   I speak Welsh fluently, and if you’re trying to say ‘Life goes on’ it should be ‘Mae bywyd yn mynd ymlaen’.

   Phonetically, Mae bywyd yn mynd yn ei flaen would be:
   "Mai bhow-id un mihnd un ey vlain"

   ‘Mae bywyd yn mynd ymlaen’ would be:
   "Mai bhow-id un mihnd um-line"

   Hope I helped.

   the girl might be fluent in welsh . but it’s my first language… and it’s right.

   I think you asked for a translation and i gave you that option too (so i guess she is right in that sense) but this i stated was the more correct way of saying.

   I would have chosen this version anyway…

   Migh (as in might) buh-widd (wid like with mixed with squid) un(like under) min-d (like mint but with a d) un ey vlah-een

   “Mae bywyd yn mynd yn ei flaen”

   “Mah/i(n) buh/wid un min(t)/d un a/e vlah/en(d)”.

   The letters in brackets are to help with the pronunciation of the preceding or subsequent letters. The slashes mark sound changes.
