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…
