Furthermore, it is such a pity that patriotism comes with such programmed anger and hatred. That's why it was created: to divide and conquer because, together as nations we are strong, separated people fight amongst themselves and are easily controllable by those who wish to do so. It is much better to think for yourself.
There are a few differences in the lyrics I learned. I first sang this when I was 8 and I'm singing it tonight age 57! I find it very moving as an anthem. I was the only one in my class who could pronounce the words, or sing when a singing teacher visited our school! All languages are unique by the way (not "very unique" - that's like being very dead!). It would be a good thing to add new words to the Welsh language instead of interspersing it with English words, though.
@danielsauntiejo i was born in england but brought up by my welsh parents, having the welsh national anthem sung to you since the first day you leave the hospital, i speak both welsh and english. its welsh blood that runs through me but its the english roads that i live on. who actually cares where your from? it shouldnt matter. and chachi bant means fuck off for you english folk ;)
Im english and very proud to be but what some of you welsh people say about us english is quite hurtful. I also hav to admit that yes we say some bad things as well, but not all of us! Wales is a great country England is unique and a great country but sometimes people make it sound shit when it isnt so just think about what your typin aka danielsauntiejo and VeryPROUDWelshGirl
this is the worst way ever to learn the welsh national anthem! And also you missed all of the most important parts out too! How is anyone gonna be able to learn the anthem with that video?
I am welsh, and i learned it easily, and well done it you learn this, and people who dislike this, either are welsh, and don't like how you wrote the words out, or it's people who can't pronounce it
I am not going to click like neither will I click dislike, because the idea is good in order to help none welsh speakers to sing their national anthem problem is it's not well done. As a welsh speaker & someone who knows the song, in this clip half the per se words are missing, so really with this as a tool, one would be exactly that when the moment comes to sing the anthem, one would really feel like a TOOL, as everyone else carried on singing the student of this would come to a PIT stop.
Im English, and Wales happens to be one of my favourite teams. There so nice, and not stuckup at all. So English people, dont say things about Wales and there country you know why? Wales is BETTER then England. End of story.

@VeryPROUDWelshGirl I get where you're coming from, but there's no need to get snippy. I want to MOVE to Wales. I'm not anywhere near the country, geographically speaking. But I do think I belong there. You'll see me one of these days in a shop or something, and I expect a "hello"

Got to be brief... Welsh is not a single language any more than English is. Welsh is not irregular. It is entirely phonetic and can be read by someone without ever having heard a word of Welsh spoken assuming they understand how the alphabet sounds. The same cannot be said of English. Ancient Greek and Old English are similar ages but they bare no similarity to the modern equivalents. The lyrics appear phonetically quite accurate assuming the reader uses an English alphabet, not Welsh. [phew!]
This is a bit poo, really. Shame so many people have seen it - hope they don't use this as a basis for them learning our National song. Amazed by the ignorance some people have of the Welsh language and people. Silly really considering we're all really immigrants - Saxons, Celts, before them the Welsh, before them ... God knows who. Big love people ... be proud of where you come from and respectful of all nationalities.
the welsh tongue is difficult to grasp for some people, i know the national anthem but looking at this just made it hard to understand, you can't really use english to prununciate welsh.
I dont understand the hatred between two countries that are so close.
First off i can understand there being rivalry and a bit of banter but at the end of the day we both got brought up in the same sort of fashion! Every world and euros i want Wales, Scotland and Ireland to go through because it makes it a British occassion!

i learnt it in english and welsh when i was 7 years old. easy peasy. haha x
LMFAO, I'm sorry Welsh person, but you obviously can't spell properly, you'd be aware that the word properly doesn't have a double P and offence is spelt with an "o" not an "a". Still, thats given me the best laugh I've had in a long time, so many thanks.
soz but thats the welsh way. did any body tell u that the welsh are dislexik init? obviously not... tnx 4 replying ny way tt4n !!! from " THE WELSH PERSON ".
I for one have no intention of going "home" to Ireland, given that historically it's where Gaels come from. I'm extremely proud of Gaelic culture, and Welshmen (and women) have every right to be just as proud of theirs. Both countries have played a prominent role in creating Britain today, and I have no intention of abandoning that pride. So why don't YOU go home?... Oh, I forgot.. You love Brasil too much.. You're PROUD.
@Xerdocreisson I'm not Welsh, I'm a Gael, but as such I agree wih everyone here in saying: don't talk about the ethnicity of other peoples when you're not from there. Welsh and Gaels have all worked for years to get recognition of their culture as part of a national identity. Welsh and Gaelic culture is a huge part of Britain today, and you're telling us to pack our bags and go "home"?!
@Xerdocreisson. Chan eil mi daoine Cuimreach idir, tha mi nam Gael, ach tha mi a'cordadh ribh a h-uile daoine eil.e seo. Chan eil raisean sam bith idir airson a radh rudan mu-dheidhinn na cul cinneadh nuair a tha sibh fhein nach eil bhon na duthaich a tha sibhse a bhruidhinn mu-dheidhinn.

