Geiriau:
‘Di awyrennau’n gwneud dim byd i mi,
dim ond dy weld di a dwi mhell bell i ffwrdd.
Cer â fi i’r un cyfeiriad a dwi’n codi i lle dani’n dau yn cwrdd
ac mae’n ffordd hir lawr pan ti mor bell o’r llawr
ac yn bradu bob awr.

‘Di awyrennau’n gwneud dim byd i mi
dim ond dy weld di a dwi mhell bell i ffwrdd.
Rho rhyw losin melys imi ac fe gei di bob dim sydd ar y bwrdd.
‘Ista, ymlacia, ewn yn rhydd, anghofia dy flinderau am weddill y dydd
ac mae’n ffordd hir lawr pan ti mor bell o’r llawr
ac yn bradu bob awr.

Awyren, trên a cheir a cychod di-ri, falle âi eto, un-waith
o ddod a thi yn nes i mi, o ddod â thi yn nes.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Planes do nothing for me,
I see you and I’m far, far away.
Take me in the same direction and I rise up at the place where we both meet
and it’s a long way down when you’re so far from the ground,
wasting every hour.

Planes do nothing for me,
I see you and I’m far, far away.
Give me a sugary sweet and I’ll give you everything that’s on board.
Sit down, relax, we’ll be free, forget about your cares for the rest of the day
and it’s a long way down when you’re so far from the ground,
wasting every hour.

Planes, trains and cars and boats, I might go again, someday
if it brings you closer to me, if it brings you closer to me.

Geiriau:
Un dydd arall, un cyfle arall i ffeindio’r amser i ‘sgrifennu rhestr,
i groesi un peth mas wedyn ychwanegu rhywbeth arall.
Na’i ware’r gitar am funed ond dyw e byth yn ddigon
a dwi’n gorffen y gân heb ei orffen
ac yn cerdded i’r mailbox — des in gyfarwydd a hwnna.
Gobeithio bydd na ddim dyledion i dalu,
dwi’n ffindo llythyren ac yn agor yr amlen…

Cyfarchion o’r gogledd, pam na ddoi di adref?
Mae Maine yn oer amser yma’r flwyddyn ond na’i cadw’r tân yn llosgi.
Dwi’n gyrru a dwi’n gyrru, tyrd adref…

Dydd Mercher , a mae’r plant yn yr ysgol,
dyma’r diwrnod cyntaf mewn saith mis i mi fod ar ben fy hun
a sai’n really gwybod beth i neud…
Dyma fi’n mynd i siopa. Siopa dim credit yw e, le chi’n prynu pethe wedyn mynd a nhw nôl at y siop.
Sy’n grêt tan i chi sylweddoli faint o wastraff amser yw’ch bywyd i gyd.
Am beth i fi’n disgwl? Am rhywun i alw? Pwy? O le?
‘Wi’n mynd nôl at y car a dwi’n gyrru unrhyw le,

O le i le…. o be i beth?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION/VERSION:
Another day, another chance to find some time to make a list,
to cross one thing out then add another.
I’ll play the guitar for a minute but it’s never enough
and I leave the song unfinished
and I’ll walk to the mailbox — I became familiar with it.
I hope there will be no debts to pay,
I find a letter and open the envelope…

Salutations from the north, why don’t you come home?
Maine is cold this time of year but I’ll keep the fires burning.
I drive and I drive, come home…

It’s Wednesday afternoon and the kids are at school,
this is the first time that I’ve been on my own for several months
and I really don’t know what I can do…
So I shop. For zero credit for all shopping when you buy and return so I buy and I return.
Which is great until you realise what a colossal waste of time your life’s become.
What are you waiting for? Some kind of sign? For somebody to call?
I just get back in my car and I drive it anywhere.

From place to place…from what to what?

Geiriau:
Nawr ti’n dweud bo ti’n gadael
i weld y byd, a gweld y cefnfor maith.
Wnai ddim crio na na, na byth difaru,
dim gofyn lle wyt ti chwaith.

Mae llygad yr haul ar Carolina,
mae’n disgleirio i lawr ar Tupelo.
Na’i ofalu am y deryn a’r gwenyn i gyd
a wnaiff fy meddwl ddim crwydro nôl,
ddim crwydro yn ôl atat ti.

