Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Ann Maddocks/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The author of the page has translated "Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn" as "Tending the White Wheat". This is not incorrect, but a more literal translation would be "Shepherding the White Wheat". The most common translation of this is "Watching the Wheat"; whilst this is quite fanciful, it is commonly used to ensure that the English words scan with the melody whilst singing in English rather than the original Welsh.
