Geiriau:
Bore'n glasu ar y bryniau,
peintiwr coch yn lliwio'i luniau,
cysgod y gwynt dros y gwenith melyn,
sêr yn chwyrlio mewn gromen y nos.

Cymylau glaw yn dechrau torri,
melin wynt yn dechrau malu,
egni'r haul yn ei dorth o fara,
afalau, caws, grawn a gwin.

Arluniwr ynfyd o'r Isediroedd,
lluniau hardd ar waliau'r byd,
aur yr haul yn ei llygaid glas,
ond fe laddodd ei hunan 'slawer dydd.

Cadair melyn, ffenest ar agor,
mewn cariad mae, ond mae'n dechrau marw,
harddwch y byd sydd yn torri ei galon,
y paentiwr coch a'i gynfas garw.

English Translation:
Blueing morning on the hills,
the red painter colours his paintings,
the shadow of the wind over the yellow wheat,
stars whirl in the night's dome.

Rain clouds start to break,
the windmill starts to fracture,
the sun's energy in his loaf of bread,
apples, cheese, grain and wine.

The troubled artist from the Netherlands,
beautiful pictures on the walls of the world,
the golden sun in his blue eyes,
but he killed himself long ago.

Yellow chair, open window,
he's in love, but he's slowly dying,
the beauty of the world breaks his heart,
the red painter and his rough canvas.
