Cass Meurig & Nial Cain - Clychau Aberdyfi (The Bells of Aberdovey)

The Bells of Aberdovey (in Welsh: Clychau Aberdyfi) is a popular song which refers to the village now usually known by its Welsh name of Aberdyfi (or in English: Aberdovey) in Gwynedd, Wales, at the mouth of the River Dyfi on Cardigan Bay. The song is based on the legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod, which is also called Cantref Gwaelod or Cantref y Gwaelod (or in English: The Bottom or Lowland Hundred). This ancient sunken kingdom is said to have occupied a tract of fertile land lying between Ramsey Island and Bardsey Island in what is now Cardigan Bay to the west of Wales. The legend supposes that the bells of the submerged lost kingdom can be heard ringing below the waves on the beach at Aberdyfi. Welsh Lyrics: Os wyt ti yn bur i mi Fel rwyf fi yn bur i ti Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Meddai clychau Aberdyfi. Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech, saith Mal un, dau tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Meddai clychau Aberdyfi. Hoff gan fab yw meddu serch Y ferch mae am briodi Hoff gen innau ym mhob man Am Morfydd Aberdyfi. Os wyt ti'n fy ngharu i Fel rwyf i'n dy garu di Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Meddai clychau Aberdyfi. Pan ddôf adref dros y môr Cariad gura wrth dy ddôr Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Meddai clychau Aberdyfi. Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Meddai clychau Aberdyfi. Paid â'i wneud yn galon wan Pan ddaw o dan dy faner Os bydd gennyt air i'w ddweud Bydd gwneud yn well o'r hanner Os wyt ti'n fy ngharu i Fel rwyf fi'n dy garu di Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech Meddai clychau Aberdyfi. English Lyrics: If to me as true thou art As I am true to thee, sweetheart We'll hear one, two, three, four, five, six From the bells of Aberdovey. Hear one, two, three, four, five, six Hear one, two, three, four, five and six From the bells of Aberdovey. Glad's a lad his lass to wed When she sighed, "I love you!" When but today on air I tread For Gwen of Aberdovey. While the heart beats in my breast Cariad, I will love thee, by One, two, three and all the rest Of the bells of Aberdovey. When I cross the sea once more And love comes knocking at my door Like one, two, three, four, five and six Of the bells of Aberdovey. One, two, three, four, five and six Like one, two, three, four, five and six Of the bells of Aberdovey. Little loves and hopes shall fly Round us in a covey When we are married, you and I At home in Aberdovey. If to me as true thou art As I am true to thee, sweetheart We'll hear one, two, three, four, five, six From the bells of Aberdovey. https://cassmeurigandnialcain.bandcam...
