Ei Di'r Deryn Du: (2.17 MB = 7 min @ 56k approx.)
Cān llatai yw hon hefyd, lle mae'r carmon yn danfon deryn du i'w gariad. Mae hon yn arbennig gan ei bod yn gymysgedd o'r ddwy iath. Mae'r traddodiad yma o gymysgu dwy iaith o fewn cān yn adnabyddus yn Ewrop ers y bedwaredd ganrif ar ddeg. Tyfodd y term "macaronig" i ddisgrifio'r math yma o ganu.
This is also a messenger song in which the lover sends a blackbird with a love message to his sweetheart. This song is notable for its mixture of welsh and english. The custom of combining languages within a song has been known in europe from at least the fourteenth century and came to be termed "macaronic".