I'm sorry, but this is a crap {if well meaning} attempt at the stated objective. As an ex-pat living in Egypt, I have a hard enough time explaining Wales and the language. This doesn't help at all.
I was born in England my chiledhood was horrible at the age of 8 i moved 2 Wales with my mum and my brother. i have lived in Wales now for 9 years and tho i don't no much welsh i no a bit about there history. why insalt this great country when you can come here and see the most beatyfullest mountians in the world some of the most kindest people in the world and the thing i like best the great Valleys of Wales. all an all if i could have grown up anywere in the world Wales would be the place.
@Welshboydan I must say your comment is a wonderful thing to read - I am almost the same as you, I too was born in England - in fact in London but had Welsh parents - now both dead - but it is true that Wales has a wonderous landscape that burns within your very soul with people that stay in your eyes and I wish I could have grown up there, I still have a yearning for the land I knew of my parents, grandparents - it never leaves you!
@Welshboydan I am immensely impressed by Welshboydan's attitude. I am Australian born but would rather live in Wales than anywhere in the world. Good on you lad for showing your love of the beautiful country of Wales!
@Welshboydan I'm asian and I have been living in wales for a few months now, the views are breathtaking and people so nice, glad I decided to move to wales, next thing I need to do is learn some welsh
I'm american, but my boyfriend is welsh...He's teaching me to speak welsh and its not easy at all. But seriously xerdoncreisson.....there is no need to go and bash other country's. Have some respect.
Fel 'n waedlyd anturia 'ch. Cerddi yn coddi 'm bau a 'na bechi englan cystal. u ca got rhyw nerf. A dybi ach 'ch dont hyd yn oed adnabod ddim am 'r Cymraeg fel jyst caea i fyny alright.
How bloody dare you. You go offending my country and then you offend englan as well. u have got some nerve. Who do you think you are you dont even know anything about the welsh language so just shut up alright.
I'd leave those online translators alone if I were you, they'll never be able coherently to translate English into what is a very irregular, idiomatic and idiosyncratic language. Just learn the language.
BTW, if you misspell an English word a translator will just spew it back unaltered, so try England (with the terminal "d") and you'll probably get Lloegr.
Xerdocreisson r u seriously sujesting that all other enthinicites apart from the celtics should leave. THATS STUPID if this was the case nearlly all of america and ocieania would have to come back to europe great plan humans will migrate to different land its natural if we all had this attitued the human race would never adventure. Dont get me wrong were full now
@Ondergard Actually, it is a dialect of ancient brythonic, spoken by gaulish immigrants that went into brittain. There were like five or six, more if you count ireland, different dialects in the island, but only two, the manx and Welsh, survived till modern days.
There are of course, Irish and Scottish, but in antiquity the Caledonians weren't celt, the scots only got into there much after, and Ireland grew apart Brittain.
So now you've commented on just about every ethnicity in the history of the British Isles, would you kindly tell us where you are from so some of us can pull your ethnic and cultural background to pieces and tell you to go back from whence you came?
@azonicone Yes, I descend from portuguese and I would be glad to leave my country, that is Brasil, but our ethnicy is totally mixed, so there is no real way to see my background, cause every Brasilian is a little portuguese, black and indian at the same time.
If I didn't lovewd Brasil so much I would gladly go to Portugal.
@Ondergard Welsh Europe's oldest lang? Bullshit. R wy'n dysgu Sbaeneg ar hyn o bryd ac rwy'n sylwi fod testunau sy'n dyddio o gyfnod y Tuduriaid bron yn union fel Sbaeneg gyfoes tra bod stwff Cymraeg o'r un cyfnod bron ym annealladwy!
@Ondergard As a speaker I'd love to believe it but this is a myth!. Welsh isn't the oldest language in Europe. Greek goes far far further back into recorded time. The earliest Welsh literature, which is the earliest post Roman literature in Western Europe and perhaps the origin of the myth, is the Gododdin which although known from a later copy documents a battle in around 600 AD. Ancient Greek is recorded in Linear B script on Crete around 3500 years ago. Far earlier.
@pilipalod You can't really count Ancient Greek because it is a dead language, it only resembles modern Greek in name. Ancient Greek is to Modern Greek what Latin is to Italian. In a Welsh context, Ancient Greek is to Modern Greek what Brythoneg is to Welsh. In this context, it is still debatable whether Welsh is the oldest, but it is certainly ONE of the oldest living languages, being relatively unchanged in 1500 years. The fact that we can read old Welsh, despite the differences in spelling
@pilipalod proves this fact, not many modern languages go back that far, all the Romance languages were still Latin at that point and English, along with all the other Germanic languages were still dialects of Old High German. Medieval Greek was begining to develop in this period, but although we can see parts of modern Greek emerging in medieval Greek, it was still closer to ancient then modern Greek and takes a great deal of study even for a modern native Greek speaker to read pre-14th C. Grek
Car is short for carriage and comes direct from French. It is a pure borrow word, from English, just like that other "Welsh" word for car, modur. (mod-irr)
@Ondergard Actually car was borrowed from French, which is a descendant of Latin. Latin took it from Gaulish, which was a Celtic language, so Welsh ”carr” is indeed a cognate, but that’s not where the English found it.
@Ondergard Latin "carrus"; French "char"; Old Norman-French "car". And the Welsh word "pons" came from the Latin or the French too. Otherwise I agree with what you say.
@Ondergard Hello from Brittany. I get your point but except for "car": nor English, nor Welsh, or else. You find this word everywhere in Europe. "Carro" in Portuguese and Spanish,"Karre(n)" in German, "char" or "charrette" in French, "karr" in Breton, "carretta" or "carrus" in Latin, "karros" in Gaulish, and so on. A word older than Welsh or English, from an Indo-European root.
@hanterkant - Bonsoir, mon ami! C'est vrai, le mot "car" n'est pas un mot Gallois: mais certainement, il n'etait jamais un mot Angalis! C'est un mot universale, n'est ce pas?
Et maintenant, mon petit Francais est épuisés! Salut!

