Holl amrantau'r sêr ddywedant, O! Mor siriol gwena'r seren, |
Ho-hXll ahm-ran-tyre sayr tha-wade-ant, Ohh mor see ryol gwennahr sairen, double "ll" = notated 'hXll' : place tip of tongue to roof of your mouth (like you're going to make an 'L' sound) and breathe out. |
English Translation 1]
Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night.
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night.
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night.
2]
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night.
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night.
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night.
