Cornish Anthem

[Welshcornish]

If Kernow is going to be a seprate nation we are going to have to lean on some one's shoulder, that hopfully will be Wales or Brittany for not just a war but in financial reasons as well as help with getting our fishing and mining industries back on track, not to mention getting a national government. I this does happen but Kernow must above all keep its soverenty and not join the E.U.

[JordoF6]

@Welshcornish Ireland will always be there for our celtic brothers and sisters.

[cornubian]

We are circulating a petition calling on the government to recognise the Cornish as a National minority. It has been created by a Cornish person who is not a member of any political party or organisation but who is very concerned at what is happening in Cornwall. Please sign it and pass it on to your friends. We want to protect what there is left before all is lost !:

"When you cross the Tamar, into this promised land, theres one thing to remember, one thing to understand. Cornwall is a Cournty, the land we love the best"

[captainhazzard]

This isn't The Song of the Western Men, its called "HARRY'S SONG FOR CORNWALL". It was written by Harry Glasson, he's one of the Cape Cornwall Singers.

[HellenicCharge]

Britain for a republic, forget all sub nation's (including england), just north south east, west central, far north, Languages: English, Some kind of generic celtic, Republic, written constitution, modern western state in EU but resisting EU supranational ambitions (yes EU we arnt that stupid we no what your up to ;) ) Simple, Strong.

[ejr161]

@HellenicCharge 'some kind of generic celtic'.. no... just no...

[SeniorSuperstud]

The original title of the song now known as "Trelawny" is "The song of the Western Men." But it is NOT the anthem of Cornwall, it never has been, and it never will be. The true anthem of Cornwall is a different song entirely, it is called "Bro Goth Agan Tasow" and it is NEVER sung in English.

[alunhughes147]

Many thanks to our Cornish brothers and fellow Celts for this Cornish Anthem.

[avalonadam]

A fantastic song from a fantastic region of Britian but the comments below make me wonder about the mentality of some people who view this. Sure Saxons , normans etc they all conquered England but WAKE UP this is 2010. Are we not past these pathetic differences. I love seeing people celebrating their culture, but please , the UK has enough problems without creating 900 plus year conflicts

[3tangle3]

so much ignorance....england is not cornwall and vice versa......devon is from the welsh dyfnaint but these englush people raised on saturday morning TV think the engish are the first ever ppl on earth its fooking ridiculous

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 You forced the Saxons to come to Britian, When the Romans left you shouldn't have total exterminated the brits. You Forced them to call for help, they had to otherwise they would have all died. And when the Saxons came you didn't help the Brits, you didn't help your fellow Celts. I'm actually 48% Briton, and what you did and didn't do to my People is unforgivable, My 30% saxon Blood is with the English, and you shall always be enslaved for what you have done.

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum the brits were the brythonic celts a.k.a welsh and cornish cultured people....what are you on about brits??? 1960s ugandan asian ones??? what are you on about lol

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 Then mass murdering them is even worse, You know what i'm talking about, im talking about when the Romans left Britian, The entire celtic population including the ones in Wales and Cornwall attacked the English Area, along with the scots. Burning and destroying your own kind.

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum what the fuck are you on about....you need a lie down...the saxons enslaved the local population as well....the world is full of shits....wake up matey.....PS I am not personally at fault for other ppls actions

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 Don't you understand what i'm saying, you started the whole dam thing. If you hadn't have attacked, then the saxons wouldn't have come and you wouldn't have had to deal with bloodthirst saxons. Its your fault they are hear. The saxons my have enslaved the brits to, but you started it.

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 Don't you understand what i'm saying, you started the whole dam thing. If you hadn't have attacked, then the saxons wouldn't have come and you wouldn't have had to deal with bloodthirst saxons. Its your fault they are hear. The saxons my have enslaved the brits to, but you started it.

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum please state sources before I take you seriously...I have a masters in genetical analysis of the British Isles from the University of York

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 Is it not true that the Welsh, Scots, cornish and other tribal area raided and attacked the Brits area in England before the saxons came. Is it not true that the Brits asked the two saxon brothers to defend them against these attacks. You started it...PS I am not personally a person who beleives cornwall is English, Not EVERYONE in England beleives Cornwall is English you know.

