Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy‘n dynn amdanat,
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
Ni chaiff dim amharu‘th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna‘n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
Huna‘n fwyn ar fron dy fam.
Huna‘n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna‘n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu‘n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy‘n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu‘n llon,
Tithau‘n gwenu‘n ôl dan huno,
Huno‘n dawel ar fy mron
Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena’n dawel yn fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.
Sleep child on my bosom
Cosy and warm it is;
Mother’s arms are tight around you,
Mother’s love fills my breast.
Nothing can trouble your slumber,
No man will cross you;
Sleep quietly, dear child,
Sleep sweetly on your mother’s breast.
Sleep quietly, tonight, sleep;
Sleep sweetly, the prettiest picture;
Why are you now smiling,
Smiling softly in your sleep?
Are angels above smiling
On you, smiling joyfully,
You smiling back in sleep,
Quiet sleep on my breast?
Do not fear, nothing but a leaf
Knocks, knocks on the door;
Do not fear, a small lonely wave
Murmurs, murmurs on the seashore.
Sleep child, there’s nothing here
Nothing to give you a fright;
Smile quietly on my bosom
At yonder angels white.
