  1. David of the White Rock (Dafydd y Garreg Wen)

From the recording Celtic Fairy Dream

Share

This is a traditional Welsh air composed by the harper David Owen around 1749. The words were added about a hundred years later by the poet, John Ceiriog Hughes. In the song, David says that he has heard an angel’s voice and so he calls for his harp to play one last tune before going home to Heaven. He asks for God’s blessing for his wife and children.

Lyrics

‘Cariwch’, medd Dafydd, ‘fy nhelyn i mi,
Ceisiaf cyn marw roi tôn arni hi.
Codwch fy nwylo i gyraedd y tant;
Duw a’ch bendithio fy ngweddw a’m plant!’

‘Neithiwr mi glywais lais angel fel hyn:
“Dafydd, tyrd adref, a chwarae trwy’r glyn!”
Delyn fy mebyd, ffarwel i dy dant!
Duw a’ch bendithio fy ngweddw a’m plant!’
