| dyro gan i ni elen | give us this time |
| oriau maith y bum yn gweithio | long hours I worked |
| llefydd pell y bum yn crwydro | far away places I wandered |
| dros fynydd a dol | over mountain and doll |
| cana fan o fawl i ni | give us a spot of praise |
| tan ddaw’r wawr i’n tynnu yn ol at y tir | until dawn brings us back to the land |
| cana gan o fawl i ni | sing to us praise |
| tan ddaw’r nos i derfyn a’r heulwen fry | until the night is over and the sunshine is over |
| ag wrth blygiad y bedol | with the horseshoe fold |
| ceir cyfeiriad i’r carlamu | there is a reference to the galloping |
| trown ein ceffylau tuag adref | we turn our horses home |
| cawn gysgod a than | we get shelter and fire |
