about

I'm half Welsh but have never spoken or understood the language. I wrote the lyrics in English and wondered how they would sound when translated into the beautiful Welsh language. I live in a busy part of the world in SW London and love to escape to nature as often as I can. The harp represents the gentle breeze in the trees, the strings the urgent noise of the traffic in the city. Nature, like music, will always be there to embrace me and help me find solitude and silence amidst the rhythm and repetition of the life. The day never ends.

lyrics

The people the places the day never ends
The silence of strangers the day never ends
Her soft leaves are falling and darkness is calling
City life's crawling the day never ends

The trouble the traffic the day never ends
The noise of the neighbours the day never ends
Her sweet scents arouse me her brightness surrounds me
The city it crowds me the day never ends

The tired the lonely the day never ends
The squalor of homeless the day never ends
Her branches embrace me her roots will efface me
The city life drains me the day never ends

Y bobl a’r llefydd ni ddaw’r dydd i ben
Distawrwydd dieithriaid ni ddaw’r dydd i ben
Disgyn mae’i dail, ei thywyllwch yn galw
Bywyd yn cropian daw’r dydd fyth i ben

Yr helynt a’r traffig ni ddaw’r dydd i ben
Sŵn y cymdogion ni ddaw’r dydd i ben
yr aroglau melys a’i thywyllwch o’n cwmpas
Bwrlwm ddi-ddiwedd daw’r dydd byth i ben

Daw’r dydd byth i ben

Mary Bourne London, UK

I'm a singer, songwriter based in SW London. I love to collaborate with like minded musicians and always feel braver and happier when I'm making music with others. When I'm not writing music, I'm leading choirs, making podcasts, swimming outdoors or paddling in my kayak. Life is short; make memories and make music. ... more
