This a lovely tune that I learnt at a workshop ran by Paul Hopkins(ex Yr Hyntys).This is his arrangement of the tune.

Hoffedd Modryb Marged
Sounds like gibberish, but I asume it's Welsh. Any idea what it translates as?

"Hoffedd Modryb Marged"
Hoff / hoffi - pronounced 'h-off' / 'h-off-ee', meaning 'fond' or 'like',
as in "I like coffee!" / "Wi'n hoffi coffi!"
Hoffedd - pronounced 'h-off-ath', the 'th' being aspirated as for 'the'...
usually taken as 'fancy'
Modryb - pronounced 'mo-drrrib'
meaning 'Aunt'
Marged - pronounced loosely 'mar-gad'
Welsh 'Margaret'
So ~ "Aunt Maggie's Fancy"

"Yr Hwntws"
'who-n-twos' ~
Meaning 'The SouthWalians', or 'The Welsh from the deep South'...
~ a favourite Welsh group from the 80's, now 'reformed' and doing the touring circuit...though I've not had the pleasure of hearing them in their reincarnation...
