hope the harder, courage the keener

So I tried to find the lyrics for "Llatai," by the Welsh folk band Fernhill, but unfortunately I could not, and my extremely limited knowledge of Welsh is far insufficient to transcribe it, much less translate it. However, I do recognize the song's title, "llatai," which translates into English as "love-messenger" and is both a poetic genre and the subject of that genre. The poet will describe and address, through metaphor and riddle, the messenger, often a bird, which is to bear a message to their love. Though technically a genre of love poems, the beloved need not even be named; the focus is on the llatai, the messenger, and the message it is to bear.

edit: a bunch of this song is in french lol
