Beddgelert from Carneddi by Iestyn Tyne

Dyma hen alaw anarferol a ddysgais o un o recordiadau Cass Meurig a Niall Cain. O’i gymharu â llonyddwch diarffordd Nantmor, Beddgelert oedd canolfan y mynd a’r dod yn lleol; yno roedd y newyddion, a’r heidiau ymwelwyr o bell. Fe ddaeth Carneddog trwy’i ddiddordebau yn hynafiaethau a diwylliant ei ardal i feddu ar stôr o wybodaeth am y pentref a’i bobl, nes ei fod yn ffynhonnell anhepgor i unrhyw un oedd yn ymchwilio yn y maes.

An unusual old tune i learnt from a recording by Cass Meurig and Niall Cain. Compared with the remoteness of Nantmor, Beddgelert was the centre of local comings and goings; all the news and the hordes of tourists. Through his interests in the antiquities and culture of the area, Carneddog came to hold a huge amount of information about the village and its inhabitants; so much so that he became an invaluable source of material for any researcher into local history.
