The only confusing bit is 'bury' which some englanders will pronounce as borry and others as berry ... The correct form is berry as in canter berry as it is a southern town so demands the southern pronunciation

CANT-uh-berry is how I pronounce it.

I'm not saying that's the conventional way of pronouncing it, but it might be. I don't know.

Not being a Welsh speaker myself I wonder if that is perhaps too literal a translation...

It should be said in one's best Robert Wyatt voice, so first you have to inhale some helium and get someone to kick you in the balls right as you say it.
