Si hei lwli 'mabi, mae'r llong yn mynd i ffwrdd
Si fy mabi lwli, mae'r capten ar y bwrdd
Si hei lwli, lwli lws, cysga, cysga 'mabi tlws
Si hei lwli 'mabi, mae'r llong yn mynd i ffwrdd

Sleep my lovely baby, the ship is going away,
Sleep my lovely baby, the captain's on board.
Si hei lwli, lwli lws, sleep my pretty child,
Sleep my lovely baby, the ship is going away.
