2.Colled

Pan own ger y dyfroedd oer
Yn difa'r lloer a cherrig
Disgynnodd floedd o'r nefoedd
Mewn rhu o wyntoedd ffyrnig

Dros y d?r daeth alarch du
Yn plethu plu pruddglwyfus
Yn llithro'n llwm a phendrwm
Ymysg y bwrlwm stormus

Anodd dala d?r y llyn
Yng nghwpan tynn fy nwylo
Anodd cadw'r alarch draw
O'r baw lle mynnai lanio

Trwm yw'r adain ddu ar rai
Ond pwysa lai ar eraill
Sy'n cydio'n dynn mewn plufyn
A'i dderbyn fel hen gyfaill

Wedi'r deryn tywyll ffoi
A'r gwyntoedd troi'n ddiniwed
Mor anwaraidd yn fy nghraidd
Oedd atsain oeraidd colled

Anodd dala d?r y llyn
Yng nghwpan tynn fy nwylo
Anodd cadw'r alarch draw
O'r baw lle mynnai lanio

Loss

As I was beside the icy depths
Destroying the stars with stones
A roar descended from above
In a gale of fierce winds

Over the water came a black swan
Folding her melancholy wings
Sliding glum and heavy
Amongst the stormy water

Hard to hold the water of the lake
In the tight cup of my hands
Hard to keep the swan away
From the soil where it must land

Heavy is the black wing on some
But it weighs less on those
That grasp her feathers close
And greet her as an old friend

After the dark bird had away
The winds became harmless
So savage in my heart
Was the cold echo of loss

Hard to hold the water of the lake
In the tight cup of my hands
Hard to keep the swan away
From the soil where it must land
