Beth, Wyliedydd, am y nos? Pa rwy argoel boreu sydd? Gwel, yndeithydd, acw dros Ben y bryniau'r seren ddydd! Beth, Wyliedydd, yw ei gwawr, Arwydd amer gwell a ddaw? Gwel, ymdethydd, boreu wawr Yr addewid sydd gerllaw. Beth, Wyliedydd, am y nos? A ddaw'r seren fry i'r làn? Gwel, ymdeithydd, hinion dlos, Hedd a gwir fydd yn y man! Beth, Wyliedydd, a wna clir Belydr hon ymdaenu y'mla'n? Gwel, ymdeithydd, cyn pen hir, Lleinw'r ddaear oll yn lân. Beth, Wyliedydd, am y nos? Onid yw ar dori'r dydd?

What, Watchman, about the night? What portent of the morning is there? See, a traveller, yonder across The top of the hills the day star! What, Watchman, is his dawn, The sign of a better time to come? See, traveller, the morning dawn The promise which is at hand. What, Watchman, about the night? Shall the star above come up? See, traveller, fine weather, Peace there shall truly be soon! What, Watchman, shall make this Clear ray spread onwards? See, Traveller, before long, It will fill the whole earth completely. What, Watchman, about the night? Is the day not about to break? See, traveller, the night vanishes, The great radiance is about to kindle! What, Watchman, cheer thy face, Art thou about to turn to thy cosy home? See, Traveller, the King of peace, Reigning across the world!tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
Watchman, say, what of the night? Is the dawning still afar? Pilgrim, see, so fair and bright, O'er the hills the Morning-Star: Watchman, what denotes its sign? Is it better time for man? Pilgrim, 'tis the dawn Divine Of the everlasting plan. Watchman, say, what of the night? Is it still not nearing day? Pilgrim, night is done! the light Spreads upon its glorious way: Watchman, why departest thou? Why turn home when all is gain? Pilgrim, o'er the wide earth now Comes the Prince of Peace to reign!tr.
