Rhoer daear i'r gweithiwr fel gallo gael byw -
Nid daear i'r Landlord fwriadwyd gan Dduw
Give the land to the worker so he may live -
God did not make the land for the Landlord

Uchel yw pren y bydoedd
A Medi ydyw'r mis
Y plyg yr haul mawr aeddfed
Ei ystwyth gainc yn is.
A than ei thrymlwyth hithau
Mae cainc o'r pren sy'n hŷn
Yn gŵyro trwy'r llonyddwch
I lawr at galon dyn.
A rhwng tymhorau daear
Ymrithia amgen wedd.
Ynghanol oesol ryfel
Mihangel y mae hedd.

In Welsh mythology and folklore, badgers (mochyn daear or broch) are viewed as ancient, tenacious guardians of the earth and nocturnal spirits of the forest. They symbolize wisdom and resilience, and are often seen as guides to the underworld.

Last night, I dreamt about angry badgers biting my toes while I walked my dog.
I was not upset, nor afraid, for that is what badgers do.
They were defending their sett from nasty bipeds.
Today has been hard and full of tears.
Heddwch yn y Hedd, mochyn daear.

Mochyn daear (pronounced moh-chin day-arr) is the standard term used for badger in modern Welsh. This literally translates as "earth pig". Broch is another, older, and more poetic name or term for badger.
