Cynefin - Lliw’r Ceiroes

A very old Welsh folk tune taken from a manuscript called ‘Melus Seiniau’ by the renowned song collector Ifor Ceri (also known as John Jenkins). Jenkins collected tunes and melodies from across Wales during the first half of the 19th century, including many from Ceredigion. Lliw’r Ceiroes (Colour of Cherries) is noted as originally being sung by Evan Thomas from Llanarth. Here it is performed live probably for the first time in many centuries.

Nodir mai Evan Thomas o Lanarth a ganodd Lliw’r Ceiroes yn wreiddiol. Dyma hi yn cael ei pherfformio am y tro cyntaf mewn canrifoedd siwr o fod.
