lyrics

RHOSYN ROJAVA (rhan 1)

Mae dy syniadau chwyldroadol
Yn annwyl I mi
Gad ni ladd y gwryw gormesol
Ynom ni
Ni yw y perygl
A ni yw y gobaith
Ac er mwyn adeiladu gwell
Anhreg yw’r feiriniadaeth
Ni yw y gelyn
A ni yw y chwyldro
A chwyldro yw newid
Ynom ni mae’r goriad a’r clo

Edrych yn dy galon / a gweld sud ti’n wahanol
Mae nhw di dysgu ni i gystadlu / yn y gymdeithas gyfalafol

Gwlad, Gwlad
Amheugar wyf o’m gwlad (x 2)

Er dwi’n coelio mewn annibyniaeth
Ag yn yr hawl I gadw ein hunaniaeth
Does dim siawns o berswadio cyfalafiaeth
I beidio ehangu a tyfu tu allan I Gymru
Dim mwy na mae siawns o berswadio ni
I stopio anadlu neu brwydro am ein rhyddid

Gwlad, Gwlad
Gobeithiol wyf o’m gwlad (x 2)

Ond dydi creu ffiniau newydd
Ddim am atal y llifogydd
Mae’r blaned yn llosgi, mae pawb yn tagu
Ond mae’r syniadau ‘ma yn gryf yn ein calonau.

Gwlad, Gwlad
Pleidiol wyf I’m gwlad
Rhyddid, rhyddid
Ymlaen awn ni I’r gad.

----------------------

(The repeating bit that goes “Gwlad, gwlad” is a play on words/tune of the Welsh National Anthem. It sounds weird in English, to repeat “country” when it’s such an imperial thing for a dominant country like Britain. Hope that gives it more context.

This song (part 1 and 2) is essentialy about looking at revolutionary ideas that come from Rojava in Kurdistan, and using them to inspire the Welsh independence movement. I am supportive of the Welsh independence movement, because we need to leave Westminster rule behind – however, that is not the end goal, or my main goal – anti-capitalism is much more important for the future of the planet and all repressed cultures across the world.)


ROJAVA’S ROSE (part 1)
Your revolutionary idea, are dear to me
Lets kill the oppressive male
that lives in each of us
We are the danger
And we are the hope
And for the sake of building better
Criticism is a gift
We are the enemy
And we are the revolution
And revolution is change
In us lies both the key and the lock

Look in your heart / and see if you are different
They have taught us to compete / in this capitalist society
Country, Country I am suspicious of my country (x 2)

Although I believe in (Welsh) independence
and in the right for us to keep our identity
There is no chance of persuading capitalism
Not to expand and grow outside Wales
No more than there is a chance to persuade us
To stop breathing or to stop fight for our freedom

Country, Country
I'm hopeful of my country (x 2)

But it's not about creating new boundaries
Not wanting to stop the flood
The planet is burning, everyone is choking
But these ideas are strong in our hearts.

Country, Country I'm a partisan country
Freedom, freedom We go on to battle.
