The Mabinogion

In a previous thread that I started, I mentioned that I'm currently undergoing a project of writing a Fäerie story. I'm still trying to decide whether or not the Fäerie language should be closer to Welsh or Scots gaelic (as it takes place on the British isle, not Ireland). In the meantime I'd like to find some sources of Welsh or Gaelic song and poetry for inspiration.

One of which, as a professor recommended, is the Mabinogion. So, for those who are familiar with this collection, I was wondering if you knew of any publication that had a duel verse--both Welsh and English. Some that I have found are just the English translation, but surely there is one that holds both.

If any can tell me so, and which publication, I'd be greatly thankful. :)

I don't think I've ever seen a dual text of it, to be honest.
Might there be any recordings of Welsh folk songs in cymric?
