lyrics

Fi’n teimlo fel R Williams Parry.
Fi’n cadw gweld cadnoed wrth yrru’n y nos,
A dwy sefydlog fflam golau nghar i
Sy’n taflu goleuni i dywyllwch y ffos.

A bydd holl blant bach Cymru
Yn dysgu fy nghan i,
Ac athrawon Cymraeg, led-led y wlad
Yn astudio pob gair, pob sill a phob odl,
Yn chwilio am ystyr ac arwyddocad.

Ie, fi’n teimlo fel Harry Dean Stanton.
Yn crwydro’r anialwch yn wael ei lun,
Wedi drysu mewn rhyw rwydau,
Rhwydau weithiais i fy hun.

Ond bydd neb o blant Cymru
Yn dysgu fy nghan i,
Ond fi dal i weld nhw, led-led y wlad,
Yn ymddangos o’r rhedyn, yn fflam anghyffredin
Chwilio am ystyr ac arwyddocad.

So, fi’n googlo fel R Williams Parry.
“Reasons for seeing a fox” ond mae’n dweud bo’ fi’n
Ddoeth, neu ar fin cael fy’n nhwyllo,
Ond fi’n credu mae’r wers yw bod natur yn wyrth.

Mae ‘na lwynog ym mhob cysgod,
Yn y tywyllwch mae’r seren wib,
Cwyd dy ben ac agor dy lygaid,
Ac fe weli di wyrthiau’r byd.

I feel like R Williams Parry.
I keep seeing foxes whilst driving at night,
And the two stable flames of my car lights
Throw light into the darkness of the ditch.

And all the children of Wales
Will learn my song,
And Welsh teachers, across the country
Will study each word, each syllable and each rhyme.
Searching for meaning and significance.

Yeah, I feel like Harry Dean Stanton.
Wandering the desert a picture of poorliness,
Entangled in some nets,
Nets that I worked myself.

And none of the children of Wales
Will learn my song.
But I keep seeing them, across the country
Appearing from the fern, an uncommon flame.
I’m looking for meaning and significance.

So, I google like R Williams Parry
“Reasons for seeing a fox” but it says that I’m
Wise or about to be fooled.
But I think that the lesson is that nature is a miracle.

There’s a fox in every shadow,
The shooting star is in the darkness.
Raise your head and open your eyes
And you’ll see the world’s miracles.

I’ve been a massive Super Furry Animals fans since their first album and I’ve seen them many times in the UK and North America. Das Koolies are awesome. I heard this for the first time today and it’s completely different to the Furries. A little like Black Devil Disco Club with little hints of the furries now and again. Brilliant. Peter Easton
