Down By The
Seaside
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.
Ar Lan y Môr

1. Ar lan y môr mae rhosys chochion
Ar lan y môr mae lilis gwynion
Ar lan y môr mae 'nghariad inne
Yn cysgu'r nos a choddi'r bore.  

2. Ar lan y môr mae carreg wastad
Lle bum yn siarad gair âm cariad
Oddeutu hon fe dyf y lili
Ac ambell sbrigyn o rosmari.  

3. Llawn yw'r môr o swnd a chegryn
Llawn yw'r wy o wyn a melyn
Llawn yw'r coed o ddail a blode
Llawn o gariad merch wyf inne.  

-or-

2.  Oer yw'r rhew ac oer yw'r eira
Oer yw'r ty heb dân yn y gaeaf
Oer yw'r eglwys heb ddim ffeirad
Oer wyf innau heb fy nghariad

3.  Dacw'r ty a dacw'r talcen
Lle ces i nosweithiau llawen
Ar y lloft uwchben y genin
Gyda'r ferch a'r rhuban melyn

4.  Mae gen i fuwch a dau gorn arian
Me gen i fuwch sy'n godro'i hunan
Mae gen fiwch sy'n llanw'r stwcau
Fel mae'r môr yn llanw'r baeau


Down By The Seaside

1. Beside the sea there are red roses
Beside the sea there're lovely lillies
Beside the sea my sweetheart lives
Asleep at night,  awake at morning.  

2. Cold is the frost and cold the snowfall
Cold the house without fire in winter
Cold is the church without a vicar
Cold am I also without my lover.  

3. Yonder's the home, yonder the building
Where I've spent many a happy evening
In the loft there above the kitchen
With the girl with the yellow ribbon.  

4. I've a cow with two horns of silver
I've a cow 'milks herself on her own
I've a cow that fills the pails up
Just like the sea which fills the seashore.