Ac os ddoi o hyd i ti ar ddiwrnod da,
yr awyr yn las, heb neb i gwyno’n gas
yn gadarn a chywir ar ochr y bryn
gydag afon yn ei lli a Luciano y ci.

Os dyna ti moy’n, pacia dy fag,
s’dim angen nodyn, cer at y drws,
‘drycha’ nôl am un tro arall, tro’r golau mas,
cym’ un cam at y chwith ac un arall at y dde
a cherdda i ffwrdd.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION/VERSION:
Now you say that you’re leaving
to see the world and swim the seven seas.
I won’t cry, no, no, nor shed a tear,
nor wish you were here.

The sun always shines on Carolina,
the sun always shines down on Tupelo.
I keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee
and my mind won’t go running back,
won’t go running back to you.

And if I find you on a good day,
skies are blue, no-one to bother you,
steadfast and stern on the mountain side
with a river to run and a dog named Luciano.

And if that’s what you want, pack up your bags,
don’t write a note, walk to the door,
turn ‘round one last time, turn off the lights,
take one step to left and another to the right
and walk away.

Geiriau:
Pam nad wyf fi’n dy gredu pan ti’n dweud dy fod di angen fi?
Ti oedd y cyntaf i gyrraedd fel rhyw Twm Sion Cati ag os ma ‘ngho i’n gweithio o hyd,
ro’ ti’n angel ar y penffordd, ond yn ddiafol ar y pentan, o yn dda ac yn barod
i dynnu pen o’i ysgwyddai a rhoi’r drwg yn y caws.
Be nes ti neud? Be nes ti neud?

Arhosaf ar fy ochr i o’r dref, yn ara deg mae mynd ymhell ,
ond calon wan sy’n dod heb ymdrech a gwydr argyfwng sy’n galw arna i.
Rhoddaf gic a’i chwalu, eofn pawb ar ei domen ei hun.

Pam nad wyf fi’n dy gredu pan ti’n dweud dy fod ti’n caru fi?
Gwell peidio dweud y gair bach, gwell peidio meddwl am y peth
a bydd e byth amharu ar neb.

Mi wn taw bachgen y wlad wyt ti, wel, merch y wlad wyf fi, torra di wallt yn hir.
Dy hyn yn werth dim byd ond fe ddawnsiaf wrth adael y ty…

ENGLISH TRANSLATION/VERSION
Why can’t I believe it when you tell me that you need me?
You were the first to proceed coming on like Twm Sion Cati, now if my memory serves me well,
I found an angel on the highway, made a devil in the home, you came on good, but able
to pull a head from the shoulders, put a spanner in the works.
What have you done? What have you done?

I stay on my side of town, build it up or play it down,
but a weak heart comes without effort and where nobody else is near,
smash the glass in emergency, if your heart has turned to stone.

Why can’t I believe it when you tell me that you love me?
Love’s a four letter word, best left unsaid and unheard
then it will never let you down.

I know you are a country boy but I was a country girl, cut off your long long hair.
This ain’t going nowhere but I might dance when our ship’s set sail…

Geiriau:
Dwy law yn erfyn a mi ges fy hun ar lannau’r afon Nil,
paid edrych lan a phaid edrych i lawr,
o’n i ar goll ac o’n i braidd ar ddi-hun.

Galwodd rhywun am ambiwlans, clywes i’r rhybydd yn uchel a’n glir,
a phlymiais i mewn i’r dwr yn ddwfn ac anelu am y ffin.

Dyw e ddim mor anodd i arnofio gyda’r llif
pan wyt ti ynghanol breuddwydion hâf neu canol dydd.

Mae angen llong ar Gapten er mewn morio drwy dywydd gwael,
mae angen awel ar longwr er mwyn hwylio o lan i lan.
Mae blodau’r Delta’n tyfi’n hadau mae’r gwair yn tyfu’n wyllt
ond ei di fyth i’r nefoedd os arhosi d’in rhy hir os mynni di fyw am byth.

Mae angen rhoi’r ffidil yn y to, gwnest dy wely, meddai’r Capten.
Ond allai ddim gwneud hyn a ni alla’i wneud y llall os dwi yn gaeth yn Argae Aswann.

