SUO GAN Lullaby
---------------------------------------

Sleep, my baby, on my bosom,
Warm and cosy will it prove;
Round thee mother's arms are folding,
In her heart a mother's love.
There shall no one come to harm thee,
Naught shall ever break thy rest;
Sleep my darling babe in quiet,
Sleep on mother's gentle breast.

Sleep serenely, baby, slumber,
Lovely baby, gently sleep;
Tell me wherefore thou art smiling,
Smiling sweetly in thy sleep ?
Do the angels smile in heaven
When thy happy smile they see
Dost thou on them smile while slumb'ring
On my bosom peacefully.

----------------------------------------

Bye,

Here are the Welsh lyrics, to add to the English translation
that has already been posted.

(sorry I can't figure out how to manage the carat over vowels)

Suo Gan

Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes,
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon,
Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron.
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun
Ni wna undyn a thi gam;
Huna'n dawel annwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.

Huna'n dawel heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu
Arnat ti yu gwenu'n llon?
Tithau'n gwenu'n ol dy huno
Huna'n dawel ar fy mron.
