The children of 'Ysgol Gymraeg Treganna' (Treganna Welsh Medium School), Cardiff singing 'Cenwch y Clychau i Dewi' (Ring out the bells for Dewi), official song of the National St. Davids Day Parade, for the first time in public, outside the Mochun Du (Black Pig) Pub, Soffia Gardens, Cardiff, March the First 2007.

Cenwch y Clychau i Dewi

Dewr a doeth ydoedd Dewi
Ei ddwylo yn iacháu
Gwnaeth ef y pethau bychain
Daioni r’oedd e’n hau
(Felly) Dathlwch y dydd i ‘Dewi’
Arwr y Cymry i gyd
Heidiwch i’r cwch fel gwenyn
Ble bynnag yn y byd

Cytgan
Cenwch y clychau i ‘Dewi’
Cenwch nhw mewn coffâd
Cenwch y clychau yn uwch ac yn uwch
Cenwch nhw ar hyd y wlad.

Fflachiodd mellt, gwyllt fel cyllyll
A hollti’r graig yn ddwy
Ar ddydd ei eni’n faban
Dioddef ni fydd mwy.
(Felly) Dathlwch y dydd i ‘Dewi’
Arwr y Cymru’i gyd
Heidiwch i’r cwch fel gwenyn
Ble bynnag yn y byd

Daeth y dorf i Landdewi
Cyn canu’r ceiliog croch
Tir llwm dan draed a gododd
A’i lais yn glir fel cloch
(Felly) Dathlwch y dydd i ‘Dewi’
Arwr y Cymry i gyd
Heidiwch i’r cwch fel gwenyn
Ble bynnag yn y byd

Ring out the bells for St.David

Brave and wise was Saint David
His hands were healing hands
Small deeds were full of goodness
Like seedlings through our lands
So, lift voices high for Saint David
Shout out his name loud and clear
Hero of Welsh men and women
Saint David had no fear.

Chorus
Ring out the bells for Saint David
Ring out across the land
Ring for Saint David, ring, ring, let them ring,
Ring out over sea and sand.
(Last line after chorus repeat - Ring them loud throughout the land)

Lightning flashed, hot like wild knives
And split the rock in two
Clear sign to mark the birthplace
Of David, healer true
So, lift voices high for Saint David
Shout out his name loud and clear
Hero of Welsh men and women
Saint David had no fear.

Thousands came to Llanddewi
Like bees, homewards to hive
His voice rang out like Bangu (Rhymes with Mamgu)
The ground arose, alive.
So lift voices high for Saint David
Shout out his name loud and clear
Hero of Welsh men and women
Saint David had no fear.
