Efanvos tewes
Yn tewynnow

Yn Tewynnow, Tewynnow…..
Tir, oh thir, the dir
Mor, ow mor, dha vor



Translation

In the sand dune
Where I walk, by myself, searching for home.
In the sand dune
There I find my dreams in the stormy wind, beautiful.
The seeds of tomorrow
I wander in the mist
This is my home.
The seeds of tomorrow
Sand space
In the dunes.

The seeds of tomorrow
Floating all around me
This is my home.
The seeds of tomorrow
Sand space
In the dunes

Dunes, In the dunes…..
Land, my land, your land
Sea, my sea, your sea

In the sand dune
Where I walk, by myself, searching for home
In the sand dune.
There I find my dreams in the stormy wind, beautiful.