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum you just contradicted yourself saying its both true and not true the welsh scots blah blah (WHO never existed back then) are to blame for attacking the original english...even though the term english did not come into being until much later

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum I am glad you are into the history of the british isles but some of what you say either is misinformed with latest thinking OR I have misunderstood /both

The fact neither you or me had anything to do with what happened in the past should make us more transcient observers than true players

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 Don't take what i said seriously, i was talking to an ultra-cornish nationist and it get abit on my wick. I like Cornwall and i think you should decide what you want in Cornwall, but this guy was really abusive to the English. What i said here is not true, although they did invade the Brits, but it doesn't mean its their fault.

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum don't get riled up by extremists......half of them ain't serious anyway.......sorry to be pedantic but when you say 'the Brits' the origin is from brythonic which are the ancestors of the cornish..so i doubt the cornish invaded themselves........now if you said they cleared out the pre celtic first settlers I would agree.

Sad thing all the invaders in britain always had to take over by force including the 'celtic cultured ones'...maybe its an omen of future ;)

[Seed4ever]

Great Tune love it Dave

[SpaceHagenees]

Thanks Dude!

[glasgow1234]

The Scots,Welsh and Cornish!! True people of this island... invaded by foreigners!

[jwmatthews27]

ha ha funny. Who truly is a scot, cornish or welsh as everyone has mixed blood

[kane335]

so glad people are realising there celtic ancestry, we were invaded by the anglo-saxons, the english are the foreigners! the celts must stick together!

[fitzy545]

english scum

[Chauncy666]

That made me laugh. Makes me imagine a frowning Cornishman shaking his fist at England from the Tamar.

I love being Cornish, wouldnt wanna be English, theyre all bald!

[RedPawl]

For people who claim to be so proud of being English as the predictable trolls do here, their command of their mother tongue leaves much to be desired. I am glad that I, as a Cornishman have a better understanding of the English language and its spelling.

Kernow yw konna tyr orth penn Breten Veur. Kernow yw bro geltek ha Kernewek agan yeth.

[tc1991t9]

Hahah, bless the cornish, they are a funny folk, slighly related to that of the "nome" species......

they're good for our english gardens ....

thats probably why we still own the patch of land, that and they'r gigantic ginger cornish women (make sur theyr's some good enligh blood in there)

[laingers1]

anyone know who performed this...

st buryan male voice choir? cape singers?

[532crew]

dunt spoze somebody could tell me the real name of this song please cuz its fucking ace and i want to know the words

[fletch2002]

Harry's song for Cornwall by Harry Glasson

[CyberfoxAndy]

I just wish Devonians would finally wake up and realised that they're not actually English. Devon's population is predominantly of Celtic descent and before the Anglo-Saxon arrival would have been part of the same Celtic kingdom (Dumnonia). It about time Devonians realised their true heritage and culture.

CELTIC & PROUD!

DEWNANS OMA!

[malx1975]

I don't see why the Cornish always have to justify their nation status when this has been confirmed over and again by countless acts of parliament, enquiries and legal cases. I also hate the way the discussion just turns into a vulgar and foulmouthed slanging match. Cornwall is Cornwall and England begins at the Tamar, both are part of the United Kingdom and the EU. Full stop.

[CelticReject]

Damm right. Cornwall is a feckin country.

PROUD TO BE CORNISH, A CORNISH MAN.

Fuck the dispicable English bankers and wankers. Fuck the corruption. Fuck the idle idiots. Fuck the Packies and the fucking muslims. Fuck the black bastards. Fuck the islamic fools. Fuck the chineese. Fuck the government. Fuck the law. Fuck the endless stupidity. Fuck the corruption. Fuck the repression. Fuck the oppression. Fuck the cameras. Fuck the crazy wars. Fuck the New World Order. Leave us alone.

[svaughan28]

ummm you repeated one :P

[jwmatthews27]

A lot of the bankers have second homes in cornwall.. that makes them Cornish too

[Kizrollings]

I am PROUD to be Cornish!

We ARE seperate from England as are Wales and Scotland, we have our own flag and language, yet why the fuck are we still considered English?!

[jwmatthews27]

Well your not completly seperate.. as your ruled from London like everywhere else. The only ones have some autonomy are long standing distinct countries in the uk which besides england are scotland, isle of mann, the channel islands,wales and northern ireland

[mabakiel666]

Cornwall is indeed 'a promised land' but the promises were all broken long ago. To its indigenous population, Cornwall has no future. It is in a state of terminal economic decline.

[tinsoldier26]

jamgibson you're a fucking cock!!! Why have you ruined this nice video and song with your stupid comments?