@Ondergard welsh being the world's oldest language is something said by ppl who can't speak it and don't know what they're on about. Any Spanish person can read a book written 500 years ago in his language but a Welsh person like me could never say the same for his language. just thought I'd put that fact straight.
No, it remembers german maybe because Wales had a lot of Germanic/Escandinavian Influence in Middle Ages, but it comes from Briton Celtic, like the dialect of Cornwall and Ireland.
Welsh looks like a really hard language! I'd love to learn it, but I don't know anyone who speaks it. I am part Welsh, though I have never been there, I love the country and it's language!
Dwi'n Cymro, ond....Oh sod it English [yeuch!].... I learnt the National Anthem this way; just a taster; ''My hen laid a tractor, a hen named Amy[eeeeee] A golly, a roller. Glad tranny not meeee!'' Sorry to the Cymru Cymraeg, but I love being Welsh and love being so easy going as to be able to 'rip' myself and my people! Dwi'n Cymro! Cymru Am Byth...xxxx Cofioch Meibion Glyndwr! Ac cofioch 1282 xxxxx
Are you mental? I'm of Welsh decent and despite the battles for who's truth is the real truth, and whos beliefs are the real beliefs, there is nothing wrong with England. The problem doesn't lay within the country my miss-understood friend, the problem is from the people fighting to solidify their idealistics as what is right rather than being compassionate to individuals for their individuality. The issue, is "control freaks"
Welcome to Earth POP 6Billion. We live on the same rock, get along.
Englishmen are invasor in Britain, it does not belongs to them, it belongs to Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Man, there are also many other ethnicies, but they were all erased by the english, they should all go back to escandinavia, those damned Norman-Anglo-Saxonic bastards.
btw that not the lyrics to the welsh natinol anthem and i should no that cuz i live in wales i go to a welsh school and i can speach welsh fluently if i wanted 2 so i think you should try to get the welsh natinol anthem with the right lyrics or send me an email and ill be sure to give you the CORRECT lyrics!
Any chance of making them just LOOK like English words.. I know that kids can take those classes were they get shown how the words get spoken and then they learn how to write them..
hey theat dirispectin the welsh language and the welsh you wouldunt like it if i called the english sumthing like that so shut your face i bet you dun know a bit of welsh
i'm English and I love the Welsh. My husband and children are Welsh and I've lived in Wales for over 30 years. However, I still can't sing all of the anthem without fluffing parts. Thought this phonetic way might have helped.
did you know that the only army that the romans feared was the celtic army (old name for welsh tribes) as they where near fearless and would happly die for their land
errr... giggedy52, actually the Celts lived thoughout the British Isles and were only pushed to the edges by the Romans (and other invaders), so the Scots Welsh and Cornish were really the last bastions of Celtish life.
Furthermore, it is such a pity that patriotism comes with such programmed anger and hatred. That's why it was created: to divide and conquer because, together as nations we are strong, separated people fight amongst themselves and are easily controllable by those who wish to do so. It is much better to think for yourself.

