Cerdd Braich-y-Saint
The Song of Braich-y-Saint

Geiriau/Words: Robert Williams ‘Robin Fawr o Fynytho’ (’Sgwennwyd/Written c.1870) Alaw/Melody: ‘Gwnewch Bopeth yn Gymraeg’ (Tradd./Trad.)

Roedd hon yn boblogaidd iawn ymysg gweision llofft stabal ’slawer dydd, a gallai enw’r fferm a ddefnyddir yn y gân newid i siwtio profiadau personol. Mae’r fferm a ysgogodd y cyfansoddiad yma yn sefyll nid nepell o dre Cricieth.

A song that was still popular amongst the farm labourers of the Llŷn Peninsula around the turn of the 20th century. It talks of the hiring fair at Pwllheli, where a misleadingly jolly farmer employs the author. The farm-hand soon discovers that his new boss proves to be the worst he’s ever had, barking orders from dawn till dusk. Songs like these were a handy way for farm labourers to know which farms where hospitable, and which to avoid!
