I'm sorry to be bothersome but can anyone tell me the name of the Welsh song that Joan Lorring sings in the movie. I tried looking at the soundtrack page, but it has been a while since I've seen the movie and I cannot remember the name.
share"There's My Sweetheart" aka "Dcaw 'Nghariad"
Here's a version of it on YouTube:

Here are the lyrics:
Dacw ‘Nghariad
Dacw 'nghariad i lawr yn y berllan,
Tw rymdi ro rymdi radl idl al.
O na bawn i yno fy hunan,
Tw rymdi ro rymdi radl idl al.
Dacw'r ty, a dacw'r 'sgubor;
Dacw ddrws y beudy'n agor.
Ffaldi radl idl al, ffaldi radl idl al,
Tw rymdi ro rymdi radl idl al.
Dacw’r dderwen wych ganghennog,
Golwg arni sydd far serchog.
Mi arhosaf yn ei chysgod
Nes daw ‘nghariad i ‘ngyfarfod.
Dacw'r delyn, dacw'r tannau;
Beth wyf gwell, heb neb i'w chwarae?
Dacw'r feinwen hoenus fanwl;
Beth wyf nes heb gael ei meddwl?
There Is My Love
There is my love down in the orchard,
Tw rymdi ro rymdi radl idl al.
Oh how I wish I were there myself,
Tw rymdi ro rymdi radl idl al.
There is the house and there is the barn;
There is the door of the cow house open.
Ffaldi radl idl al, ffaldi radl idl al,
Tw rymdi ro rymdi radl idl al.
There is the gallant, branching oak,
A vision, lovingly crowned.
I will wait in her shade
Until my love comes to meet me.
There is the harp, there are her strings;
What better am I, without anyone to play her for?
There’s the delicate fair one, exquisite and full of life;
What nearer am I, without having her attention?

Oh, how funny!
You'll be pleased to know that this is EXACTLY what I was searching for, today, and here it is: my question, and a more thorough answer than I could have hoped for!
How delightful!
Thank you for asking it, and thank you for answering it!
I've always loved this song, as well as other Welsh ones. I play the bowed psaltery and always am listening for more songs to add to my repertoire. This is on my list of "to learn". I already play "Ash Grove", "Suo Gan", "Sosban (or Sospan) Fach", and "The Rising of the Lark". There are so many beautiful, cheerful and even haunting melodies from Wales.

Her song sounded East European or Yiddish. Wonderful thanks so much fir the words.
It was a toss-up whether I go in for diamonds or sing in the choir. The choir lost.
