Welsh Songs on Soundcloud

Postby RobertBruce » Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:09 pm

I'm starting this thread because now we can embed Soundcloud clips, and I didn't want to clog up the speaking thread with music.

So this is a bit like the video thread, but for songs, um, without videos. I'll try not to hog the thread, but who knows? :wink:

First up, a lost classic by Dyl Mei:

I do promise not to monopolise this thread. Honest.

I could add quite a few as well as I've found quite a few good bands on SoundCloud but I'll just add this one for now. Its from Jen Jeniro's new 5 track album "Swimming Limbs" which I think sounds amazing.

Great thread! I've really started to enjoy listening to Welsh music and have been delighted to discover what great material there is out there.

I really like this new track by Kronwall, and I've included the lyrics they sent me below which are pretty easy to learn - if someone could explain to me what 'felma' means I'd be very grateful though! :smile:

Cod dy arfau cyn symyd nol, cyn symyd ymlaen,
Felma ma petha'n mynd i fod, felma ma petha'n mynd i fod,
Nes di ofyn wrtha i lle fydda i mewn pum mlynedd,
Fel yma ma petha'n mynd i fod, fel yma ma petha'n mynd i fod,

Chorus

Ond y gwir sy'n brifo, y gwir sy'n tynnu ti lawr,
Be fydd dyfodol chi pan fydd petha'n mynd i lawr,
Ond y gwir sy'n brifo, y gwir sy'n tynnu ti lawr,
Be fydd dyfodol chi pan fydd petha'n mynd i lawr.

Verse 2

Arbed amser cyn symyd nol, cyn symyd ymlaen,
Mae pethau gwell i ddod, mae petha gwell i ddod,
Er bod holi wrtha i byth yn cael ateb cyflawn,
Mae na bethau gwell i ddod, mae na betha gwell i ddod.
Cywirwch fi os gwelwch chi'n dda ~ Correct me please

That's the same tack as I posted above, but well worth posting twice. :D

Felma, fel 'ma and fel yma are all the same thing, I think - like this.

Remix, anyone?

Ha that'll teach me to listen to the songs on the thread before posting again! Diolch for the translation, I was wondering if it was some variation on 'fel'.

I tried but failed to find a video of this song by Lleuwen for the Video thread a while back after seeing her do an amazing performance of it on Bandit (S4C). (the title could be mistaken as being in English but is actually Welsh!)

I'm sure someone will get round to posting it up eventually... :wink:
