Cigfa ferch Gwyn Glohoyw (Middle Welsh: Kigua) is a minor character in Welsh mythology, the wife of King Pryderi of Dyfed. She is mentioned briefly in the First Branch of the Mabinogi, and appears more prominently in the third. Describing the character, Proinsias Mac Cana writes: "Cigfa strikes one as a slight though effective vignette of a contemporary bourgeois snob while William John Gruffydd hypothesises that the character was a later addition to the tale."John Rhys suggested a connection between Cigfa and the Irish character Ciochba.
After ascending to the throne of Dyfed, Pryderi searches for a wife and marries Cigfa, whose ancestry is recorded as "Cigfa, daughter of Gwyn Glohoyw, son of Gloyw Walltlydan, son of Casnar Wledig". A similar lineage can be found in Bonedd y Saint, in which a saint named Mechyll fab Echwys is the grandson of Gwyn Glohoyw and great-grandson of Gloyw Walltlydan. Cigfa herself is not mentioned in the genealogy.
Some time after their marriage, Pryderi leaves Dyfed to fight under Bendigeidfran in Ireland. He is one of only seven warriors to survive the battle, and returns home with Manawydan, rightful king of Britain, whom he married to his mother Rhiannon. The four friends live happily until they ascend the mound at Gorsedd Arberth and the kingdom turns into a barren wasteland, and all of its inhabitants disappear except for the four members of Pryderi's family.
Rhiannon is a major and classic figure in the earliest prose literature and mythology of Britain, the Mabinogi. This is a set of tales classified as Celtic or British mythology, Welsh literature, Welsh mythology. This earliest prose literature of Britain was compiled c. 1100 in mediaeval Wales from earlier oral traditions. It is culturally prominent in literary, mythological or Welsh circles today, known worldwide in English translations.
The Mabinogi is made up of Four Branches, or nodes. It is published on its own but also forms part of a larger collection known as the Mabinogion. The Mabinogion is a name based on an old mediaeval scribal error in the original manuscripts.
Rhiannon features prominently in these earliest British prose texts which survive in three mediaeval manuscripts. The oldest complete version of the Mabinogi is in Llyfr Gwyn (The White Book of Rhydderch). There is also a fragmentary manuscript known as Peniarth 6 which includes a little of Rhiannon's story. Both these manuscripts are now held at NLW (the National Library of Wales. Another later copy is in Llyfr Coch (The Red Book of Hergest), a manuscript now held at Jesus College, Oxford.

This song reflects the tale from the third cycle of Welsh's epic Mabinogion, about Pryderi and his mother, Rhiannon, who succumbed into a curse planted by the old foe of Pryderi's father. Pryderi, the son of the Horse Goddess Rhiannon, succeeded his father Pwyll as the Chieftain of Dyfed. When he was throwing a banquet celebrating his mother's marriage with the Sea God's son Manawydan, there was a peal of thunder and mist fell.

Did the fire even spark?
Yes, it's true, you control my heart
Even though about this is not right (?)
I'll leave alone with you tonight
Make my words go away
I'll kill this love and fade away
I feel so alone, I can't be free
(?) used to the end of me
Nothing can last forever
Suicide could be the answer (x2)
I can't even breathe
Space around me is starting freeze
Climbing stars, now I see the light
Taking me, telling me goodnight
Is this the end, cease of being?
My future is so easy to see
All this gone, all this gone
All this gone, all this gone
Nothing can last forever
