Deffrwch Cymry cysgld gwlad y gan
Dwfn ywÂ’r gwendid
Bychan yw y fflam
Creulon ywÂ’r cynhaeaf
Ond per ywÂ’r don
‘Da’ alaw’r alarch unig
yn fy mron
Everyday when I wake up
I thank the lord IÂ’m Welsh
Gwledd o fedd gynhyrfodd Gymraes swil
Darganfyddais gwir baradwys Rhyl
Everyday when I wake up
I thank the lord IÂ’m Welsh

(English translation)
Awaken sleepy Wales, land of song
Deep is the weakness, small is the flame
Cruel is the harvest, but fair is the tune
With the song of the lonely swan in my heart

Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh

A feast of mead invigourated a shy Welshwoman
I discovered the true paradise of Rhyl

Every day when I wake up I thank the lord I'm Welsh

Awaken sleepy Wales, land of song
Deep is the weakness, small is the flame
