    the Welsh songs that I used to sing as a child. Unfortunately I seem to
    have forgotten the words/titles of the songs, except for a few lines.

    Can anybody out there help me out with the words of all of those long forgotten songs.

    I've listed some of the words of my favorites below, but can't remember the titles etc (apologies for any spelling or miss pronunciation, my written Welsh is not what it used to be):
    ^ ^
    - My gen i het triongle.....
    - Dau Gi back yn mynd i'r coed....
    - Ar lan y mor, mae rhossyn chochion...
    - Enedd...
    - draw, draw yn china a thiroedd siapan....
    - Hen fenyw o Kidwelli....

    As well as these, there are many others that I can remember the tune for
    but alas not the words.

    Thanks in advance

    Draw, draw yn China a thiroedd Japan,
    Plant bach melynion sy'n byw;
    Dim ond eilunod o'u cylch ymhob man!
    Neb i ddweyd am Dduw!

    Cydgan:-
    Iesu, cofia'r plant,
    Iesu, cofia'r plant,
    Anfon Genhadon ymhell dros y mo+r,
    Iesu, cofia'r plant.

    Draw, draw yn India a glannau Ceylon
    Marw mae myrdd yn ddi-hedd:
    Plant bach a+ chysgod y nos yn eu bron,
    Plant bach duon eu gwedd.

    Cydgan.

    Draw mae rhai bach yng Ngorllewin y byd,
    Blodau Brazil a Pheriw;
    Trist yw eu gweled yn gwywo i gyd,
    Plant bach tywyll eu lliw.

    Cydgan.
    Draw draw yn Affrica eang i gyd,
    Draw yn ynysoedd y de;
    Miloedd ar filoedd sy'n galw o hyd
    Am oleuni'r Ne'.
    Cydgan.
