< Could you all please help in translating the words to this song? > Sure. What follows is basically a literal translation, with a rephrasing in brackets where the literal meaning sounded awkward. < Caru'i iaith yw gwaith y Cymro, > To love his language is the work [i.e. duty] of the Welshman, < ar hyd y nos > all the length of the night [i.e. all through the night] < Caru'i wlad gu, fad, tra byddo, > To love his beloved, good land, as long as he exists [i.e. lives] < Caru urddas ei berth'nasau, > To love the dignity of his relations [or "relatives", to us Americans] < caru moesau a defodau > to love the traditions and customs < ei odidog ddewrion dadau, > of his splendid [or excellent] brave fathers [i.e. forefathers--polygamy was NOT one of the Welsh traditions and customs...] There you go. If you really want a word-by-word translation, you'll have to find someone who's not writing at four-thirty in the morning. By the way, won't you tell us the source of this verse? (These are not the usual words to "Ar Hyd y Nos".) Marta Weingartner weingart@ucs.indiana.edu
