@94uustrats Wales has officially been respected as a seperate country to England since long before devolution. It is difficult for foreigners to understand, but Scotland, England and Wales are all "countries within a country".
I'm a little shocked right now - I used to go over that bridge every week to go to Bangor and I swear those kids are from the same Primary School I went to. Out of all the anthem videos on here, this is the one I click?

@OoohASquirrel In North East Wales if you speak Welsh you are basically welsh....so dont be worried....also most english has far back ancestors who spoke welsh.......so join the party
I am not Welsh, but that song, is beautiful, and sad that only like 600,000 (20%) use Welsh in Wales. Language I would love to learn though in the US. Its something unique... Many just go and learn Spanish, because its easy to learn. Welsh goes back to like the 1300's. I visited the old castles over there, built before it was the UK. That whole area is beautiful. I would move there if it was not so expensive...
This is a terrible anthem too slow without any power if you want a great national anthem listen to the Russian one its something that you can really blast out with pride.
@NorthernerMatty123 slow anthem? if you knew the words and were not anti welsh maybe it would have more meaning to you.......life is not all about rushing...enjoy
As an American, I am proud to tell everyone that I meet, that my family is from Wales. I have traced my origin to Sir John Gaines. His son, Thomas, was one of the 120 settlers of Jamestown, Virginia, the first colonial settlement in the Americas for King James I.
That's not quite correct, but the answer is long and complicated. Wales is an ancient country, which was conquered by England in the 1500s and became part of "England and Wales". In 1999 it got its own parliament, called "The Welsh Assembly". The Welsh language had been declining, but at the moment its enjoying something of a revival. Most people speak English, but about 20% of the population can speak Welsh.
@notyobs This isn't quite right either. Wales was conquered by Edward I in the 13th century, and the Act of Union came about between the years 1536 and 1543. Henry VIII was worried that the Marcher Lords (who were basically kings within their own areas of land) were against his split from Rome and were harbouring those he viewed as criminals. He was worried that the Welsh would comply if the French or Spanish Catholic powers invaded. So he resolved to tighten his grip on Wales.
@notyobs In reality, the Act of Union was a series of laws that stated that Wales had to be represented by an English Parliament, and English had to become the official language. This was resented by many of the Welsh people.
@notyobs so only 20% speek it so can i ask y all the sines r in welsh if all of them speek english not meening to ofrend i love the welsh but it semms i bit of money waster

