lyrics

RHOSYN ROJAVA (Rhan 2)

Rhosyn Rojava’n atgoffa ni
Pa mor brydferth fysa’r byd os ‘sa ni’n rhydd
Heb y difrod ecolegol
Heb y system batriarchaidd
Mae gena i obaith
Fod Y dyfodol ar ei ffordd
‘Da ni dal I blanu hadau am yfory
Dwi dal i goelio yn y harddwch yn y byd ‘ma.

CHORUS
Rhosyn Brydferth yn byw ar bigau’r drain
Rhosyn Rojava yn ymladd ac arwain
A Coch yw y gwaed sy’n llifo,
Coch yw y seren ar y fflag sydd yn fflio
Dros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed
Ond mae’r fraeddwyd yn dal I symyd yn ei flaen.

Tra bod dyn yn domineiddio dros y ferch
A tra bod yr hyn yn meddwl fod nhw’n gwybod gwell
A tra bod un ras neu crefydd
Yn mwy pwerus a gorthrymu y rest
Does dim gobaith am heddwch neu am wella
Mae angen balans mewn natur
A syniadau newydd i adeiladu
Iwtopia; Cymru fach – braeddwydion mawr
Rhaid edrych yn bellach na’r ffin i guro’r cawr.

We didn’t want to put up a fence
But in a violent world we needed self-defence
And a flower only blooms in the right conditions
And these fascists they are full of cruel restrictions.

Ni Yw Y Gelyn / Ni Yw y Chwyldro
A chwyldro ydi newidd / ynom ni mae’r goriad a’r clo.

__________________________

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 reminds us
How beautiful the world could be if we were free
Without the ecological damage
Without the patriarchal system
I have hope
That the future is still on its way
We still plant seeds for tomorrow
I still believe in the beauty in this world.

CHORUS
Beautiful Rose, living in suspense
Rojava’s rose fighting and leading us
Red is the blood that was spilt,
Red is the star on the flag they fly,
For freedom they lost their blood
But the dream is still moving forward.

While men dominate over women
And while those older think that they know better
And while there is one race or religion
More powerful, which oppresses the rest
There is no hope for peace or healing
Balance is needed in nature
We need new ideas to build Utopia;
Small Wales - big dreams
We need to look beyond the border to beat the giant.

We didn’t want to put up a fence
But in a violent world we needed self-defence
And a flower only blooms in the right conditions
And these fascists they are full of cruel restrictions.

We Are The Enemy / We Are the Revolution
And revolution is change / in us lies both the key and the lock.
