Answer 1

Mai bus Mari Ann wedi grivo

A Dafydd y gwas ddym yn iach

Maer baba yn y crud yn crio

Ar gath wedi scrammo Johny bach

Corus:-

Sospan fach yn berwi ar a tan

Sospan mawr yn berwi ar y llawr

Ar gath wedi scrammo Johnny bach

English verse:-

Who beat the All blacks

Who beat the all blacks

Who beat the All blacks but good old sospan fach

Corus

Dai bach y soldiwr

Dai bach y soldiwr

Dai bach y soldiwr

A gwt u crus e mas

Corus

It is a nonsense song but the 'anthem' of the scarlets, in English it translates as:-

Mary Anne's finger is injured

And David the servant(lad) is not well

The baby in the cot is crying

And the cat has scrammed little Johnny

Corus:

The little sospan is boiling on the fire

The big sospan is boiling on the floor

And the cat has scrammed little Johnny

English verse originally using the Wallabies instead of the All Blacks who Llanelli beat in 1972.

Corus

Little Dai the soldier

Little Dai the soldier

Little Dai the soldier and the tail of his shirt hanging out

Llanelli grew up around tin plate hence the sospan connection, there are sospans on top of the rugby posts at Stradey Arms Park where the Scarlets play. A hundred years ago half the world's tin went out of Llanelli docks where I learnt to swim as a boy.
