Nepell o'r berllan 'falau... ...Rhagnell sleeps with the little iron key between her teeth... (song) Say I am deep within the blood! Say I am come in every bud! They’re coming to the dance Tell him tell one tell all She shook her fingers aaaah! She shook her feathers aaah! She shook her body aaaah! She shook her petals aaaah! We’re spinning all around We’re leaping up and down The Lady and Green Man The edge where spring began The woman in the flower The nightbird in the nest The spirit in the song The key within the breast. Blodeuwedd, the Lady of the Summer Lands, the Queen of the May

Green Man 06:36
And you breathe down into the wave and the wave rises And you breathe down into the wave and the wave rises rising and falling rising and falling rising Like a bellows Your have held your breath for so long Tell me where you were when I didn't see you When you hold your breath who hold you? You are so quiet Do you breathe your heart out? Do you breathe out hope? Do you breathe out joy? Do you breathe out stone? How can we voyage without you breathing in breathing out and these clouds you exhale from your leafy stone Do you breathe out green leaves? Do you breathe out mist? Do you breathe out joy? One last fragrant breath? I was waiting for that breath you held for so long I was waiting for that breath to fill the sky And you breathe down into the wave and the wave rises And you breathe down into the wave and the wave rises rising and falling rising and falling rising Holding : holding course : holding :

Calan Mai 03:02
I sleep with the iron key between my teeth This morning I woke to find myself covered in white blossom and I remember that today is Calan Mai I am up to my elbows in May blossom Blagur yn ffrwydro Persawr y fan gudd Persawr y fan yng nghalon y blodyn Pwy sy'n hela negeseuon ar Galan Mai? May blossom tumbling the sea in flower red carpet rolled on every side Blossom we are sailing our mayflower voyaging in Calan Mai Mae'r blodyn wastad yn yr almwn Dyma fy mhleser, dyma fy mraint Yn felys ac yn chwerw Adain yn curo curo curo Calan Mai
