A ei di’r deryn du
to my dearest love?
o cais fy nghangen gu -
for I’m so deep in love.

Ni welaf yn un man
such a damsel in my sight
â´r ferch mor lân o liw.
She is a beauty bright

Mae´i gwallt yn felyn aur
just like a ring of gold
a´i phryd fel eira gwyn -
the truth it must be told.

Blackbird, will you go
to my dearest love?
oh seek my fair girl
for I’m so deep in love

I haven´t beheld anywhere
such a damsel in my sight
as the girl that´s of such a pure colour.
She is a beauty bright

Her hair is yellow gold
just like a ring of gold
and her face is like white snow -
the truth it must be told.
