Seithennin, stand outside
and view the churning sea
Gwyddno's realm in covered
Accursed be the maiden
who released it after feast —
pourer of the sea's harsh well
Accursed is the maiden
who loosed it after battle's cease
pourer of the sea's barren well
Mererid's cry from the fortress' ramparts
to God was it directed
Great death is common on the heels of pride
Mererid's cry from the fortress' ramparts on this day
to God her entreaty
Repentance is common on the heels of pride
Mererid's cry is what stirs me tonight
and it will not facilitate any success for me
A fall is common on the heels of pride
Mererid's cry from the back of an fine auburn steed
Generous God created it
A state of need is common on the heels of pride
Mererid's cry is what compels me tonight
away from my room.
A distant death is common on the heels of pride
Seithennin's grave: sublime his thoughts
between Caer Genedr and the shore
such a glorious leader [was he]
