lyrics

LLYGRU [English translation below]

Mae’r cyffro wedi troi yn ddiflas
Y rhyddid wedi gadael blas cas
Dwi’m isho bod yn fyw
Ond dwi ddim isho marw
Dwi’m isho bod yn unig
Ond gad fi lonydd.

Dwi isho mynd adra
Ond dwi’m yn siwr lle di adra
Yn colli darnau o fy mamiaith
Ond methu rili siarad Saesneg yn iawn chwaith

Mae’r ddinas wedi dwyn fy enaid
Mae’r arian ‘di llygru dy galon
Yn casglu ceiniogau i trio dal y fraeddwyd
ond dal i gysgu trwy’r dyddiau hefyd.

BRIDGE
Hunaniaeth
Colli geiriau, colli hanes
Dibyniaeth
Colli’n meddwl a neud llanast.

CHORUS
Gad i’r mynyddoedd glywed fi’n gwaeddi
Gad i’r môr helpu fi feddwi
Mae’r gwin wedi stopio gweithio
Y gwyrdd yn gyrru ni’n wallgo
Dwi’n gwbod dwi’n rhydd yn uchel i fyny
Achos does neb yn fy nghlywed i’n gwaeddi.

Yn mynd i fwy o angladdau
nac i briodasau
byw bywyd ar yr ymyl
ffrindiau’n marw’n ifanc
Dim diolch, dim diogelwch
a da ni ‘di disgyn mewn cariad
efo peidio bod yn ffyddlon
a’r rhyddid o fyw ddydd i ddydd

BRIDGE + CHORUS

Dwi’m isho mynd adra
Rhag ofn i fi ddiflanu
mewn i dwnel o arferion
neu cariad heb angerdd
mae’n haws dilyn fy nhrwyn
heb feddwl am anelu
Jini Me o ni yn yr ysgol feithrin
cambyhafio yw fy swydd llawn amser.

BRIDGE + CHORUS

_____________________

CONTAMINATE

The excitement has turned boring
Freedom has left a nasty taste
I don’t want to be alive
But I don't want to die
I don’t want to be lonely
But leave me alone.

I want to go home
But I'm not sure where that is
I’m losing bits of my mother tongue
but I can't really speak English properly either
The city has stolen my soul
The money contaminated your heart
Collecting pennies to try and catch the dream
but still sleeping through the days as well.

BRIDGE
Identity
Losing words, losing history
Dependency
Lose my mind and make a mess.

CHORUS
Let the mountains hear me shouting
Let the sea get me drunk
The wine has stopped working
Green just drives us crazy
I know I'm free when I’m high up
Because no one hears me shouting.

I go to more funerals
Than weddings
Live life on the edge
Our friends die young
No thanks, no security
and we have fallen in love
with not having to be loyal
and the freedom of living day to day.

BRIDGE + CHORUS

I don’t want to go home
In case I disappear
Into a tunnel of habits
or a love without passion
It's easier to follow my nose
without thinking of aiming
I was Jini Me in nursery school;
misbehaving is my full time job.
