Stuff Christmas – Not The Turkey

The YouTube Christmas treat from the Super Furry Animals channel is the original video as aired by S4C as part of their advent calendar show a few years back where Welsh celebrities were given a few minutes to do something festive.

Gruff was described as having something of a ‘bah humbug’ attitude!

The song was originally released by Anhrefn on a cassette…

The lyrics are as follows:
Dyma’r diwrnod i bawb anghofio
Dyma’r diwrnod i beidio malio
Codi’n fuan i agor anrhegion
A miloedd yn y byd yn methu cael digon

Rhaid mynd i’r capel i weddio
Dros y rhai sy’n dioddef a chrio
Smalio poeni, ond dim go iawn
Achos amser cinio bydd ein boliau yn llawn

Stwffiwch y Dolig, ddim y twrci

Y twrci druan wedi’i stwffio
Dim ond esgus i gael mwydro
Cyfiawnhau lladd er mwyn dathlu Crist
Ond i’r twrci druan mae’n Nadolig trist

Bywyd twrci yn gorffen ar y plat
Gweddillion yn llogi ar y grat
Angladd Cristnogol i’r twrci druan
Gobeithio fod amser te’n dod yn fuan

Stwffiwch y Dolig, ddim y twrci

“Stwffiwch y Nadolig, ddim y twrci
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i chi
Amen”

===

which roughly translated means:

Heres the day for everyone to forget
Heres the day not to care
Get up early to open presents
And thousands in the world cant get enough

Must go to the chapel to pray
For those who suffer and cry
Pretend to worry, but not really
Because at lunch time our bellies will be full

Stuff Christmas, not the turkey

The poor turkey has been stuffed
Only an excuse to moider
Justify killing in order to celebrate Christ
But for the poor turkey its a sad Christmas

The turkeys life is ending on the plate
Leftovers are burning on the grate
A Christian funeral for the poor turkey
Hope that tea times coming soon

Stuff Christmas, not the turkey

Stuff Christmas, not the turkey
Happy New Year to you
Amen
