Pan fo’n gyfnewid tywydd;
Hi hed yn deg ar
O’r mor i ben y mynydd.
234 Fe neidia’r
Rhwng gwynt a thywydd garw;
Hi dro’i phen-ol tuag at y gwres,
235 Pan welir moel y Caera’
Yn gwisgo cap y bora’;
Ond odid fawr cyn haner dydd,
Bydd ar ei grudd hi ddagra.’
236 Pan glywer y mor yn crochlefain yn flin,
A’r cwmwl yn dew dros ben Castell Penllin;
Os gwir y ddiareb, mae cawod o wlaw
Yn magu’n yr wybren, a’i syrthiad gerllaw.
Translated by lolo Morganwg.
When the hoarse waves of Sevem are screaming aloud,
And Penlline’s lofty Castle’s involved in a cloud;
If true the old proverb, a shower of rain
Is brooding above, and will soon drench the plain.
237 Pan fyddo Mynydd Caera’
A’i gap yn cuddo’i gopa;
O niwlyn tew, am hyny taw –
Mae ynddi wlaw mi brwfa.
