Canwyd gan/ Sung by: Arfon Gwilym Llun gan/ Photograph by: John Pocklington Mae rhai wedi awgrymu fod y gân yn sôn am Owain Glyndwr. Casgliwyd y pennill cyntaf yn Lanidloes; cyfansoddwyd y pennillion eraill gan Cynan. Cyfansoddwyd penillion ychwanegol i’r gan hon hefyd gan Enid Parry (gweler ‘Caneuon Traddodiadol y Cymry’); a cheir fersiwn wahanol eto gan Myrddin ap Dafydd, ‘Mawl yr Hedydd’. The skylark has died up on the mountain, and an army is needed to bring his body back home – a veiled reference, some suggest, to Owain Glyndwr. Only verse 1 is traditional, and was collected in Llanidloes. The other verses are by Albert Evans Jones, better known as Cynan. Extra verses for this song were also composed by Enid Parry (see ‘Traditional Siongs of the Welsh’); and yet another version has been composed recently by Myrddin ap Dafydd, ‘Mawl yr Hedydd’.