Paid edrych lan a phaid edrych i lawr, paid gwneud hwna a phaid gwneud y llall.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION/VERSION:
A leap of faith and I find myself on the banks of the river Nile,
don’t look up and don’t look down,
I was lost and I was hardly awake.

Someone called an ambulance; I heard the siren loud and clear
so I dived into the water deep and I aim for the frontier.

It’s not so hard to float down the stream
when you’re stuck in the middle of a summer dream.

A Captain needs a ship if he’s gonna navigate the storm,
a boatman needs a wind if he’s gonna sail from shore to shore.
The Delta flowers grow to seed and the grass gets overgrown,
I wanna live forever but you’ll never get to heaven if you live too long.

The Captain said, now you’ve made your bed now it’s time to settle down.
But you can’t do this and you can’t do that if you’re stuck in the Aswan dam.

Don’t look up and don’t look down, don’t do this and don’t do that.

Lle buodd rhai doeth yn teithio, fel ffyliaid y crwydron ni ymhell o lannau Edisto.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Someone like me, someone like you.
One late November and early one December.
We planned the journey with our clothing
without thinking it through where we might arrive.
Where once were wise ones travelling, like fools we wandered far from the shores of Edisto.

Ag wrth blygiad y bedol

Trown ein ceffylau tuag adref,

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Give us a song, Elen,
long hours I have spent working,
in distant places I have been wandering,
over hill and dale.

Sing us a song of praise
until the dawn comes to take us back to the land.
Sing us a song of praise
until the night comes to an end and the sun shines above.

And at the folding of the horseshoe
there is a direction to the galloping.
We’ll turn our horses homeward,
and have shelter and fire.

Sing us a song of praise
until the dawn comes to take us back to the land.
Sing us a song of praise
until the night comes to an end and the sun shines above.

Sing us a song of praise
until the dawn comes to take us back to the land.
Sing us a song of praise
until the night comes to an end and the sun shines above.

Geiriau:
Daeth Lleuad Gwener yn rhy gynnar,
fe syrthiais i a gwrthod yn hyn oedd ddim gen i.
Rhyw gynllun gwael, y gwely’n oer, aros yn hwyr a gwylio ryw sothach ar y teledu.
Am galon lân fy nhim fy hun, am fwy o gariad a llai o siarad gwan.
Rhyw gynllun oer, rhy gyflym o hyd, aros yn gwely a gwylio rhaglenni gwag.

O hyd ac o hyd yn aros am y dyddiau da,
o hyd ac o hyd yn aros am hwyl gwell na hyn.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION/VERSION:
Friday’s moon came too soon,
I fell in love and turned down things I shouldn’t have.
A bad design, stayed in bed, stayed up late, and watched things that don’t give much.
For a pure heart of my own, for a lot of love and a little less conversation.
A bad design, moved too fast, stayed in bed and watched things that don’t give much.

All this time, waiting for the good days,
all this time, waiting for a life that’s better than this.

You bring on the new sensation, oh Evelyn.

Through the trees, surely she found her way,
through the leaves, slowly turned it on again.
There’s no gun at your back to threaten you now;
there’s not art in killing, just killing time, fighting the death of a fire of heart and mind,
so I looked at the sun and watched it glow…

Evelyn, Evelyn…
You bring on the new sensation, oh Evelyn.

Geiriau:
Mor ddu â’r môr ar brynhawn ystormus,
yn corddi fel corwynt, yn dy ymyl fe gerddais.
A sôn am forladron, mewn trefydd newydd, morwyr suddedig a llygaid alaeth
ac fe gerddais yn dy ymyl nes imi beidio, nes imi beidio clywed dy lais.

Orenau i Florida, blodau i Amsterdam,
gwnaiff dydd o dristwch arall ddim ‘yn helpu deall pam.
Bydd diwrnod arall o ymladd ddim yn trochi’r eira,
orenau i Florida a moroedd i Galilea.

