1. Solus (3:03)

Ani Ani Anio
Chwelio dafyny mae

Ani Ani Anio
Chwe aena mi phae

Dae mi phae, Wana dw lae
Dae mi phae, Llw na di chwae

Ehi, ehi, ehi, ehio, Ae do mae
Abada do ni lae, Abada do ni lae

2. I Am Stretched On Your Grave (5:41)

I am stretched on your grave and will lie there forever
if your hands were in mine I'd be sure we'd not sever
my apple tree, my brightness, it's time we were together
for I smell of the earth and am worn by the weather

When my family thinks that I'm safe in my bed
from night until morning I am stretched at your head
calling out to the air, with tears hot and wild
my grief for the man that I loved as a child

Do you remember the night we were lost
in the shade of the blackthorn and the chill of the frost
thanks be to Jesus we did what was right
and my maidenhead still is your pillar of light

The priests and the friars approach me in dread
because I still love you, my love, and you're dead
I still would be your shelter through rain and through storm
and you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm

So I'm stretched on your grave and will lie there forever
if your hands were in mine I'd be sure we'd not sever
my apple tree, my brightness, it's time we were together
for I smell of the earth and am worn by the weather

3. Dafydd Y Garreg Wen (4:15) (Top of Page)

Cariwch,” medd Dafydd, “fy nhelyn i mi
Ceisiaf cyn marw roi tôn arni hi.
Codwch fy nwylo i gyrraedd y tant,
Duw a'ch bendithio fy ngweddw a'm plant.”

Neithiwr mi glywais lais angel fel hyn:
“Dafydd, tyrd adref a chware drwy'r glyn.”
Delyn fy mebyd ffarwel i dy dant,
Duw a'ch bendithio fy ngweddw a'm plant.

Dacw 'nghariad i lawr yn y berllan
Twrymdiro, rymdi radlidlal
O na bawn i yno fy hunan
Twrymdiro, rymdi radlidlal
Dacw'r ty a dacw'r 'sgubor
Dacw ddrws y beudy'n agor
Ffaldira dlidlal, ffaldira dlidlal
Twrymdiro, rymdi radlidlal.

Dacw'r delyn, dacw'r tannau
Beth wyf well heb neb i'w chwarae?
Dacw'r feinwen hoenus fanwl
Beth wyf nes heb gael ei meddwl?
Ffaldira...

Dacw'r dderwen wych ganghennog
Golwg arni sydd dra serchog
Mi arhosaf dan ei chysgod
Nes daw 'nghariad i 'nghyfarfod
Ffaldira...

6. Orpheus Lost Eurydice (4:05) (Top of Page)

Moments treasured and the moment's gone
Moments I have spent with you
Memories shared before our time is done
Memories bright and shining new

Ghosts of future and the ghosts of past
All alive within you now
Trust in them to make the image last
Trust in them to see you through

Hold on to the reflection of now
Images living through time as you go
Look back you might lose all that you love
As Orpheus lost Eurydice

Secrets whispering their ancient rhyme
Secrets hidden or in view
Stories told and we can see through time
Stories living will renew

Hold on...

So much time wasted living for that dream
Winning all those battles but losing the war
So much time spent living in the past
Killed what we're living for

Future is the past is the present is the
Future is the past is the present is the
Future is the past is the now

8. A Fortunate Lady (4:44) (Top of Page)

A very great lady is she
She sits in her parlour with tea and scones
and scorns the world she sees
So sure what her role is to be
A friend to humanity
She’s given her self, she's given her wealth
What more do they want to be free?

Free, free to find their own way,
to work for their pay and finally break away
from their need, greed, inadequacy
and fear that will follow them to their grave.

A fortunate lady is she
Her birthright is higher than those she shows
the way that life should be
How long must she feel sympathy?
Fed up with their poverty
There's more to this life than struggle and strife
If only they'd try to be...

Free, free...

Alone in her mission is she
She thanks God each day that she's left alone
by friends and family
She's better than they'll ever be
They won't pull her down to be one of the crowd
She is too proud to hear why she never will be

Free, free to find her own way,
to work for her pay and finally break away
from her need, greed, inadequacy
and fear that will follow her to her grave.

9. The Wind That Shakes the Barley (7:13) (Top of Page)

I sat within the valley green I sat me with my true love
My sad heart strove the two between the old love and the new love
The old for her, the new that made me think on Ireland dearly
While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden barley.

Twas hard the woeful words to frame to break the ties that bound us
But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us
And so I said, "The mountain glen I'll seek at morning early
And join the bold united men while soft winds shake the barley.”

She: All I want to do is to love, is to love you
And all I want to do is to see my wedding day
I tell you all I want to do is to love, is to love you
And all I ask of you is to tell me you will stay.

While sad I kissed away her tears, her arms around me clinging
When to my ears that fateful shot came out the wildwood ringing
The bullet pierced my true love's side in life's young spring so early,
And there upon my breast she died while soft winds shook the barley.

She: All I want to do...

She: Why all this fighting,
Never solved a thing
Why all this fighting,
All this fighting in the land
Why must you die?
It’s only pride will kill you
Why must you die
At your own brother’s hand?

Twas blood for blood without remorse I took at Oulart Hollow
I placed my true love's clay-cold corpse where mine full soon may follow
Around her grave I wandered drear noon, night, and morning early
With aching heart when e'er I hear the wind that shakes the barley.

She: All I want to do...

10. The Water Is Wide (5:45) (Top of Page)

The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

There is a ship, she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

I leaned my back up against an oak
I thought it was a trusty tree
But first it swayed and then it broke
And so my false love did unto me

Oh love is handsome and love is fine
And oh so sweet when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

Must I be bound and he go free
Must I love one that don't love me
Why must I play this foolish part
And love a man who'll break my heart

The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er
There is no true love, no love that's sure
Love was untrue but I'll not complain
Some day I hope to love again

11. Prayer (0:22) (Top of Page)

Mothers, guard your children
Mothers, best beware
Peace is still a distant dream
Her work our shining prayer
