lyrics

Midwyf Daliesin
I have the shining brow
Eilwaith ym rithad
Bum glas, bum gleisad
Bum ci, bum hud
Bum iwrch y mynydd
Bum cyff, a bum rhaw
Bum bwell yn llaw
Bum ebill gefel
flwyddyn a hanner
Bum ceilawg brithwyn
ar ieir yn eddrin
Bum amws ar re
Bum tarw trostre
Bum rwch melinawr
mal y maethawr

Am harfolles iar
grafudd, grib escar
Gorffwyseis naw nos,
yn i chroth yn was.
Bum cleddyf yn anghad
Bum ysgwyd ynghad.
Bum tant yn helyn
lledrith naw blwyddyn.
Yn wfr bum ewyn
Bum yspwng yn han
Nid un wyf ni gan
Midwyf Daliesin
Midwyf Daliesin
Midwyf Daliesin
Midwyf Daliesin

TRANSLATION
I am Taliesin
I am Taliesin
A second time I was enchanted
I was a kingfisher, I was a young salmon
I was a hound, I was a hind
I was a buck on the mountain
I was a butt, and I was a spade
I was a hatchet in the hand
I was the pin of tongs
For a year and a half
I was a light - speckled cock
over cackling hens.
I was the stallion of a stud
I was the bull of a homestead
I was the miller's bolter.

There received a hen
ruddy clawed, with a divided comb.
I rested nine nights
In her womb a child
I was a sword in the handgrip
I was a shield in battle
I was a string in the harp of
enchantment for nine years.
In water I was the spume.
I was a sponge in the fire.
I am not one who does not sing.
I am Taliesin
I am Taliesin
I am Taliesin
I am Taliesin
