Traditional Welsh; alternate and additional lyrics by Sally DeFord
You know, my only real contributions to this lovely lullaby are the extra lyrics for the third verse and the obbligato for two violins. Well, that... and convincing James that it was about time to sing something in his native Welsh. Never mind that he has lived in England for most of his life... never mind that his Mum and Nana had to coach him on the pronunciation... I wanted to hear it!
If you're like me, when you look at written Welsh (see below) you think, "Nope. Not possible." (What's even worse... try putting it in a score where you have to divide words with *no* vowels in them...yikes!) Well, fortunately I managed to coerce James into working his magic on it. I hope you enjoy actually hearing it as much as I did. |