It's wankers like you that make us want to be seperate from England!

[fletch2002]

We ARE seperate from England!

[Counterrevolutionite]

James Fletcher, aren't you living in Plymouth? You were born in Bristol, a pure Englishman, so I'm not quite sure why you spend so much time trolling videos on Cornwall and England. Not born in Cornwall, not living in Cornwall, hasn't got a Cornish name.. yet you have attempted to reinvent yourself as "Cornish". You have a personality disorder, and a very odd, crankish one at that.

[Brythonek]

Counterrevolutionite is a wacko who seems to like trolling Cornish videos and picking fights with Cornishmen. He was stating that Cornishmen were nothing but a sub-group of the English anwyay. Yet here he is attacking someone who can't be Cornish, according to him, because they are English. Seems like we have a bit of a contradiction going on here.

[svaughan28]

maybe he is english but just wishes he was cornish :-)

[rjclemo]

@tinsoldier26 cornwall has a legal right to be seperate from england but succesive governments have repressed cornish rights, good on that man for sticking up for himself, and too you sir if swearing is the only way you can make a point then your not doing much of a job

[tinsoldier26]

@rjclemo If you take a minute off from tractor porn and page 3 implements you'll see that I was sticking up for the Cornish (ME) and having a go at someone that was running the Cornish down!

15 people read and liked my comment, I suggest you turn the PTO off, head back to the yard and get your facts straight!!!

Swearing is the only way to get a reaction from these up-country muppets.

Don't think for one minute that i'm thick tractor boy! Happy ploughing!

[kernowmitch]

Longbow1415 is making these sort of comments on all Cornish Y.T. videos, i looked on his profile and he writes that he has a son and is bringing him up to be polite and educated. I really feel sorry for his son i hope he doesn't grow up to be a rascist bigot like his dad.

[longbow1415]

Cornwall is a shit hole. Personally i think England would be better off without them anyway.

Stupid Cornish wankers.

[Whoreuk]

I'm from London. As far as I know, we, the English, are the invaders to this country-thats all of England-The Cornish do have a point really, as do the Welsh. We the English did do alot of damage over the years. I think they should be proud of their heratige, why not?

[Malusregnum]

@Whoreuk Well if you think about it its there own fault, The Cornish, Welsh and Scots were fighting the Brits while the Saxons were coming. The English attacked and devestated the Celtic Countries as punishment for letting the Brits in the region of England get sluaghtered by the Saxons,

[Malusregnum]

@Whoreuk Let it be known the Celts of Cornish, Wales and scotland are mass murders of their own kind, they deserved total destruction as they were the cause for the total destruction of the Brits in England. Its harsh but its true, thats the way the world works,

[Malusregnum]

@Whoreuk The Cornish,Welsh ans Scots deserve nothing more than total extermination as punishment for total extermination of the Brits in England. They should watch their children scream as they burn in the ruins of their once great nation just like the Brits of the English had sufered when they abondened them to the Saxons.

[3tangle3]

@Malusregnum ur saxons men enslaved the brits you total spooner

[Malusregnum]

@3tangle3 You deserved it, You forced the Saxons into England, Every Celt thats not from the English Region was slaughtering the British Population. At least the Saxons enslaved you, YOU were Exterminating the Briitsh People of the English Area, You Brought the English upon yourselves, Its Harsh but its how the world works, you do something bad and now you pay the price.

[3tangle3]

@Whoreuk but you say 'we' the english.....english is but a culture not a race.....you are not to blame for the invasions...it was the state...be proud of who you are...most english are part celtic and even older first settlers (pre celtic)

[psviking1]

@3tangle3 English is a race! The Angles came from Angeln in Southern Jutland, Denmark, so true English(Angles) are Scandanavian, They have done DNA tests on English and Danes, and their DNA is identical, you can't tell it apart.

[3tangle3]

@psviking1 stop lying most english have celtic allelic origin.....only east anglia and lincolnshire can be considered close to saxon.......been doing genetic studies at Uni of York for 7 years...whats your background?

[3tangle3]

@Whoreuk most english have older genes than mere saxons or normans....they but a minor elite ....thats the twisted cirriculum for you that taught you lies

[cornubian]

@Whoreuk - Was it not Peter Ustinov who once said: "a twinge of conscience is a glimpse of god"

[3tangle3]

@Whoreuk but most of your ancestors are similar to the welsh and cornish.........its a genetical lie you are anglo norman.....amybe 25% at best

[3tangle3]

@Whoreuk the "welsh speakers" of devon and dorset were deported over the tamar by aethelred i believe or as stories go

[fletch2002]

I love the way that those ignorant people who like to tell us that we are English think that WE are the racist ones.

