Geiriau/Lyrics (translation below)
Yr un hen haul sy’n crwydro mewn i’n dyffryn gyda'r wawr
Taflu’r hen batrymau ar y tir
Ond y bore hon na welsom byth o blaen nac erioed
A be welwn erbyn swper pwy a wyr?
O mae na bryder un ein gwlad or teras llechu i’r cymmau glô
A newid ddaw os dymunwn hi nai beidio
Ond er gweithaf gyd a ddaw, rhwng y machlud ac y wawr
Rhoddaist i mi’r nerth, rhodaist i mi’r nerth
I beidio ildio

Yr un hen wynebau sy’n gwenu arna i
Pob tro rwyf yn cerdded lawr y stryd
Ac er na fedra i rhoi pob un enw I bob un
Yn fama bydd cymdeithas ni o hyd
O ni all pob un tafod cytuno ar bob dim
A mae na rai pontydd i losgi rhai i groesi
O mae na llwybrau pell I fynd, ond cofia di fy ffrind
Rydan ni o hyd, rydan ni o hyd
Yn goroesi

Rwyn rhoi fy sgidia cadarn mlaen a camu’n mlaen a camu’n mlaen
Rwyn rhoi fy sgidia cadarn mlaen a camu’n mlaen
Rwyn rhoi fy sgidia cadarn mlaen a camu’n mlaen a camu’n mlaen
Rhoi fy sgidia cadarn mlaen a camu’n mlaen

Yr un hen alawon sydd heno ar fy nhaeth
Cymrodyr ffyddlon cyson yw o hyd
Ac er ddued y fagddu, trwy oriau dwys y nos
Ddaw eto bore gwyn a golau’r dydd
Mae na bryder yn ein gwlad
Or bannau ucha i’r lannau mor
A newid ddaw, dim cwestiwn nawr, mi fydd
Ond er bo’r allt yn serth
Gyda’n gilydd genym nerth
Cofio hyn sy rhaid. Cofia hyn ma rhaid
Cadw'r ffydd. Cadw Ffydd.

It is the same old sun creeps into our valley at sunrise
Throwing familiar patterns on the land
But this morning we have not see before
And what we'll see by teatime who can say?
There's a trouble in this land from the slate terrace to the coal valleys
And change will come whether we wish it or not
But for all that will come, between the sunset and the dawn
You give me the strength not to give up

It's the same old faces that smile my way
Every time I walk down the street
And although I can't put a name to each one
Here will forever be our community
Not every tongue can agree on everything
And there are some bridges to burn some to cross
Oh there are long ways to go, but remember my friend
We are forever surviving

I put my sturdy shoes on and step forward and step forward
I put my sturdy shoes on and step forward
I put my sturdy shoes on and step forward and step forward
Put my sturdy shoes on and step forward

The same old tunes are with me tonight on my journey
Faithful comrades, constant and faithful
And despite the darkness, through the intense hours of night
Comes again fresh morning and daylight
There is concern in our country
From the highest peaks to the shores of the sea
And change will come, no question now, it will
But though the hill is steep
Together we have strength
Remembering this is a must. Remember this you must
Keep the faith. Keeping Faith
