I have an English translation of a Welsh song -- it's all translated,
that is, except the refrain. There's a note saying it has "many
possible translations". Could someone give me an idea of what the
words might mean? Even a word-by-word list of possibilities would be
greatly appreciated. Here's the first verse (the line in question is
the last one). Thanks, very much. --Scott Brim
Now strike the harp gladly, let music resound,
To cheer all the true hearts here gather'd around,
No word of contention shall sully our joy.
No thought of dull care our contentment destroy.
Here patriots may loudly rejoice to be free,
And Cambrians to Cambria vow faithful to be,
Mewn Awen fwyn lawen byw byth y bo hi.
