Llifo
Music and lyrics by Casi Wyn
Produced by Sion Trefor
Dŵr sy’n lleddfu
Water that heals
Dŵr sy’n lloni
Water that inspires
Dŵr sy’n corddi
Water that stirs
yn cynhyrfu
and excites
rhywbeth ynof aeth yn angof,
something within me that was long ago forgotten
geiriau’r teithiau imi eu troedio.
words from my past
the lanes I once treaded.
[Chorus]
Llifo,
Flowing,
pob diferyn dry yn atgof
Every droplet melts into memory
Llifo,
Flowing,
cyn cyrraedd gwely meddal y môr.
before reaching the soft sea bed.
Dŵr sy’n gwasgu
Water that holds
Dŵr sy’n tasgu
Water that whirls
Dŵr sy’n dawnsio
Water that dances
Dŵr sy’n deffro
Water that awakens
Dŵr sy’n annog
Water that encourages
Dŵr sy’n garrog
Water that sings
Dŵr sy’n siapio
Water that shapes
yn cofleidio.
and caresses.