Mae’n rhwydd cymysgu anrhefn gyda’r bai, a ‘da’ni’n gwneud,
mae’n rhwydd beirniadu ar ol rhoi gorau i drio a da ni’n gwneud.
Mae cariad ym mhob maddeuant, ynysoedd colledig yn arnofio ymhell o’r lan,
milltiroedd a milltiroedd yn arnofio i rywle yn dweud rywbeth ond mae’r ystyr ar goll i fi nawr.

Orenau i Florida, blodau  i Amsterdam,
gwnaiff dydd o dristwch arall ddim ‘yn helpu deall pam.
Diwrnod arall o frwydro a’n cartref newydd yn fflam,
orenau i Florida a blodau i Amsterdam.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Black as the ocean on a stormy afternoon,
churning like a hurricane, by your side I walked.
You talk of dirty sailors on a sunken city, sunken cities and sunken eyes
and I walked beside you and I drifted ‘til I heard you no more.

Oranges to Florida, flowers to Amsterdam,
another day of sorry, it won’t make me understand.
Another day of fighting, it won’t leave me on my knees,
it’s oranges to Florida and flowers to Galilea.

It’s easy to add chaos to the blame and we do,
its easy to critcise once you’ve stopped trying and we do.
There’s love in every pardon, lost direction floating islands far from shore,
mile upon mile floating somewhere saying something but it’s all lost on me.

Oranges to Florida, flowers to Amsterdam,
another day of sorry, it won’t make me understand.
Another day of fighting, our new home aflame,
it’s oranges to Florida and flowers to Amsterdam.

Geiriau:
“Dwi’n gwastraffu oriau ag oriau ag oriau
yn syllu ar wynebau perffaith cylchgronnau
yn esgus taw’r ffasiynau sydd ore…”

Ar hyd y nos, ar hyd y nos a breuddwyd y crëyr.

Fe ddihunodd y crëyr yn dyheu am goffi,
roedd e hanner ffordd adre felly arhosodd am sbel
i brynu cylchgrawn, i wybod popeth wrth ddarllen ei gylchgrawn.

Ac fe ddaeth hi fewn fel corwynt o egni,
yn goesau diderfyn a’n sodlau i gyd —
am beth wyt ti’n chwilio? Mae bob dim yma’n fy myd.

Dyweda be ti moyn pam ti ar bigau’r drain?
Gad i fi ddwyn y dagrau o dy lygaid.
Ti’n licio swn gitar wrth i ti grwydro mhob man,
wyt ti ‘di bod i’r Parthenon? ‘ti ‘di bod i India? ‘ti ‘di bod i Manchester?
Ond âi’r gadael fynd yw’r hyn sy’n bwysig?

“Dwi’n gwastraffu oriau ag oriau ag oriau
yn syllu ar wynebau perffaith cylchgronnau
yn esgus taw’r ffasiynau sydd ore…”

Nawr dy fod di’n addo’r cwbl i fi,
meddianna’ fi, am i fi brofi blas dy addewid,
ond Duw nid oes benadur.

Fe wedoedd y crëyr, dy fod yn y man iawn.
Ti’n licio swn gitar wrth i ti grwydro pob man,
wyt ti ‘di bod i’r Parthenon? ‘ti ‘di bod i Africa? Wyt ti ‘di clywed am Salif Keita?
‘ti di bod ar afon y Seine, a clywed y diafol yn gwaith Skip James?
Ond âi’r gadael fynd yw’r hyn sy’n bwysig?

“Dwi’n gwastraffu oriau ag oriau ag oriau
yn syllu ar wynebau perffaith cylchgronnau…”

Dwi ddim am godi gwrychyn ond mae’n ffordd rhyfedd i fynd
â’r drws gorau yw’r un sy’n dy gau allan fel y gwynt.
Cana’r record ac efallai fe ddywedi di riau,
fel hen benillion ond y gwir sydd orau.

Fe ddisgleiria’r haul yn y gornel dywylla’,
rhaid gwneud y pethau pwysig yn y fagddu weithiau.
A dim diwedd i’r ddefod - na phrin oni bydd angen
ond diawch ferch ti’n gwneud i fi ganu fel hen gytgan.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION/VERSION:
“I’ve wasted hours and hours and hours
staring at the perfect faces of the magazines,
playing as though its for the dresses and the jeans…”

All night long, all night long and the heron’s dream.

