hi Tom, I'm not pretending I can speak welsh, knowl ittle bits but this is a a translation: (you were very close with that line!)
You are a thousand times more beautiful than the white rose,
Or the red rose on the brow of the hill,
Or the proud swan swimming the lake,
My little baby.
More charming is your (blessed?) laughter
Than the song of the thrush in the grove,
Or the murmur of the sea from the top of the knoll,
My little baby.
You are more dear than the little white lamb,
Or the pretty flowers on the side of the hill,
Or the dancing of the sunshine on the lake,
My little baby.
A thousand times better than the gold of the world
Is seeing your smiles(?) in your crib,
You are my fortune, and my (blessing?),
My little baby.

Such a lovely song, and a clean clear voice to deliver the beauty. I shed tears too. Music does that.
I was about to say, I love the male voice choirs and have a couple. I love to listen to them singing their beautiful songs.
Which is the Welsh traditional anthem please? I have forgotten. My mother said she suddenly realized she loved music when she heard the Welsh anthem played by the Salvation Army band when she was only 3 years old.

Hi charlotte I will post on welsh anthem for you

Absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately my Welsh isn't up to translating the title - is it something like "You are as beautiful as a white rose"?
