- Peis Dinogad (Dinogad's Smock) performed at Club 85 in Hitchin (19/08/2018).
This song in Old Welsh is from the first four lines of a 6th Century nursery rhyme that was found written in the margins of Britain's oldest heroic poem, Y Gododdin. These ancient words will be incomprehensible to most modern Welsh language speakers, but we learnt it from listening to a Welsh band called Ffynnon.
Lyrics:
Peis dinogat e vreith vreith.
O grwyn balaot ban wreith.
Chwit chwit chwidogeith.
Gochanwn gochenyn wythgeith.
Translations:
Dinogad's shift is speckled, speckled,
It was made from the pelts of martens.
`Wee! Wee!' Whistling.
We call, they call, the eight in chains.
