Lle mae afonydd yn cwrdd 03:28
lyrics
Cymer: Ar fynyddoedd pell tu draw O gwmwl ddu, fe ddaw y glaw I greu y llif a rhed oddi yno Hanes afon - byr a chryno A dyma dau yn troi yn un Yn llifo'n dawel yng nghytûn Cyfuno, cwrdd - wel dyna'r llun Cymer afonydd nawr yn un Confluence: On distant mountains beyond From a black cloud, the rain comes To create the flow that runs from there The river's history - short and concise And here are two turned into one Flowing quietly in harmony Combining, meeting - well that's the picture Meeting of rivers becoming one

Diwedd y daith 02:48
lyrics
Weithiau mae bywyd - Fel eogiaid yn nofio - Yn erbyn y llif Sometimes, life is like salmon swimming against the flow

Dychweliad y Barcud Coch 05:34
lyrics
Fel deilein aur o dan y cwmwl gwyn Yn hofran, siglo, trysor byw a phrin. A wyddoch pa mor agos daethoch chi I ddifodiant llwyr - a wyddoch chi? Ond ni phoenwch am ddyfodol nawr Mwynhewch y dydd, y machlud ac y gwawr Plymmenwch lawr i'r dir fel saeth o aur Yn waywffon yn torri'r awyr claer. Like a golden leaf beneath the white cloud Hovering, quivering - a living rare treasure Do you know how close you came To extinction - Did you know? But do not worry about the future now Enjoy the day, the sunset and the dawn Plummet down to the earth like a golden arrow a spear, cleaving the clear air.

about

'Where rivers meet' is a short collection of guitar instrumentals written over the last couple of years. Although many other pieces have also been written during this time, the tracks selected for the EP hopefully provide a cohesive narrative influenced in equal parts by both family experiences and the Welsh landscape.

Three of the tracks have beautiful introductory Welsh language poems written by my talented wife, Sian. Translations of these are provided for those of us who are not proficient Welsh speakers.

Mae 'Lle mae afonydd yn cwrdd' yn gasgliad byr o offerynnau gitâr a ysgrifennwyd dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf. Er bod llawer o ddarnau eraill hefyd wedi'u hysgrifennu yn ystod yr amser hwn, gobeithio bod y traciau a ddewiswyd ar gyfer yr EP yn darparu naratif cydlynol y mae profiadau teuluol a thirwedd Cymru wedi dylanwadu arno mewn rhannau cyfartal.

Mae gan dri o'r traciau gerddi rhagarweiniol hyfryd o Gymraeg a ysgrifennwyd gan fy ngwraig dalentog, Sian. Darperir cyfieithiadau o'r rhain ar gyfer y rhai ohonom nad ydynt yn siaradwyr Cymraeg hyfedr.

Gobeithio y gwnewch chi fwynhau, Pete
