Wish I could come up with a profound, incisive comment like maple1212, but it would drain all the energy from my brain. You two give a beautiful harmonic rendition...and really helpful to an old guy who likes to sing and wants to learn Welsh songs. Take requests? Can you do Llwyn Onn in duet?
I'm only beginning my 3rd lesson at SaySomethinginWelsh. com and this was really helpful in how to form the words. Diolch! and besides that, you girls just sing a lovely song. great voices! Da iawn ti!
Da iawn...Lovely, you show that old traditional songs can be reworked sensitively and you clearly enjoyed performing on this recording. It was great to watch. Keep smiling...! Alun
Thanks so much. My great grandmother came to America when she was 7, and she sang on the ship to make money. All her family settled in a small town and worked as miners. They had red hair, fiery tempers and lives center on the church. When I heard these stories, no knew knew that these are stereotypical Welsh qualities and it wasn't till years later that I learned that music, mining, short tempers and the church are all the marks of this proud people. Some day I'll learned Welsh!
My gran has been wanting me to learn a Welsh song for yrs. Despite being born in Australia, she and her sister maragaret always used to speak welsh... but with time, they lost it. So I spent a few hrs on the net listening to Meinir, and I learned Ar Hyd Y Nos. I called my Grandma and sang it over the phone. She was in tears. Thanks so much Meinir. Ps. She now wants me to learn Cwm Rhondda but I can't find a clear recording of it in Welsh anywhere. Any ideas?
I need a Welsh name? How odd. Anyway, I've never heard of JOon being Welsh, here are some better ones - Gwylym, Rhys, Myrthyn (possibly Merlin the Wizards real name, but the spelling got altered over time - pesky English), Owain, Dai (pronounced die), Geraint, and Rhiannon, Llynos for the girls. So Rolf, where you from that makes you want a Welsh name?
This is fantastic. Nice one.

While you're looking for Cwm Rhondda, learn Calon Lan. Your gran will be in tears again.

I'm so spellbound by everything Welsh.
I need a Welsh name. If anyone can help me out with that, I'd be very thankful. My Welsh is restricted to "Diolch" and "Sut dych chi."

Hoped this helped!

Some parents in Wales are starting to call their daughters 'Seren', which is the Welsh word for Star (as in a star in space, not a pop star).

It's the old Welsh song, Ar Hyd Y Nos. Translated into English, it's "All Through the Night." It's a truly beautiful lullaby.
