Lyrics and the english Translation
Mynd Drot Drot
 
 
Mynd drot drot ar y gaseg wen,
 
Mynd drot drot i'r dre,
 
Mam yn dod yn ôl dros fryn a dôl
 
A rhywbeth neis neis i de.
 
 
 
Teisen i Bil, a banana i Sil,
 
A thamaid i'r gath a'r ci,
 
Afal mawr iach i Ben y gwas bach
 
A rhywbeth neis neis i mi
Going trot trot on the white mare; Going trot trot to town. Mother comes back over hill and meadow With something really nice for tea! A cake for Sil A banana for Bil And something for the cat and dog. A wholesome apple for Ben the little servant-boy And something really nice for me!
