-Not far from Porthcawl, -in Central Glamorgan, South Wales. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |

-..who lived in Ty'r Sger -which is close to the school. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |

-But who was Y Ferch o'r Sger? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
-What is her story? | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
-Come and listen to our story, -Enwog o Fri, Ardal Ni. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
-Once upon a time, a long time ago... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-..it had been a very stormy night -at Ty'r Sger. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:34 | |
-Inside the house... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
-..Mary Williams -and Elizabeth Williams... | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
-..comforted each other. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-Their mother, Catherine Williams, -had died eight weeks earlier. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
-The two girls were sad -to lose their mother. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
-But the maid, Janet Leyshon, -was very kind to the girls. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-I'm scared, Janet. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-I'm scared, too. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
-There, there, girls. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
-There, there, girls. - -Where's Dad? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
-I want Dad. Where is he? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
-He's working late, Elizabeth. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
-He's always working -since Mam passed away. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
-Dad, Dad. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-Off to bed. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
-Mary and Elizabeth's father, Isaac, -was very sad... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-..after his wife's death. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
-He was worried about -finding money to fix the house... | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-..after years of storm damage. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-Earlier that day, -Ty'r Sger's servant, Mark Edwards... | 0:02:38 | 0:02:45 | |
-..had visited Isaac -full of excitement. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-Isaac Williams. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
-What's wrong? Do you have good news? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-Yes. A ship has hit the rocks. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-It's bound to sink. -It's full of cargo. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-We can sell it for a handsome price. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Plenty of money to renovate -Ty'r Sger. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-Keep your voice down in case -someone hears. It's a great idea. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-It was very stormy -as the waves lashed wildly... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
-..in the wind. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-Wave after wave after wave. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-Yes, the ship sank. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-Quietly and slyly... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-..Isaac and Mark crept down -to the beach. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
-Hush! | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
-They stole the cargo -hoping to sell it. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-Soon after, the rumours started... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-..that Isaac Williams had stolen -and hidden the ship's cargo. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:09 | |
-He was summoned to a court -in the village hall. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-Silence in court. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
-Isaac Williams, are you guilty of -stealing cargo from a French ship... | 0:04:17 | 0:04:24 | |
-..and hiding it in your home, -Ty'r Sger? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-No. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
-How could I place my daughters -in danger? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-Isaac Williams, you're a... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
-..free man. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
-This time - understand? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
-Yes. I understand. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-Elizabeth saw a handsome young man -with a harp on his lap. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-His name was Thomas Evans. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-They stared at each other -and smiled... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-..not knowing -they would meet again one day. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:13 | |
-Many years passed. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-One day, Elizabeth -was walking through the forest. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-She heard a beautiful melody -played by a harp. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-Who was playing the harp? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
-She walked towards the music. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-What lovely music. -You're a wonderful harp player. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-Who are you? -I'm sure we've met before somewhere. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
-You're right - in court. -I remember you clearly. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-How could I forget -such a beautiful face? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-Thank you. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-It was obvious -that both were in love. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-They arranged to meet at the Mabsant -Festival in Kenfig later that night. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:09 | |
-Elizabeth ran home... | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
-..full of hope for a night -of enjoyment and dancing... | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
-..with Thomas in the festival. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-The Mabsant Festival -was a party full of fun. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-Everyone enjoyed the violin music. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-Thomas noticed Elizabeth right away. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
-She was so beautiful. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
-He went to greet her. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-You look beautiful, Elizabeth. -Would you like to dance? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-Please, Thomas. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
-One, two, three. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-They danced the night -away together... | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
-..enjoying every moment -in each other's company. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-They were in love. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-Elizabeth was happy -for the first time in years. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-From that night onwards, -they met at every opportunity... | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
-..but there was one problem. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-Being with you is perfect but -we have to keep our love secret. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
-My father wants me to marry a -rich man but you're the one for me. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-You're the one for me too, -Elizabeth. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-Let us enjoy our time together. -No-one will see us here. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-# Thomas the harpist | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-# You're the one for me | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-# You light up my life -with your music | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
-# Wealth is more important -to my father | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-# He wants me to marry a rich man | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
-# What will I do? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-# Don't worry, sweetheart | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-# You're the one for me | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-# You light up my life -with your beauty | 0:08:10 | 0:08:16 | |

-# We will have -a bond of love forever # | 0:08:40 | 0:08:49 | |
-They were so happy together -but Mark Edwards was watching them. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
-Ty'r Sger's servant -spotted them one day. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-He was shocked to see Elizabeth -with the poor harpist. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-He ran straight to Isaac -to tell him what he had seen. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:11 | |
-I know everything -about you and that Thomas Evans. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
-A poor harpist -isn't good enough for you. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-You can never see him again. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-Never ever. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-Never ever. - -But Father, I am in love. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:34 | |
-Thomas Evans is the man for me. -I want to marry him. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-Marry? Marry? -There's only one thing for it. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-You can marry Thomas... Kirkhouse. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-Who on earth is Thomas Kirkhouse? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-An important and wealthy man -from Neath. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-He owns coalmines. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-Never ever. I love Thomas Evans. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-Go to your room and stay there. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-You will marry Thomas Kirkhouse -next Friday. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
-That's the end of the matter. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-The following Friday, -Elizabeth married Thomas Kirkhouse. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-Her wedding day -was a nightmare for her. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
-Elizabeth knew -she would never be happy again... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-..without Thomas the harpist. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-I will never forgive you for this. -Never. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-From that day onwards, -she never spoke to her father again. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-Her marriage to Thomas Kirkhouse -was a sad one. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
-Years later, Elizabeth -was shopping in Swansea Market. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
-She heard a familiar voice in -the hustle and bustle of the market. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
-Elizabeth recognised the voice -immediately. It was Thomas Evans. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
-He was singing about her. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
-Elizabeth fainted. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-The shock of seeing and hearing -Thomas was too much for her. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
-Elizabeth spent a fortnight in -front of the fire as she recovered. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:22 | |
-She became weaker and weaker. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-I have little time to live. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
-When I die, find Thomas and tell him -to sing my song to remember me by. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
-Hush. I'll certainly do that. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
-I will. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-That night, -Elizabeth died quietly in her sleep. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-Janet went to find Thomas -to share the sad news... | 0:11:48 | 0:11:54 | |
-..and asked him -to sing the song about Elizabeth. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
-I'll never forget her. -Elizabeth was my true love. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-I will remember her -each time I sing my song. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-A month later, in the Mabsant -Festival in Kenfig's town hall... | 0:12:06 | 0:12:12 | |
-..Thomas Evans -stood up in front of the audience... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
-..to sing a song. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
-Friends, I'd like to sing a song -that's close to my heart. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-A song about a girl -I will love forever. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-The girl from Ty'r Sger. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-# I'm a man -who lives under a penance | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-# I miss my true sweetheart | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
-# I love her more than anything | 0:12:39 | 0:12:45 | |
-# She won my heart | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
-# It's better to have loved and lost | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
-# Than never to have loved at all | 0:12:57 | 0:13:03 | |
-# Come to me happily, my sweetheart | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
-# I will love you forever more # | 0:13:08 | 0:13:14 | |
