Hi everyone,
I am a former Welsh learner and very rusty! I have an immediate need to see if someone could help me out. I am reading a poem in Welsh at my dad’s funeral which is on Tuesday July 25th in the morning, Boston time, USA. I would love to get a few minutes of someone’s time just to see if I am pronouncing things right because I have forgotten so much. If anyone is willing, thank you!
Today’s a really busy day for us, but if you could put the text and a recording of it, I’ll give feedback before the end of the day
Diolch! I hope this link works – I tried to upload a file but it wouldn’t let me.
Pan fyddaf yn gwrando ar alawon melys, soniarus fy ngwlad
cael ei chanu gan leisiau Cymreig ffres ac ifanc sy’n eu caru
yn yr iaith mor gryf a hardd
sydd wedi tyfu allan o’r mynyddoedd oesol
a’r dyffrynnoedd dwfn, tywyll
Yr wyf yn gyflawn gan nad wyf mewn unrhyw fodd arall
Yna ydw i’n cael fy nal i fyd naturiol
ac yr wyf yn un gyda’m tadau
a chyda’r rhai a ddaw ar fy ôl i
a chyda’r rhai sydd eto, yn y dyddiau mor anadfywiedig hyn
llefara’r ymadrodd hwnnw o brydferthwch rhyfeddol
yr hon a wnaeth ein tadau
