Twmpath (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈtʊmpaθ]) is a Welsh word literally meaning a hump or tump, once applied to the mound or village green upon which the musicians sat and played for the community to dance. Twmpath dawns were organised by Urdd Gobaith Cymru in the late 1950s and 1960s, a form of barn dance, for the entertainment of young people, mainly from rural areas. These events remained popular until the rise of discos in the 1970s. Twmpath is used today to mean a Welsh version of the barn dance or céilidh.

DIME
mar en calma en un atardecer y todo buelbe a ser
como era entonces
juego con la arena entre mis pies
dibujando sin querer , tu nombre.
cuantas veces te llame en la noche?
cuantas veces te busque?
por mis recuerdos, yo buelvo y no pierdo la fé
dime que es lo que puedo hacer
como te puedo tener?
en mi vida
vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
sin mentiras
dime que es lo que puedo hacer como te puedo tener
en mi vidaaaaaaaaaaaaa ohhhhhh ohhhhh
me han contado que tu estas igual
y que te sientes mal como yo
no permitas que el orgullo sea
el que decida por los dos
porque tu sabes que te quiero y todo lo que dije no es verdad
deja tus miedos,podemos,si quieres bolverlo a intentar
dime que es lo que puedo hacer como te puedo tener?
en mi vidaaaaaaaaaaaa
que tu y yo sabemos que no podemos vivir a siiiiii
buelve junto a miiiiiiiii
dime que es lo que puedo hacer
como te puedo tener?
en mi vidaaaaaaaa ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhh
dime dimelo,....
