Roedd dim ond tri ohonon ni yn y grŵp sgwrsio Ffrangeg heno – wel tri a hanner, a dweud y gwir – roedd un arall sy’n medru deall Ffrangeg ac sy’n methu ei siarad. Ar ôl awr o Ffrangeg mi es i i’r clwb iwcwlili yn y tafarn Groegeg. Roedd llai ohonon ni yna na’r wythnos diwetha’ – tua deg, dw i’n meddwl, ond mae hyn yn lot mwy na’r tymor diwetha’. Heblaw’r caneuon arferol, mi wnes i canu rhyw ganeuon fy hunan hefyd, caneuon dw i ‘di sgwenu.

There were only three of us in the French conversation group tonight – well, three and a half actually – there was one who can understand French but doesn’t speak it. After an hour of French I went to the ukulele club in the Greek. There were fewer of us there than last week – about 10, I think, but that’s a lot more than last term. Apart from the usual songs, I also sang a few of my own songs, songs that I’ve written.

Ar ôl brecwast y bore ‘ma mi wnes i taflu yr afalau olaf o’r afallen yn fy ngardd, ac yna mi es i i’r archfachnad. Roedd hi’n bwrw glaw mân ar y ffordd yna, ac ar y ffordd adref mi wnaeth hi’n dechrau treisio bwrw. Yn ffodus roedd gen i trywsus dal dŵr, felly do’n i ddim gor wlyb. Mi wnes i tipyn bach o waith cyn ac ar ôl cinio, ac mi wnes canu cerddoriaeth efo ffrindiau yn y prynhawn. Gyda’r nos mi wnes i canu yn y côr cymuned. Dan ni’n dysgu cân o’r ardal Megrelian yn Georgia ar hyn o bryd – mae’r geiriau yn anodd i ynganu ac i gofio, ond mae’r cytgordiau yn hyfryd.

After breakfast this morning I picked the last of the apples from the apple tree in my garden, and then went to the supermarket. It was drizzling on the way there, and on the way back it started to pour down. Fortunately I had my waterproof trouser, so I didn’t get too wet. I did a bit of work before and after lunch, and played music with friends in the afternoon. In the evening I went to the community choir. We are learning a song from the Megrelian region of Georgia at the moment – the words are difficult to pronounce and to remember, but the harmonies are lovely.

Roedd pedwar ohonon ni yn y clwb iwcwlili heno – tri myfyrwyr a fi. Mae myfyrwr, o Loegr, yn medru canu’r iwc yn dda, ac mae dau arall, o Tsieina, wedi dechrau canu’r iwc yr wythnos diwethaf. Mi wnaethon ni canu caneuon eithaf syml dan ni i gyd yn gwybod heb gormod o gordiau. Roedd y grŵp iwc yn cyfarfod un waith yr wythnos, ond mi wnes i awgrymu cyfarfod arall ar nos Lun ar gyfer y rhai sy methu dod ar nos Iau, ac ar gyfer y rhai sy’n eisiau canu iwcs dwy waith yr wythnos.

There were four of us in the ukulele club tonight – three students and me. One student, from England, can play the uke well, and two others, from China, started playing the uke last week. We played fairly simple songs that we all know without too many chords. The group was meeting once a week, but I suggested another meeting on Monday nights for those who can’t come on Thursday nights, and for those who want to play ukes twice a week.
