^
Dan y dwr, taweluch sydd             Beneath the waters, it is silent
^
Dan y dwr, galwaf i                  Beneath the waters, I call you
^
Nid yw'r swm gyda fi                 There is no company with me.


^
Dan y dwr, taweluch an byth          Beneath the waters, silence for ever,
^
Dan y dwr, galwaf i                  Beneath the waters, I call you.
^
Nid yw'r swm ddim fwy gyda fi.       The sound is no longer with me.


"Beneath the waters... the village Capel Celyn. This village in Wales was submerged, against much protest and struggle by its inhabitants, in order to accomodate a resevoir. This is a lament for the loss of Capel Celyn, memories now held beneath the water." (From the liner notes on the re-release of _The Celts_)
