Review :
English review below Dyma gyfrol fach a fydd yn ateb y cwestiynau dyrys ynghylch cefndir y gân werin ‘Sosban Fach’, a pham y cafodd y gân ei chysylltu â thref Llanelli yn fwy nag ag unrhyw le arall. Adroddir hanes y dref honno a’i phwysigrwydd yn rhyngwladol ar ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg am gynhyrchu offer coginio tun, gan gynnwys sosbenni. Yn ogystal ceir hanes tref arall, sef Llanwrtyd, tref wledig yng nghefn gwlad Brycheiniog, lle mynn traddodiad yr ysgrifennwyd y gân enwog a ddaeth yn anthem i dîm rygbi Llanelli. Honnir mai yn Awst 1895 y datblygodd y gân, ar sail geiriau a gyhoeddwyd gyntaf gan y bardd Mynyddog mewn cyfrol a welodd olau dydd yn 1877. Ceir nifer o fersiynau gwahanol ohoni a chysylltir enw’r Parchedig D.M. Davies, a gŵr o’r enw Talog Williams, ag esblygiad y gân. Awgrymir dau bosibilrwydd gwahanol am Dai bach y sowldiwr: trempyn o gyn-filwr a roddodd ei enw i fferm Llety Dai Filwr ger Llanddarog neu, yn fwy tebygol, efallai y dylid diwygio’r geiriau yn ‘Dai bach y soldrwr’ o gofio am y sosbenni tun. Dangosir pwysigrwydd y gân yng nghylchoedd rygbi Llanelli cyn diweddu, a cheir amrywiaeth darluniadol i ychwanegu at werth y testun. * * * It is fitting that ‘Tinopolis’, or Llanelli, should be connected with the popular song ‘Sosban Fach’, and for over a century it was the town which led the world market in the production of steel and tinplate. It was also the town which supplied Woolworths with its Goat Brand kitchenware. However, another Welsh town has vied with Llanelli to be linked with the song. This is the sleepy spa town of Llanwrtyd Wells in Brecknockshire, and several pages of this booklet are spent explaining how the song was written by holidaymakers in August 1895, based on words which appeared first of all in Mynyddog’s book of poetry published in 1877. Several Welsh versions of the words are found throughout the booklet, as well as an attempt at an English translation. The last pages describe how the song has been adopted by the Llanelli Rugby Club at Stradey Park, becoming the theme tune of the Scarlets, and how it has also become the municipal anthem of Llanelli town.
