Welsh National Anthem



If you learn the first two stanzas, then you will be prepared to sing the Welsh National Anthem at any Rugby game!

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
Land of My Fathers

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

(chorus)
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Translation: one of several that you can find on Wikipedia Land of My Fathers The land of my fathers, the land of my choice,
The land in which poets and minstrels rejoice;
The land whose stern warriors were true to the core,
While bleeding for freedom of yore.

(chorus)
Wales! Wales! fav'rite land of Wales!
While sea her wall, may naught befall
To mar the old language of Wales.

....maybe you all have heard it, but one of my favorite versions is by Bryn Terfel... stunning.... it's available on itunes... I think, if I recall correctly, it is on his We'll Keep a Welcome cd (which actually has 2 versions, the long and the short version)....

Here's an excerpt from BBC Wales...

These are the words to the Welsh national anthem, spelt phonetically. [in English]

Learn them and sing your heart out at rugby games and special events!

My hen oo-lad vurr n'had-die un ann-wil ee mee
goo-lard bay-rdd* a ch**ann-tor-eon
enn wog eon o vree
ane goo-rol ruvv-el-weir
goo-lard gar-weir tra mard
dross rudd*-id cor-ll***ar-sant ay goo-eyed.

Goo-lard, goo-lard
played-eeyol weave eem goo-lard
tra more un beer, ear beer horff bye
O budd*-ed eer hen ee-eye-th bar hi.


*There are two "th" sounds in Welsh as there are in English but in Welsh, they are spelled differently."Th" in Welsh is pronounced as in English "think" or "fourth". "Dd" is pronounced as in "this" or "that".

** "ch" is pronounced as in "loch" or "Bach"

*** "ll" is a cross between an "l" and an "s"
