about
In Welsh we have numerous words for 'rain' and different types of rain. I decided to use a bunch of them for this song, which is essentialy about depression and feeling low.
lyrics
BWRW [English translation below]
Mae’n bwrw glaw, yn sobor iawn
Mae’n nghalon i’n wag a mhen i’n llawn
Meddyliau tywyll sy’n rheoli heddiw
Pa mor hir tan dwi di meddwi
Dwi di bod yn sgwennu barddoniaeth
Efo’m mhen ym mowlen y toiled
Salwch meddwl, poen corffrol
O leiaf mae pob dydd yn ddiddorol
Achos ti wedi diflasu, tra dwi yn methu gwersi
Amser di diflanu, tra mae bywyd yn dal fyny.
CHORUS
Dududududududududududuuu X2
Mae’n bwrw glaw / Mae’n stido bwrw
Taranau mawr / Lot o Dwrw
Mae’n tresio bwrw / Mae’n twallt hi lawr
Dwi mor isel / Dwi’n suddo dan y llawr
Anghofio fy mhwrpas / a chwalu fy mhen
Gyra fi i’r diafol ‘chos dwi’n byw trwy uffern.
Mae’n bwrw hen wragedd a ffyn
Cymylau du sy’n crogi ni fan hyn
Obsesiwn fo’r gorffennol sy’n dychryn y dyfodol
O ni’n casau rheolau a’r bygythiad yn yr ysgol
Un tro oedd genai fraeddwyd, mae’n rhaid oedd o’m yn bwysig
‘Chos dwi di anghofio efo’r gwenwyn yn y ffisig
Taflu’r dydd I ffwrdd, yn taflu fyny
wastio amser, wastio mywyd, yda chi di syny?
CHORUS
Os fyswn i di marw yn ddau ddeg saith
O leiaf swni’m yn gorfod poeni am gwaith
Rownd a rownd yn annobiethiol
Dyma hunllef y dosbarth gweithiol.
CHORUS
_______________
RAINING
It’s raining rain, very heavily
My heart is empty and my head is full
Dark thoughts rule today
How long until I'm drunk again
I've been writing poetry
With my head in the toilet bowl
Mental illness, physical pain
At least every day is interesting
Coz you are bored, while I miss lessons
Time disappears, while life catches up.
CHORUS
Dudududududududududududuuu X2
It's raining rain / It’s thrashing it down
Big thunder / A lot of noise
It’s raining at maximum intensity / It’s bucketing down
I'm so low / I'm sinking under the floor
Forgetting my purpose / and destroying my mind
Take me to the devil coz I’m living through hell.
It’s raining old wives and sticks
It’s the black clouds that choke us ‘round here
It's an obsession with the past that’s scareing the future
I hated the rules and threats at school
One time I had a dream, but it can’t have been important
Because I forgot due to the poison in the medicine
Throwing the day away, throwing up
wasting my time, wasting my life, are you even surprised?
CHORUS
If I had died when I was twenty seven
At least I wouldn’t have to worry about work
Round and round, hopelessly
This is the nightmare of the working class.
