Dim Dealltwriaeth
Duffy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rhyfel ar
Y tir beth ydan
Ni yn ddisgwyl?
Derbyn hyn
Mor hir
Ac yn cadw
Yn ddistaw
Pobol yn crio
Dioddef
Efo'r straen
Wrthi yn trio
I rhedeg
Fel o'r blaen

Dim dealltwriaeth
Lle gawn ni droi?

Felly yma ydan
Ni yn cwrdd
Mae'r byd
Angen help
Ac felly ydan
Ni yn teimlo
Mae'r byd yn

Cael ei dreisio
Ar y wlad welwch
Chi hoel
Ein tad
Yn dioddef
Yma'n dawel

Felly sefwch i fynu
Ac yma ydan ni'n aros
Ar y ffaith does na

Dim dealltwriaeth
Lle gawn ni droi?

Dim cariad
Dim gwen mae
Fy nghalon
Yn teimlo'n hen





Dim dealltwriaeth
Lle gawn ni droi?

Overall Meaning

The Welsh song, "Dim Dealltwriaeth" by Duffy is an emotional and powerful commentary on war, violence, and suffering. The opening lines of the song, "Rhyfel ar y tir beth ydan ni yn ddisgwyl?" translates to "War on the land, what are we waiting for?" These lyrics speak to the devastation of war and the confusion and helplessness felt by those affected by it. The following lines, "Ac yn cadw yn ddistaw, pobol yn crio, dioddef efo'r straen," meaning "Keeping quiet, people crying, suffering with the pain," further illustrate the pain and agony faced by the victims of war.


The chorus, "Dim dealltwriaeth lle gawn ni droi?" can be translated to "No understanding where do we turn?". It highlights the confusion and lack of direction felt by the individuals amidst the chaos and tragedy of war. It is a cry for help and a plea for resolution. The bridge section of the song, "Cael ei dreisio ar y wlad welwch chi hoel ein tad yn dioddef yma'n dawel," is a heartbreaking statement on how war affects not only the people but also the land, condemning the war and acknowledging the immense damage it causes to the world.
