Blodau Bach (little flowers)

Skirmish: Ode to Spring (@ajna1960)

Liner Notes

A tad late to the skirmish! My ode to spring turned into an ode to the dandelion. In 2024 i had a lot of wishes i neededvl to make, and i would wish on the dandelions every time i was in the garden. In 2025 my garden was an absolute sea of dandelions, and i loved the way it was like my wishes manifest. #folk #singersongwriter #acoustic

Lyrics

Translated

I haven't asked the rose For a love on fire Or for the spring to hurry From the little snow drop

Chorus I grow my forture in my garden Little yellow bright flowers Smiling through the summer I grow my fortune in my garden Under the sun's rays Turning to magic seeds

Ooh dandelion x2

And the violets of the mountain Can relax in the sun I don't ask anything of the flowers Even though they can be very generous

Chorus

Little wishes Flying on the little breeze Bring the swallow back Little wings on the little breeze

Chorus

Ooh dandelion x3 Keep my wishes safe

Ah, da iawn! Lovely to hear the Welsh, (with thanks for the translation - dw i'n dysgu... Slowly...)

Beautiful melody which works well with the guitar. This feels sweet and reflective. Your voice is so nice to listen to, too, I feel gently held, and love the ending of the Dandelion keeping your wishes safe.

Oh dear... Poignant as always. The reference to the little swallow is a lovely touch. Maybe you could also post the Welsh lyrics so I can try and learn some new words?
