Largo al factotum - Il barbiere di Siviglia - Rossini

Figaro introduces himself in this famous 'patter' aria. Not only is he the barber of Seville, with his well-stocked shop, but he is also the general factotum of the city. He is happy to run errands, arrange meetings and perform all kinds of services – as long as he gets paid for it.

Figaro yn ei gyflwyno’i hun yn yr aria ‘barablu’ enwog yma. Nid yn unig y mae’n farbwr Siviglia, a chanddo stoc dda yn ei siop, ond ef hefyd ydi Siôn pob swydd y ddinas. Mae’n fodlon mynd ar neges, trefnu cyfarfodydd a gwneud pob math o gymwynas - cyn belled â’i fod yn cael ei dalu.

Wie Todesahnung... O du mein holder Abendstern – Tannhäuser - Wagner

Elisabeth and Wolfram von Eschenbach, the poet, are awaiting Tannhäuser’s return from his pilgrimage to Rome, but she cannot see him among the throng of pilgrims.

Ich hab’ein glühend Messer - Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen - Mahler

The singer has a red-hot knife in his breast, bringing him the agony of lost love all day and all night. He sees the blue of her eyes when he looks at the sky and the gold of her hair when he walks in the fields. He hears her laugh as he wakes from dreaming and wishes he were dead. Mahler wrote the text himself.

Mae gan y canwr gyllell nwydus yn ei fron, sy’n peri artaith cariad coll iddo drwy’r dydd a’r nos. Gwêl lesni ei llygaid pan yw’n edrych ar yr awyr, a gwêl aur ei gwallt pan yw’n cerdded yn caeau. Clyw ei chwerthin wrth iddo ddeffro o’i freuddwyd a dymuna fod yn farw. Mahler ei hun ysgrifennodd y testun.

The Swimmer - Sea Pictures - Elgar

In a stormy sea, a swimmer remembers happier times with a lover. This is the last of the five songs in the cycle, and Elgar includes musical quotes from the previous songs. The poem is by Adam Lindsay Gordon.

Beim Schlafengehen - Vier letzte Lieder - R Strauss

Strauss's valedictory ‘Four Last Songs’ deal serenely with the subject of death and were written shortly before he died. In 'Going to sleep' the poet is tired and wants to give himself up to the friendly night. All his senses want to sleep and his soul wishes to soar into the magic sphere of the night, to live more deeply there. The poem is by Hermann Hesse.

Mae ‘Pedair Cân Olaf ‘ffarweliadol Strauss yn ymdrin yn dangnefeddus ag angau ac fe'u sgrifennwyd toc cyn ei farw. Yn ‘Mynd i gysgu’ mae’r bardd wedi blino ac yn dymuno ei ildio’i hun i’r nos gyfeillgar. Mae ar ei synhwyrau oll eisiau cysgu a’i enaid yn dymuno esgyn i gylch hud y nos i fyw’n ddyfnach yno. Gan Hermann Hesse y mae’r gerdd.

Habañera – Carmen - Bizet

‘L’amour est un oiseau rebelle’ is the song Carmen sings to the soldiers, outside the cigarette factory, who ask her when she will fall in love. Love is a rebellious bird, she says: it is a child of Bohemia and does not obey any rules. She warns them that if she decides to fall in love, they should take care! Bizet based his melody on a song by Iradier.

L’amour est un oiseau rebelle’ ydi’r gân mae Carmen yn ei chanu i’r milwyr y tu allan i’r ffatri sigaréts, sy’n gofyn iddi pa bryd y syrthia mewn cariad. Aderyn anhydrin ydi cariad, meddai hi: plentyn Bohemia nad ydi’n ufuddhau i’r un rheol. Rhybuddia nhw, os penderfyna syrthio mewn cariad, cymered ofal! Seiliodd Bizet ei alaw ar gân gan Iradier.
