about

Written on the back of a jeep going through the the jungle of Lao in 2002.
Overwhelmed by hiraeth for my magical home and the beauty of the place that I was in.

lyrics

As futher away I travel from home,
From friends and family and places I know,
I find I am torn in the choices I make,
To leave is so hard but to stay a mistake.

And I know in my heart that I must go away,
And I know in my heart that I’ll come home some day,
Back to the loved ones I have left behind,
And I know in my heart that they really don’t mind.

Mae fy nghalon yn hiraethu am gwlad fy Mam,
Am cany mor a swn y don,
Am calon a chariad a golau’r byd,
Am awyr a harddwch a’r llefydd hyd.

A rwyn gwbod y rhyw ddydd fi ddoe yn ol,
I gerdded mewn ysbryd dros bryn a ddol,
I wella fy nghalon a gweled y tir,
A teimlo henaint y llefydd mor hyd.

Rwyn meddwl am gerdded ar hyd y glannau,
A wynebay y rhai sy’n aros amdan a’i,
Yn gwlad y beirdd o Gymru fyd!
Sy’n llawn o nerth y bobol hyd.

A rwyn gwbod y rhyw ddydd fi ddoe yn ol,
I gerdded mewn ysbryd dros bryn a ddol,
I wella fy nghalon a gweled y tir,
A teimlo henaint y llefydd mor hyd.

And I know in my heart that I must go away,
And I know in my heart that I’ll come home some day,
Back to the loved ones I have left behind,
And I know in my heart that they really don’t mind.

Catrin O'Neill Aberdyfi, UK

Catrin O'Neill grew up by the sea in Aberdyfi,  in Snowdonia, surrounded by a wealth of traditional Welsh music and culture. Her Nain, was one of the first to introduce her to the magic of traditional folk songs, often sung in the kitchen beside the warm Aga with a cup of tea in hand.
It is her humour and ability to tell a story, that really set her aside from other folk singers. ... more
