Hyn yw bywyd tragwyddol
Language: Welsh (Cymraeg) 
Chosen for Diff
Hyn yw bywyd tragwyddol:
ennyd
bywyd
yn anadl y byd:

y gwreiddyn yn y ddaear,
yr yn y awyr,

yr hedyn yn y pridd,
y ffrwyth yn y pren,

y dynfnder yn heigio yn y môr
ac uchder yn cnydio'r wybren,

marwolaeth y machlud 
a genedigaeth y wawr

yn wyrdd yn y cnawd,
yn felyn yn y gelfyddyd.

This is eternal life
Language: English  after the Welsh (Cymraeg) 
This is eternal life:
Life's 
moment
in the world's breath

the root in the earth, 
the wings in the air,

the seed in the ground, 
the fruit on the tree,

the depth teeming in the sea 
and height fructifying the sky,

the sunset's death 
and the dawn's birth,

green in flesh, 
golden in art.
