Let Go - Final Mix

When a Dutch friend sent me some silly phrases in Welsh about Owen and his parsnips from the Duolingo Welsh course, I was inspired to write this song. I wrote it in July 2021, and made this recording in July 2022.

Pan mi anfonodd ffrind o'r Iseldiroedd rhyw ymadroddion gwirion yn y Gymraeg am Owen a'i banas o gwrs Cymraeg ar Duolingo, mi ges i fy ysbridoli i sgwennu'r gân ma.  Mi wnes i sgwennu hi ym mis Gorffenaf 2021, a mi wnes i gwneud y recordiad ma ym mis Gorffenaf 2022.

Here are the words:

Pannas Owen (Owen's Parsnips)

Cyrfa (Chorus)
O lle mae pannas Owen? (Where are Owen's parsnips?)
Lle mae pannas Owen? (Where are Owen's parsnips?)
Lle mae pannas Owen? (Where are Owen's parsnips?)
Does neb yn gwybod. (Nobody knows)

Ydyn nhw yn y gegin? (Are they in the kitchen?)
Ydyn nhw efo'r dewin? (Are they with the wizard?)
Ydyn nhw yn y felin? (Are they in the mill?)
Does neb yn gwybod. (Nobody knows)

Ydyn nhw yn yr oergell? (Are they in the fridge?)
Ydyn nhw yn y tegell? (Are they in the kettle?)
Ydyn nhw yn y lyfyrgell? (Are they in the library?)
Does neb yn gwybod. (Nobody knows)

Ydyn nhw ar y to? (Are they on the roof?)
Ydyn nhw dan glo? (Are they locked up?)
Ydyn nhw'n crwydro? (Are they wandering?)
Does neb yn gwybod. (Nobody knows)

Ydyn nhw yn y coeden? (Are they in the tree?)
Ydyn nhw yn yr awyren? (Are they in the plane?)
Ydyn nhw yn y gacen? (Are they in the cake?)
Does neb yn gwybod. (Nobody knows)

Whimsifully Odd

LYRICS:

Ask me on a Monday
Where I'd like my future to be
I will tell you one thing
Hope it's a million miles from here
Could be lying on a beach
Could be staring at the sea
Don't care where you take me
As long as it's far away from here, from here

Feel I'm going nowhere
Lost within the 9 to 5
Trapped in endless circles
Forgot what it means to be alive
Could be travelling the world
Could be running wild and free
Don't care where you take me
As long as it's far away

Try to make a living
But my soul just isn't in it

Cos I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
And I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles

Tired of pushing paper
Counting hours until I can leave
Feel I'm going under
Feel life ebb away from me
Could be walking in the sun
Could be following a dream
Don't care where you take me
As long as it's far away

Do my best to win 
But I don't know where to begin 

Because I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
And I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles

Million miles away 

Feel I'm going nowhere
Lost within the 9 to 5
Trapped in endless circles
Forgot what it means to be alive
Could be travelling the world
Could be running wild and free
Don't care where you take me
As long as it's far away
From here

Take me far away
Where I can find myself again
Take me to where I want to be

And I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles away
I should be a million miles from here
I should be a million miles

Take me a million miles away
A million miles

So take me far away
Where I can find myself again
Take me to where I want to be
