Barddoniaeth y Storom/Storm Poetry

Dynion dewr y Cyngor yn sefyll fel Neifion da'i ffyrch,

Meistres y môr yn chwerthin arnynt,

ac yn chwibanu fel blaidd yn y gwynt.  

Sŵn llais y bos yn torri ar ei clyw

"Dewch 'nôl i'r depot bois bach

Mae'r llywodraeth yn wneud toriadau syth bin

Gadewch i'r llanw ddod mewn

Ni aiff e ddim mas"

Pobol gyffredin sy'n dioddef

Rhaniadau, colledion di-ri!

Nawr a wnewch chi gredu

Fod y ddaear fam yn dial arnom ni!







Brave Council workers standing like Neptune with their forks.

The Mistress of the Sea laughing at them,

Wolf whistling in the wind. 

The Boss's voice comes over the radio

"Come back to the depot my boys

The Government have made immediate cuts

The tide will come in but not go out."

Ordinary people are those that suffer

With losses and divided

Now will you believe that Mother Earth

Is wreaking her revenge on us.
