Capel Celyn (Cofiwch Dryweryn)
When they finally got the news, how did they feel?
Their homes and land taken from them, politicians wanting to steal
All the homes and the school would go, even the church would fall
They came with their diggers to smash down every wall
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Seventy people born and raised would soon be no more
For the English they told us, they needed water to pour
The sound of laughter from our sons and daughters
Would soon be replaced by seventy billion litres of water
Cofiwch Dryweryn
The rape of the fair country with the industrial revolution
Will never happen again, thank God for devolution
So we look to the future, but remember the past
And the crime of Capel Celyn, that'll be the last
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Their homes and land taken from them, politicians wanting to steal
All the homes and the school would go, even the church would fall
They came with their diggers to smash down every wall
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Seventy people born and raised would soon be no more
For the English they told us, they needed water to pour
The sound of laughter from our sons and daughters
Would soon be replaced by seventy billion litres of water
Cofiwch Dryweryn
The rape of the fair country with the industrial revolution
Will never happen again, thank God for devolution
So we look to the future, but remember the past
And the crime of Capel Celyn, that'll be the last
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Cofiwch Dryweryn
Cofiwch Dryweryn