The heron woke with a mean thirst for coffee,
he was half way there so he stopped
for a magazine, then anything he could from everything he found to read.

In she walked with a perpetual appeal,
all legs and heels —
what are you looking for? You’ve got everything you need.

Tell me what you want, why are you restless?
Let me take the sorrow from those eyes.
You like the sound of a guitar playing wherever you are,
ever been to the Parthenon? Ever been to India? Ever been to Manchester?
Ain’t it the letting go that really matters?

“I’ve wasted hours and hours and hours
staring at the perfect faces of the magazines,
playing as though its for the dresses and the jeans…”

Now that you’re promising me the world,
take me so I can taste its promise for real,
I want to know exactly how it feels.

The heron said, you’re in the right place.
You like the sound of a guitar playing wherever you are,
ever been to the Parthenon? Ever been to Africa? Ever heard of Salif Keita?
Ever been on the river Seine, and heard the devil and the work of Skip James?
Ain’t it the letting go that really matters?

“I’ve wasted hours and hours and hours
staring at the perfect faces of the magazines…”

I’m not being funny but it’s an odd way out,
and the best door is the one that closes you out like the wind.
Put a record on maybe, I’m sweet-talking you,
words fly like an old song but the truth is best.

What happens in the dark will always come to light,
and we do everything we hope for in the dead of the night.
When we go marching in with some perceptual emotion
but damn it girl you’ll make me dance like an old song.

Arlington Way, syniad pwy oedd e anyway,
i aros y nos, treulio’r nos, heb un co’.
Unwaith mewn bywyd daw ‘na freuddwyd yn wir,
mi fyddai’n cerdded gyda ti yn ysgafn fy ngham a lliwiau ‘mhob man
a by ni’n camu mewn drwy’r drws.

Arlington Way, cer lawr i’r lle, na fe os ti isie
sa’i byth angen dallt dy fusnes, dim ystryw i mi, dwi’n iawn ar fy hun

Swllt yn syrthio ar y pafin, ac yn troelli yn y man,
sa’i byth yn gwybod beth i ddymuno-pen?, ti’n gweld taw (cynffon)… ti yw’r un.

Unwaith mewn bywyd daw ‘na freuddwyd yn wir,
mi fyddai’n cerdded mewn da ti, gyda chalon yn curo a dyddiau da i’w cofio
a by ni’n aros mas tan hwyr.

Wnaeth neb ddweud y byddai’n hawdd,
neb i ddweud na ellid ei wneud,
neb i ddweud y byddai’n teimlo mor naturiol.

Sa’i byth angen dallt dy fusnes, dim ystryw i mi, dwi’n iawn ar fy hun
 ond doedd ‘na neb oedd gystal â thi.
Nes ti ddod a dweud fod ‘na lot mwy i’w wneud nac a wyddwn i,
but it’s not the same… it’s not the same,
a na’i byth bod mor ffôl ond does dim amser nawr ar ôl.

Wnaeth neb ddweud y byddai’n hawdd, naeth neb dweud na ellid ei wneud,
neb i ddweud y byddai’n teimlo mor naturiol.

ENGLISH VERSION LYRICS/TRANSLATION:
Arlington Way whose idea was it anyway
to stay the night, out of sight out of mind.
Once in a lifetime a dream must come true,
 I’d be heading there with you with a spring in the step and a lightness of being
and we’d be walking in the door.

Arlington Way, go down to the place do it if you want to —
I don’t need to know your business, no plan of attack, no turning back,
nobody did it quite as good as you.
 
A coin falls to the dance floor it shines in the bright light,
uncertain what I wish for heads, you know that (tails)…I want you back.

Once in a lifetime a dream must come true,
 I’d be standing there with you with a beat in the heart and a mind on the good times
 and you’d be holding out for more.

Nobody said it would be easy,
nobody said it couldn’t come true,
nobody said it could feel so natural.

I don’t need to know your business, no plan of attack,no turning back,
 nobody did it quite as good as you.
You came, you saw you offered me more than I could take,
I won’t make the same mistake again but this ain’t time for the heavy.

Nobody said it would be easy,
nobody said it couldn’t come true,
nobody said it could feel so natural.
