Cerys Matthews and the London Bulgarian Choir - Bachgen Bach o Dincar

With thanks to Sian on mudcat.org/thre...
Bachgen bach o dincar yn crwydro'r hyd y wlad,
Cario'i dwls a'i dacla, gwneud ei waith yn rhad,
Yn ei law roedd haearn ac ar ei gefn roedd bocs,
Pwt o getyn yn ei geg, a than ei drwyn roedd locs:
Potsiar a peipar a twigar owns agen,
Ddy potsiar o ddy peipar o ddy nicarbocar lein;
La di da di da di, hoc it on ddy tshen,
Ddy potsiar o ddy peipar o ddy nicarbocar lein.
Roughly translated ...
The little tinker man wandering through the country
Carrying his tools and tackle, working cheaply
In his hand is his iron and on his back, his box
A stump of a pipe in his mouth, and a moustache under his nose.
Then the chorus is nonsense. Believed to have been taught to Welsh children as a way of teaching them English, the words of this English folk song have become "Welshified"!!!

Everything that is beautiful about different cultures and their meeting in one song. That's what music is for.
