Refrain:
Fflat Huw Puw yn hwylio heno,
Sŵn codi angor;
Mi fyna'i fynd i forio:
Mi wisga'i gap pig gloew tra bydda'i byw,
Os cai fynd yn llongwr iawn ar Fflat Huw Puw.
English translation:
Hugh Pugh's flat sails tonight,
The sound of the raising of an anchor:
I long to go seafaring,
I'll wear a bright peaked cap as long as I shall live,
If I can become a true sailor on Hugh Pugh's Flat
