Randomguy: it is actually 'ar (G)lan y mor.'. The 'lan' (meaning 'up' in English) in the title is a mutated version of Glan, which means shore. 'Ar lan y mor' literally means 'on the seashore' and not 'up on the sea.'
Cymraeg-Cornish -Breton basically the same, Brythonic Celt, the Celtic languages are "P" celtic and "Q" celtic many similarities, goidelic and Brythonic language.
Beside the sea there are red roses Beside the sea there're lovely lillies Beside the sea my sweetheart lives Asleep at night & awake at morning. Cold is the frost & cold the snowfall Cold the house without fire in winter Cold is the church without a vicar Cold am I without my lover. Wonder's the home & yonder the building Where I've spent many a happy evening In the loft there above the kitchen With the girl with the yellow ribbon.
This was the first Cerys Matthews video i ever saw, about a year ago. I now count myself among her greatest fans! I love her version of this song, very sexy and fun.

@alanvt1 godeilic and brythonic are the closest I agree...but still only share 30-35% similarity between the two branches :)

I have never heard welsh before.It sounds different than Breton.There should be a language study between the two.Since they are related.

Go to Google and enter 'Ar Lan y Mor lyrics'. It's the second song down. Kind regards.

Very nice version, different from the normal rendering of this beautiful Welsh song.

For those unfamiliar, a Welsh friend told me recently that this is a Welsh love song, whose title means 'On the Seashore'. Love the video.

@thesquareofthehypote actually the title is translated to by the seaside

@CezBambi93 Well, a literal translation would be 'up on the sea', but I don't think it really matters.
