'Mentro' (Welsh: 'to venture'). Song written and performed by +Simon Dyda in 2006. 

"Dwi isio gweld dy wen ddymunol, clywed dy ganu mor swynol; dwi isio teimlo ein calonnau ni yn cyfuno. Gad inni feiddio mentro dan y golau amryliwiol; gad inni ddawnsio yn y disgo. Da teimlo ysbryd mor egniol; da clywed miwsig sydd mor hudol; da cael noson mor ffansiol."

"I want to see your pleasant smile, hear your enchanting singing; I want to feel our hearts combine. Let us dare to venture under the multicoloured lights; let us dance in the disco. It's good to feel such an energetic spirit; it's good to hear such magical music; it's good to have such a fanciful night."

We can't ignore this stormy weather. 
Just have to believe things can only get better 
Now all our clothes are torn and tattered 
And all we can see are the rocks on which we're battered. 
And when we're smashed to smithereens who'll be the one to hold the seams? 
And when we're much to tired to scream who'll be the one to goad our dreams? 
Well I know that you've been crying 
You know that I have too 
There's no point in us lying when we both know what is true 
There's no point in denying that a change is there to see 
There's no point in defying who you really want to be 
So when this winter has been and departed 
And a fairer season has only just got started 
Will we still wear these clothes torn and tattered 
Where will we be? Will all of this have mattered?

Isio ('Want' in North Welsh)

Ty'd ata' i ar draws yr eigion heibio meibion y lli'
Dw i'n byw fan hyn ymhlith adfeilion hen gofion y byd a fu

Dyma fi isio ti
Dyma fi isio ti
Dyma fi
Dw i isio dy gyfareddu di

Tasa gen i bâr o esgyll nid dal i sefyll y fi
Ond hedfan atat ti fel saethell a dy galon yn darged imi

Come to me across the ocean past the sons of the flood
I live here among the ruins of old memories of the world that was

Here I am
Want you
Here I am
Want you
Here I am
I want to enchant you

If I had a pair of wings I wouldn't remain standing
But fly to you like an arrow, your heart my target
