This is a traditional Welsh lullaby. The words Si hei lwli don't mean anything.
Si hei lwli 'mabi, mae'r llong yn mynd i ffwrdd
Si fy mabi lwli, mae'r capten ar y bwrdd
Si hei lwli, lwli lws, cysga, cysga 'mabi tlws
Si hei lwli 'mabi, mae'r llong yn mynd i ffwrdd
Si hei lwli 'mabi, mae'r gwynt o'r dwyrain chwyth
Si fy mabi lwli, mae'r wylan ar ei nyth
Si hei lwli, lwli lws, cysga, cysga 'mabi tlws
Si hei lwli 'mabi, mae'r gwynt o'r dwyrain chwyth
Sleep my lovely baby, the ship is going away,
Sleep my lovely baby, the captain's on board.
Si hei lwli, lwli lws, sleep my pretty child,
Sleep my lovely baby, the ship is going away.
Sleep my lovely baby, the wind's blowing from the east,
Sleep my lovely baby, the seagull's on it's nest.
Si hei lwli, lwli lws, sleep my pretty child,
Sleep my lovely baby, the wind's blowing from the east.
Listen to a recording of this song, made in the cathedral of Oloron-Sainte-Maire in the south west of France in May 2015 and featuring members of Bangor Community Choir and Coastal Voices from Abergele.
