Bizarrely, most people playing this song seem to be violinists?

With the lyrics "egg colored smile", it could be a psychedelic Beatles song. But it's a Welsh folk song.

So this giant sat on a mountain to watch the stars. That's how Chair of Idris got its name. But its Cadair in Welsh.

I should probably learn some Welsh, if not just to figure out how to pronounce some of these: Hefredoll?
Haifridull?
Herfridol?

The Queen's Marsh, which for some reason always sticks in my head as the Queen's March. Lovely tune, but definitely not a march.
