I still sing this song [in English], though the words are different [different translation, I imagine]. Lovely tune to 'Mentra Gwen', I've always thought

A one of kind poem of love. Fascinating lines with wonderful rythym. So beautifully crafted and well executed. Thank you for sharing, Shaun.

Thanks Rose Marie for your kind and gracious comment. This is a classic beautiful Welsh poem/song from North Wales hundreds of years old. It was hard to translate from old Welsh and to get it to flow right. Maybe still not right but the best I could do. Thanks again Rose Marie and take care and the loved ones around you.
