A Song of Gwallawg I

En enw gwledic nef goludawc.
Y drefynt biewyd gyneil uoawc.
Eiric y rethgreu riedawc.
Rieu ryfelgar gewheruawc.
Ef differth aduwyn llan lleenawc.
Torhyt vn hwch ardwyawc.
Hir dychyferudein.
O brydein gofein.
O berth maw ac eidin.
Ny chymeryn kyuerbyn.
Kyweith kyweithyd clytwyn.
Digonwyf digones lyghes.
O beleidyr o bleigheit prenwres.
Prenyal yw y pawb y trachrwres.
Aghyfnent o gadeu digones
Gwallawc gwell gwyd nwyt noc arthles.
Kat yr agathes o achles
Gwawt gognaw y brot digones.
Kat ymro vretrwyn trwy wres
Mawr tan. meidrawl yw y trachwres.
Kat yr ae kymrwy kanhon.
Kat kat crynei yn aeron.
Kat yn arddunyon ac aeron

Kat ygcoet beit boet ron dyd.
Ny medylyeisti dy alon.
Kat yn rac uydawl amabon.

Kat y gwensteri ac estygi lloygyr.

Kat yn ros terra gan wawr.
Oed hywst gwragawn egurawn.
Yn dechreu yghenyat y geirawr.
O rieu o ryfel ry diffawt.

Ny wyl gwr ny welas gwallawc.

In the name of the Ruler of heaven, the mighty one
The supporter of his friends shall keep possession of his towns,
Splendid his princely spear
Warlike kings spear-scouting.
He will defend the pleasant plain of Lleenawg
The ruthless pushing shafts are broken
Long will they experience
The gratitude of Prydain
From the bush of Maw and Eiddyn
They would not take opposition
Friendly the aid of Clydwyn
May I be satisfied! He supplied his fleet
From spears until the shafts were heated
A coffin to every one his ambition
They cannot reckon the battles fought
By Gwallawg. Better is wild food than a she-bear.
A battle in Agathes in defence
Praise his active judgment caused
A battle in the region of Bretrwyn with heat
A great fire. Limited is his vehemence.
A battle, there was a rule of general benefit.
A battle, a battle of trembling in Aeron.
A battle in Arddunion and Aeron
Bring reproach to the youths
A battle in the wood of Beit at the close of the day
Thou didst not think of thy foes
A battle in the presence of Mabon
He will not mention the contradiction of the saved
A battle in Gwensteri and thou subduest Lloegyr
A darting of spears there is made
A battle in the marsh of Terra with the dawn
Easily broken [was] the terrible arch
At the first uttering of the word
Of kings who were extinguished in the war
Men with full intent to obtain cattle
Haearddur and Hyfaidd and Gwallawg
And Owain of Mona of Maelgwnian quality
Will lay the Peithwyr prostate
At the end of the wood of Cleddyfein
From which there will be pierced corpses
And the ravens wandering about
In Prydain, in Eiddyn, acknowledged
In Gafran, in the retreat of Brecheinawg
In energy, in exalted covering
He sees not a hero who saw not Gwallawg
