Ar Hyd Y Nos
Sava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ar hyd y nos
"Dyma'r ffordd i fro gogoniant,"
Ar hyd y nos.
Golau arall yw tywyllwch
I arddangos gwir brydferthwch
Teulu'r nefoedd mewn tawelwch
Ar hyd y nos.
O mor siriol, gwena seren
Ar hyd y nos
I oleuo'i chwaer ddaearen
Ar hyd y nos.
Nos yw henaint pan ddaw cystudd
Ond i harddu dyn a'i hwyrddydd
Rhown ein golau gwan i'n gilydd
Ar hyd y nos.
The Welsh folk song Ar Hyd Y Nos (All Through the Night) speaks of the beauty of the night and the stars that shine throughout it. The first verse translates as "All the stars whisper, "All through the night, this is the way to the land of glory," All through the night. Another light is darkness, to reveal true beauty, the family of heavens in silent peace all through the night." This verse is emphasizing the idea that true beauty is often hidden in the darkness, and that there is a sense of peace in the silence of the night. The phrase "land of glory" could refer to heaven or to a metaphorical place of greatness.
The second verse translates to "Oh, how cheerful, the star smiles, all through the night, to light up his earthly sister, all through the night. Night becomes old in adversity, but to adorn man and his dwelling, weak light is given equally to us all, all through the night." This verse speaks of the idea that stars are like siblings, shining down on the world to bring light and comfort. The stars are unwavering in their brightness, even in times of hardship.
Overall, the song Ar Hyd Y Nos celebrates the beauty of the night and speaks of the steadfastness of the stars in bringing light and comfort to the world. The verses also suggest a deeper meaning, that true beauty is often hidden in darkness and that there is a sense of peace in stillness and silence.
