The version I had (Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson, editor) has extensive notes and a modern English translation of all the extant texts. However, the texts are so broken up with notes that I would not recommend this edition to people who just want to read the poem.

Y Gododdin: Britain's Oldest Heroic Poem (Welsh Classics)by A. O. H. Jarman: An excellent edition with Welsh and English on facing pages, this is the one I turn to first of the six versions I have. It includes 116 pages of introduction, a full glossary of Welsh words, and a list of the heroes' names. (
