about

Cân Dyffryn Clettwr (Song of the Clettwr Valley)
Discovered in 'Hanes Llandysul' (A History of Llandysul 1896) and originally composed by Edward Rees of Talgarreg, this rare song tells the tale of 'y fab afradlon' - the prodigal son who leaves his 'cynefin' and goes to sea, only to find that life is tough and soon finds he has 'hiraeth' or longing for the comforts of home. Song intro courtesy of William Mathias.

Cân Dyffryn Clettwr
O lyfr ‘Hanes Llandysul’ (1896) ac yn wreiddiol gan Edward Rees, Talgarreg, mae’r gân brin yma yn adrodd stori mab afradlon o Ddyffryn Clettwr sydd yn gadael ei gynefin ac yn mynd i forio – ond i ddarganfod bod bywyd yn anodd ac i hiraethu am ei fro enedigol. Rhagarweiniad y gân William Mathias.

lyrics

Do mi hales amser llawen
Yn yr ysgol yn Llwynrhydowen
Ac wrth ddilyn y pysgotwr
Ar hyd lan yr afon Clettwr

'Rol I'm darfod a'r ysgolion
Troes i mas yn fab afradlon
Ac mi es yn lanc o forwr
Mas o olwg Dyffryn Clettwr

'Rol i'r gwyntoedd i ostegi
A'r geirwon donnau i lonyddu
Cododd cwili' ar y morwr
I ddod nol i Ddyffryn Clettwr

B'um yn rhodio dolydd Aeron
A chofleidio'r merched gwynion
Well o lawer gan y morwr
Lodes lan o Ddyffryn Clettwr
