Oer yw'r gwr sy'n methu caru, ffa la ayyb
        Cold the man who doesn't love
Hen fynyddoedd annwyl Cymru
        the old mountains of beloved Wales
Iddo ef a'i car cynhesaf
        to him and his warmest love
Gwyliau llawen blwyddyn nesaf.
        next year's joyous holidays.

Off the top of the head, so to speak, but I think the words are right.
