Bells Of
Aberdovey
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!
!

Choose your destiny.
Clychau Aberdyfi

1. Os wyt ti yn bur i mi,
Fel rwyf fi yn bur i ti,
Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Meddai clychau Aberdyfi.
Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech, saith,
Mal un, dau tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Meddai clychau Aberdyfi.
Hoff gan fab yw meddu serch,
Y ferch mae am briodi,,
Hoff gen innau ym mhob man
Am Morfydd Aberdyfi.
Os wyt ti'n fy ngharu i,
Fel rwyf i'n dy garu di,
Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Meddai clychau Aberdyfi.

2. Pan ddôf adref dros y môr,,
Cariad gura wrth dy ddôr;
Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Meddai clychau Aberdyfi.
Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Meddai clychau Aberdyfi.
Paid â'i wneud yn galon wan
Pan ddaw o dan dy faner,
Os bydd gennyt air i'w ddweud
Bydd gwneud yn well o'r hanner;
Os wyt ti'n fy ngharu i,
Fel rwyf fi'n dy garu di,
Mal un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech,
Meddai clychau Aberdyfi.


Bells Of Aberdovey

1. If to me you can be true,
Just as true as I to you,
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Sing the Bells of Aberdovey.
One, two, three, four, five and six
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Sing the bells of Aberdovey.
Boys do love to be in love,
And girls do love to marry.
But my love's for only one,
For Bess of Aberdovey.
If your love is just as true
As this love I have for you,
It's one, two, three, four, five and six,
From the bells of Aberdovey.

2. Bold with love I'm back once more
Just to camp against your door.
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Sing the Bells of Aberdovey.
One, two, three, four, five and six
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Sing the bells of Aberdovey.
Here's and end to all faint hearts,
Till truth it is you're pleading.
If you just meet be half way,
It will be all I'm needing.
If your love is half as true
As this love I have for you,
It's one, two, three, four, five and six,
From the bells of Aberdovey.

-or-

2.  When I cross the sea once more
Love comes knocking at my door
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Say the Bells of Aberdovey.
One, two, three, four, five and six
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Say the bells of Aberdovey.
Little loves and hopes shall fly
Around us in a covey,
When we're married you and I
At home in Aberdovey
If to me as true thou art,
As I'm true to thee, sweetheart
It's one, two, three, four, five and six
Say the Bells of Aberdovey.
