Kernewek English
(translated by Roger Courtenay)

Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys
Den hir moon yn kota rudh gwiskys
Da-rag-travyth-baban re beuv dregynnys
Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys
Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys

Piw re beu ow kwari genes a-dro
Kath woyeyn, dewlagas glas dhodho
Trufel baban eus nowodhow?
Piw re beu ow kwari genes a-dro
Piw re beu ow kwari genes a-dro

Nebonan a'th welas yn myttin a-varr
Y'n kabaret ow tybri hag ow tonsya
Ev o hir ha moon gans mona rag dew
Dhodho kadillak rudh ha minvlew du
Ev a synsas dha leuv ha kana dhis,
Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys
Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys

Piw re beu ow kwari genes a-dro
Kath woyeyn, dewlagas glas dhodho
Trufel baban eus nowodhow?
Piw re beu ow kwari genes a-dro
Piw re beu ow kwari genes a-dro

Nebonan a'th welas yn myttin a-varr
Y'n kabaret ow tybri hag ow tonsya
Ev o hir ha moon gans mona rag dew
Dhodho kadillak rudh ha minvlew du
Ev a synsas dha leuv ha kana dhis,
Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys
Piw re beus ow kara ha my gyllys

Who you been loving since I been gone
A long tall man with a red coat on
Good-for-nothing-baby you've been doing me wrong
Who you been loving since I been gone
Who you been loving since I been gone

Who's been playing around with you
A real cool cat with eyes of blue
Trifling baby are you being true
Who's been fooling around with you
Who's been fooling around with you

Somebody saw you at the break of day
Dining and a-dancing in the cabaret
He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red Cadillac and a black mustache
He held your hand and he sang you a song
Who you been loving since I been gone
Who you been loving since I been gone

Who's been playing around with you
A real cool cat with eyes of blue
Trifling baby are you being true
Who's been fooling around with you
Who's been fooling around with you

Somebody saw you at the break of day
Dining and a-dancing in the cabaret
He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red Cadillac and a black mustache
He held your hand and he sang you a song
Who you been loving since I been gone
Who you been loving since I been gone