First off i can understand there being rivalry and a bit of banter but at the end of the day we both got brought up in the same sort of fashion! Every world and euros i want Wales, Scotland and Ireland to go through because it makes it a British occassion!

I for one have no intention of going "home" to Ireland, given that historically it's where Gaels come from. I'm extremely proud of Gaelic culture, and Welshmen (and women) have every right to be just as proud of theirs. Both countries have played a prominent role in creating Britain today, and I have no intention of abandoning that pride. So why don't YOU go home?... Oh, I forgot.. You love Brasil too much.. You're PROUD.

@Xerdocreisson I'm not Welsh, I'm a Gael, but as such I agree wih everyone here in saying: don't talk about the ethnicity of other peoples when you're not from there. Welsh and Gaels have all worked for years to get recognition of their culture as part of a national identity. Welsh and Gaelic culture is a huge part of Britain today, and you're telling us to pack our bags and go "home"?!

I'd leave those online translators alone if I were you, they'll never be able coherently to translate English into what is a very irregular, idiomatic and idiosyncratic language. Just learn the language.
BTW, if you misspell an English word a translator will just spew it back unaltered, so try England (with the terminal "d") and you'll probably get Lloegr.

Xerdocreisson,
Welsh isn't a DIALECT, it is a separate language - the oldest continuously spoken language in Europe.
Words which appear borrowed from English (like "car") are actually Welsh words imported into English centuries ago, then re-imported by Welsh!

@Ondergard Actually, it is a dialect of ancient brythonic, spoken by gaulish immigrants that went into brittain. There were like five or six, more if you count ireland, different dialects in the island, but only two, the manx and Welsh, survived till modern days.
There are of course, Irish and Scottish, but in antiquity the Caledonians weren't celt, the scots only got into there much after, and Ireland grew apart Brittain.
But it is of course, the oldest continuous!
Wish I could talk it!

@Ondergard As a speaker I'd love to believe it but this is a myth!. Welsh isn't the oldest language in Europe. Greek goes far far further back into recorded time. The earliest Welsh literature, which is the earliest post Roman literature in Western Europe and perhaps the origin of the myth, is the Gododdin which although known from a later copy documents a battle in around 600 AD. Ancient Greek is recorded in Linear B script on Crete around 3500 years ago. Far earlier.
pilipalod 1 year ago
@pilipalod You can't really count Ancient Greek because it is a dead language, it only resembles modern Greek in name. Ancient Greek is to Modern Greek what Latin is to Italian. In a Welsh context, Ancient Greek is to Modern Greek what Brythoneg is to Welsh. In this context, it is still debatable whether Welsh is the oldest, but it is certainly ONE of the oldest living languages, being relatively unchanged in 1500 years. The fact that we can read old Welsh, despite the differences in spelling
converter7 1 year ago
@pilipalod proves this fact, not many modern languages go back that far, all the Romance languages were still Latin at that point and English, along with all the other Germanic languages were still dialects of Old High German. Medieval Greek was begining to develop in this period, but although we can see parts of modern Greek emerging in medieval Greek, it was still closer to ancient then modern Greek and takes a great deal of study even for a modern native Greek speaker to read pre-14th C. Grek

Car is short for carriage and comes direct from French. It is a pure borrow word, from English, just like that other "Welsh" word for car, modur. (mod-irr)

@Ondergard TOSH!
pootlenodrog21 1 year ago
@Ondergard Actually car was borrowed from French, which is a descendant of Latin. Latin took it from Gaulish, which was a Celtic language, so Welsh ”carr” is indeed a cognate, but that’s not where the English found it.

@Ondergard Latin "carrus"; French "char"; Old Norman-French "car". And the Welsh word "pons" came from the Latin or the French too. Otherwise I agree with what you say.
irateofwatford 1 year ago
@Ondergard Hello from Brittany. I get your point but except for "car": nor English, nor Welsh, or else. You find this word everywhere in Europe. "Carro" in Portuguese and Spanish,"Karre(n)" in German, "char" or "charrette" in French, "karr" in Breton, "carretta" or "carrus" in Latin, "karros" in Gaulish, and so on. A word older than Welsh or English, from an Indo-European root.

@Ondergard welsh being the world's oldest language is something said by ppl who can't speak it and don't know what they're on about. Any Spanish person can read a book written 500 years ago in his language but a Welsh person like me could never say the same for his language. just thought I'd put that fact straight.

Are you mental? I'm of Welsh decent and despite the battles for who's truth is the real truth, and whos beliefs are the real beliefs, there is nothing wrong with England. The problem doesn't lay within the country my miss-understood friend, the problem is from the people fighting to solidify their idealistics as what is right rather than being compassionate to individuals for their individuality. The issue, is "control freaks"
