Welsh Song Weekly is a new podcast where Jason Shepherd from the 'Learn Welsh Podcast' has taken up the challenge to learn and record a traditional Welsh song every week for 52 weeks from St. Davids day 2013 to St. Davids day 2014. Today's song is a children's song and nursery rhyme called 'Mynd Drot Drot' /Going Trot trot. The song is about a white horse taking a child's mother into town to buy something nice for the families tea.

Week 1: Mynd Drot Drot





Lyrics and the english Translation
Mynd drot drot ar y gaseg wen,Mynd drot drot i'r dre,Mam yn dod yn ôl dros fryn a dôlA 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 bachA 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!
