about

Picture a long room with a long long reverb, impressive marble pillars by grand stone steps, a courtyard that has been given a ceiling of wood and stained glass. Imposing black black statues of the founders of the college, larger than life at each end. A balcony runs around the whole room. People's speaking voices blur into a wave of white noise, footsteps sound enormous.

lyrics

(spoken)
They're coming in
These giant ladies with acres of stone beneath their feet
And between their fingers
Goleudydd a Goleunos
Arglwyddesau'r dawns
Yn plygu corff rhiwfaint
They begin to circle,
so wild and fast
that their names flick away from us
And their spinning hands stir up a swirling palette of colours!
How they circle and how they shake on this stone dancefloor
How they spiral and dip, a hundred times faster than thought
In their fantastical, colourful, indescribable skirts!
And their eyes call in light from air
and their steps call out remembering from the rock..
...Until air and stone have no choice but to dance too
and the room rises like a bellows like a bellows like a bellows...

Ac ryn ni'n hanner cofio hanner cofio, hanner cofio eu henwau ryfedd
yn yr ieithoedd anghysbell a disglair.
