflymach |
You are the quickest |
Elfyn ap Gwyndaf |
Elfyn son of Gwyndaf |
Nid ein Evans olaf
Nid ein Evans olaf
Nid ein Evans olaf. |
Not our final Evans.
Not our final Evans.
Not our final Evans. |
Elfyn ap Gwyndaf (English version) |
History from the past
Will tell of Gwyndaf, Elfyn’s father
Winning Britain for the Welsh
And writing a new chapter
He gave his only son for us
For what would happen after
He left for the heavens we’d have
Elfyn son of Gwyndaf
Known, as Elfyn Evans.
Oh Elfyn, son of Gwyndaf
Not “Evans The Last”
Elfyn son of Gwyndaf
Both of them are fast
Both of them are fast
Both of them are fast
Both of them are fast. |
