YMADAWIAD ARTHUR (The Death Of Arthur)

Troes gemliw wawl tors Gamlan,
Eurai fo drueni `r fan Onid teg, yr ennyd hon,
Drem oer y cedwyr meriwon;
Drwy y gwaed, dros dyrrau gwyr
Heb adwy, y dug Bedwyr ,
O`I nerth, y Brenin Arthur,
O lescai o loes y cur.

Cerddod Bedwyr heb orffwys a `r pwysau
Yn tanio `I wyneb tynhau `I ewynnua
Fel drych o risial glan odditano,
Y gwelai long ar y gloyw li yngo.

Chorus:

Bydd ddewr a glan
Baidd ddioddef ddiddan
Mi weithion I hinon Afallon af

Draw dros y don mae bro dirion nad ery
Cwy
Ynys Afallon pob calon ya hon yn heiny a llon
Ni ddaw fyth I ddeifio hon golli ffydd,
Na thro cywilydd, na thorri callon.

(Repeat chorus)

O drofau`r Ilyn
Anial, Iledodd niwl Ilwydwyn;
Yn araf cyniweiriodd,
Ac yno`r Ilong dano a dodd,
A`I Chelu; fel drychiolaeth,
Yn y niwl diflannu a wnaeth.


A gem-like light spread over Camlan
Gliding the sorrow of the battlefield
How beautiful at this moment
Was the cold stare of dead warriors.
Through blood and tight-packed
mounds of men
Bedevere carried Arthur,
Weakening now from the pain of wounds.

Bedevere walked without resting the heavy burden
Flushing his face, tightening his muscles;
There beneath him like a mirror of crystal
He saw a ship on the shining sea.

Chorus:
Be brave and pure
Suffer willingly
I go now to the fair Avalon

Yonder over the sea there is a tender land
Where there is no pain
The isle of Avalon where every soul
is free and content

Never will it be destroyed by faithlessness
Nor shame nor heartbreak.

(Repeat chorus)

From the depths of the desolate lake
A greyish white mist spread.
Slowly it moved
Until the ship beneath it melted away
And was hidden: like an apparition
It became lost in mist.
