A minnau'n hamddena 'rol byw ar y don;
Gwyn ewyn y lli oedd ei gwisg, a disgleirwen
A'r glasfor oedd llygaid Gwen harddaf Llwyn Onn.
A ninnau'n rhodiana drwy'r lonydd i'r banna,
Sibrydem i'n gilydd gyfrinach byd serch;
A phan ddaeth hi'n adeg farwelio a'r wiwdeg,
Roedd tannau fy nghalon yng ngofal y ferch.
Cyn dychwel i borthladd wynebwn y tonnau,
Ond hyfryd yw'r hafan 'rol dicter y don;
Bydd melys anghofio her greulon y creigiau--
Un felly o'wn innau 'rol cyrraedd Llwyn Onn.
A thawel mordwyo wnaf mwyach a Gwenno
Yn llong fach ein bwthyn a hi wrth y llyw;
A hon fydd yr hafan ddiogel a chryno
I'r morwr a'i Wenno tra byddwn ni byw.
"Wel, dowch, Mrs Pwyll. A chithau'n gantores o fri. Chydig o gerdd dant ?"
" Na, na, gyfeillion. A beth bynnag, alla i ddim canu cerdd dant yn ddigyfeiliant ! "
Pesychodd y barman. " Ym, musus. Ma gen i fowth-organ." A chanodd nodau cyntaf ' Llwyn Onn' "
That's a little chunk of Dafydd Meirion's "Radio Rafins" ... it's where I'm up to as it happens ...I wrote about it 11 posts ago. So I thought I would see if I could find this " Llwyn Onn" and I did ... Llwyn = grove,bush, and Onnen = Onn= Ash Tree... so it's the Welsh traditional tune "The Ash Grove. Those words up at the top are the words. Unfortunately it's not been "done" by Datblygu, or Anhrefn, or M C Mabon, or anyone else of note either. No.
So, here's Thomas L Thomas doing it .... it's not exactly rabble-rousing or iconoclastic, but it's close .... I expect the L stands for Lom, or Loetran ,or Loes, or Lolian, or Lab, or Lob. or Lwyn, or Lysti, or Labio, or Larwm ... something implying a certain hint of menace or non-conformity.
I'm sure you all remember what the "ghost" of a word is .... EOC is the ghost of RELOCATE and VELOCITY and ELOCUTION and ELECTRONIC ... in each of those, if you blow away some of the letters you can leave EOC behind as a sort of "ghost" .. the remains ofthe original word.
Anyway, in the waiting-time available I couldn't think of any Welsh words which had EOC as their ghost. But I did think of another thing ... Treorci ! But I couldn't remember the right way to spell it ... and anyway, it's a place-name, not a Welsh word. So "treorci" has EOC as one of its many ghosts ... along with RR, and ECI and TEC ... ac, as they say, ati.
