Diaspad vererid ẏ ar vann caer.
hid ar duu ẏ dodir,
gnaud guẏdi traha trangc hir.

Mererid's cry from a city's height
Even to God is it sent aloft:
After pride comes long death.

Diaspad mererid . ẏ ar van kaer hetiv.
hid ar duu ẏ dadoluch.
gnaud guydi traha attreguch.

Mererid's cry from a city's height to-day
Even to God her expiation:
After pride comes reflection.

Diaspad mererid am gorchuit heno.
ac nimhaut gorlluit.
gnaud guẏdi traha tramguit.

Mererid's cry fills me to-night,
Nor can I readily prosper:
After pride comes a downfall.

Diaspad mererid ẏ ar gwinev kadir
kedaul duv ae gorev.
gnaud guẏdi gormot eissev.

Mererid's cry over generous wines:
The bountiful man is God's creation:
After excess comes privation.

Diaspad mererid . am kẏmhell heno
ẏ urth uẏistauell.
gnaud guẏdi traha trangc pell.

Mererid's cry forces me to-night
Away from my chamber:
After insolence comes long death.

Bet seithenhin sẏnhuir vann
Rug kaer kenedir a glan.
mor maurhidic a kinran.

The grave of Seithennin of the feeble understanding
(Is) between Kenedyr's Fort and the shore,
(With that of) Môr the Grand and Kynran.