If I said to them @You're not English, you're Indian" and blatantly refused to acknowlege that there was an English identity then I wold be racist.

these people are so hypocritical.

Cornwall has a huge and undeniable claim to independence so learn your hisrtory before calling US racist!

[markyp19]

the images in this video are not of cornwall they are west penwith different again see.

[xjagermeisterx]

1)-these are pictures of cornwall.

2)-west penwith is in cornwall.

/michael

[markyp19]

maybe your cornwall pal but i say cornish out of west penwith.

iam a pendeen man myself. i know ever square foot of land this side of lelant so you dont have to tell me my beauty cos i do fucking well no.

[jamgibsonjamgibson]

chauncy666 is a liar and a troll here are just a few of them.

"Why don't you have dinner with the queen then"

"I am going to fight for my country" (er what about your oath of allegiance to the queen dumbass?)

"people are starving in W Cornwall" when asked where, his reply "way out west" (wheres that Narnia, Atlantis?)

"My sister was assaulted in Devon for speaking in a Cornish accent"

"England has taken all our money"

(Yeah right, dimwit, tell us another one of those porkys, I love em.

[Chauncy666]

"i dont wanna have dinner with the queen"

"how many times do i have to tell you i love the United Kingdom and i love Cornwall"

"near Helston etc"

"she was indeed at that Korn gig at Pavillions"

"yes they have taken all of it otherwise Cornwall would be a rich region because of all the tourists we have, where does all this money go to well not Cornwall or her people"

[jamgibsonjamgibson]

There is no such thing as the starving of Helston, Helston is no less poor than the rest of the region, you just think it is so far away that nobody will be able to check your claims.

[Chauncy666]

the term starving is used as a way of saying were so damn poor and then many people in that area are actually struggling to keep their houses etc

fuck man use your brain

[SportingCPJV]

CELTS 4EVER!!!

[liamondo3]

Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Isle of Man and Cornwall - CELTIC not ENGLISH

[jamgibsonjamgibson]

England, will be fabulously wealthy when we are finally separated from our celtic neighbours... Oh you still want our money?

[jamgibsonjamgibson]

Hooray for when the celts get their freedom and the English get to keep our money..... Oh you still need our money? What a surprise

[Chauncy666]

no England is taking our money thats why Cornwall is below the poverty line

and dude with all the comments you put through on Cornish videos tell me do you sit at your computer all day and bash Cornwall

pathetic

[jamgibsonjamgibson]

No I bash about half a dozen cornish and welsh racists, not that they are the only ones mind you, You claim is untrue in the extreme and whats more, is the fact that it is propaganda, like those mad biker "An untrue version of cornish history" vids that you all subscribe to. I think I'll make a list of lies and contradictions you have made at the top of the page.

[Chauncy666]

Your racist too implying that Cornwall is part of England because you say so and Cornish people dont have a say in it

your not superior and neither are we sho shut the fuck up

[jwmatthews27]

Cornwall is below the poverty line as most people who live in cornwall travel back to their winter homes in the southern counties and london

[OnenHagAll]

What is this song called?????

[jwmatthews27]

[OnenHagAll]

What is this song called

Good vid

[allardd]

The Song of the Western Men

"The Song of the Western Men" is a song written in 1824 by Robert Stephen Hawker, and is better known in Cornwall, and overseas, by the title of "Trelawny".

The song is always heard at Cornish rugby union matches and other Cornish gatherings. It is known as the unofficial Cornish anthem.

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

[OnenHagAll]

The song of the western man is

"A good sword and a trusty hand a merry heart and true ect.

Shall trelawny live or shall trelawny die ect."

The first words of this are :

"(someting) One and All

So lets hear it for trelawny may he never die

Lets hear it for trevithik ect."

I dont think it is trelawny.Seeing as i go to Conish pirate games and sing it myself .

[captainhazzard]

@allardd This isn't The Song of the Western Men, its called "HARRY'S SONG FOR CORNWALL". It was written by Harry Glasson, he's one of the Cape Cornwall Singers.

[Seed4ever]

I love this wonderful, lets hear it for Wahles

[jwmatthews27]

or wales even
