Melenach e oed e fenn
Na blodou an banadyl
Gwennach e oed he diwvronn
Na bronn an alarch gwenn
An wen hewen am lowenas
An hegarat, an lagat glas
Mar ham gworant va charantidh
Da vut innos och he chostith
Pedeir meillionenn gwynnyon
Auydei yny hol
Pa ford bennak y delhei hag am hynny
Y gelwit hi Olwen
Tous ceux qui la voyaient ne pouvaient s'empêcher de l'aimer.
Sa tête était plus blonde que les fleurs du genêt,
ses seins plus blancs que la poitrine du cygne blanc,
quatre trèfles blancs, poussaient sur sa trace,
quelque soit le chemin qu'elle prit.
Et c'est pourquoi on l'appelait : Olwen !