The Celtic languages of the Isles have various lilts in their speaking. When I first went to a Welsh-American event, I hear a guy who I thought had a Scots accent, but he'd been born and raised in Wales. The Scouse dialect of Liverpool is much like that heard in Dublin, for a good number of people from that area emigrated to Liverpool for work. And yes there is a similar lilt.
john lennon had a welsh mother and liverpool is only a stones throw away, i think his fathers side is irish ,so i think he was mostly celtic stock, yes the man talking at the start has a north wales accent
The language looks like someone fell over a scrabble board but still, good anthem hehe. I don't live very far from Wales but i wish i could speak Welsh, just for the satisfaction of knowing another language.
I live in America but my ancestors and my heritage is Welsh. I would love to come visit. I look forward to the day to be back to the land where my family originally came from.
England and Wales are part of the United Kingdom, along with Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Welsh were in the British isles long before the English.
@ArcticZephyr it's a different ethnology - the English are descendants of north French (from Normandy), Vikings and other Germanic tribes, and the remnants of whatever Celtic inhabitants remained. The Welsh are the descendants of the Celtic inhabitants of the island who fled westward during the Roman invasion. They are an older nation than the English, and quite distinct
there is a cove in lake Travis(Austin Texas) named walsh cove. walsh is my grandmothers maden(SP?) name. and everyone in my family says i look more welsh than anything else. it is cool to know your past. I will always be a true Texan until I die, however i consider my self a son of the Welsh people.
Very very nice, such a beautifull language and a great culture :P. But im always wondering, how does an ethic Cymry looks like. I mean a man of germanic heritage has light hair and eyes. Im just wondering how a Cymry 'd look like, ive never been there (too bad).
Well me and a lot of my friends (and their families) have dark wavy hair and dark eyes, but a lot of my friends also have blue/green eyes, but that could just be my friends so I don't think my description counts! Most people I know here (North Wales) are quite tall, a lot of the older men from the small old villages are short/average in height, a lot of them say (yes this quote is true!) "It's to get down the mines!" .
But you'll have to come here at some point and decide for your self!!! :-D
I don't get it: what was in my comment "Truly the elvish of the real world" so bad that it deserves to be rated down? Come on, whoever did that. Explain it.
Matter of fact, Sindarin was built by Tolkien aftert he Welsh language, is Welsh is indeed the evish of the real world. However: Elvish is nice sounding and a beautiful language, yet only invented, while WELSH is a real one.
So again: what deserves teh comment to be rated down?
Maybe your 10% fact is based on 'Welsh Fluent speakers in the South of Wales', but when applying this theroy to the North of Wales, Well over 75% of the population speak fluent Welsh as a first language.
~~
But I'm still to find what your comment is in relavence to your argument that Wales should not be considered a country, and should be viewed as a principality.
The fact remains however, that Welsh was the first language of Britian, and is wildly spoken in Argentina, America and Canada.
Not to mention its one of Europes oldest (if not the oldest), languages, I guess thats worth a mention when speaking about Wales.
Also for the fact of less than 10% speak it is incorrect as every educated individual in Wales speaks some decree of Cymraig (as stated in the Welsh National Curriculum).
But how do you define an "old" language? Let me quote Herakleitos (Heraclitus): "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."
if those kids sang the anthem at the milenium stadium i would cry my eyes out they are superb, get them on that choir show on bbc1 and lets hear true talent thanx you made me proud to be welsh.
Born in America to Welsh Dad and maternal Welsh grandparents. I will sing the anthem at the top of me lungs as taught by me tad. CYMRU AM BYTH to the Morgas, Watkins, Davies and Thomas.
"AY" gwyrol? 'BAYRTH' for beirdd? we poor welsh learners havent a chance. I thought it was 'eye' gwyrol. The Welsh learners are taught a hybrid of dialects here in the US. Where is this choir from? I want to reference them when I am accused of mispronouncing Welsh again (and I am guilty of course but does everyone have to know it?)
It is spelt 'Eu'. The first letter prononunced like 'E' as in 'E' in Eliphant. Oh....don't worry....I don't think you are far wrong. Anyway, these children are North Walians and are singing in their beautifull accent/pronunciation.
Ay you right there butty my Mrs is Danish and even she could hear that these wonderfull kids were singing it in a different dialect than I do. Which proves that not all Welsh are
" Taffys " ( South ) theres also the " GOGS " ( North )
May I ask how do u divided celts? or Scandinavian(is it Scandinvians r from the northern europe?) where r the celts from ? R they from Roman Empire? Where r the English from? U all look like the same I don't know how to divided each other?
celts were the original british but after centuries of invasions (the romans came and pushed the celts into wales, scotland and north england. then the saxons and scandinavians came then the normans (northern french) came. The English descend from german, french etc as does the language. Celts are now spit between scotland, wales, Ireland (and northern i), Isle of man and cornwall in england. Brittany in france is also celtic. Irish and scottish languages are similar as is welsh and cornish.
Im Welsh and I hate the welsh assembly. Anyone who has the same view you can comment on my channel. I am going to finde a way of getting the message to them that no one likes the welsh assembly goverrnment

Very noble idea, although Welsh isn't Gaelic. They are related, but not as much as, say, Scottish and Irish Gaelic. It would be a good endeavor either way.
Nice to see this was filmed in Menai Bridge. I spent many a summer with my GrandParents who lived in the village 2 Mountain View just by the Fire Station
There's an English phonetic version of the first verse handy for non-Welsh speakers at public events By singing this they can appear to to sing the anthem: My hen laid a haddock, one hand oiled a flea, Glad farts and centurions threw dogs in the sea, I could stew a hare here and brandish Dan's flan, Don's ruddy bog's blocked up with sand. Dad! Dad! Why don't you oil Auntie Glad? Can whores appear in beer bottle pies, O butter the hens as they fly!
That incredible. I wonder what the story is behind that? According to Wikipedia, the tune was written in 1856 by the harpist James James of of Pontypridd, Glamorgan.
That's absolutely beautiful. I'm not Welsh, unfortunately, but I've fallen in love with the country all the same. It's a beautiful place with a beautiful language, and hearing it being sung is even better. Lovely video!
Thanks Mel for the share beautiful country and although I do prefer a Male voice choir singing this anthem the children did a lovely version of it 5*.....Barbara
Long Live Wales.

JR Tolkein once stated that Welsh and Finnish were the 2 most beautiful languages on Earth
As for the English - not only are you basically Germans. But the "house of Tudor" responsible for Henry 7th 8th and Elizabehth 1 were all Welsh
So you could say - the Welsh actually made "England" what it is today !

"AY" gwyrol? 'BAYRTH' for beirdd? we poor welsh learners havent a chance. I thought it was 'eye' gwyrol. The Welsh learners are taught a hybrid of dialects here in the US. Where is this choir from? I want to reference them when I am accused of mispronouncing Welsh again (and I am guilty of course but does everyone have to know it?)

It is spelt 'Eu'. The first letter prononunced like 'E' as in 'E' in Eliphant. Oh....don't worry....I don't think you are far wrong. Anyway, these children are North Walians and are singing in their beautifull accent/pronunciation.

Ay you right there butty my Mrs is Danish and even she could hear that these wonderfull kids were singing it in a different dialect than I do. Which proves that not all Welsh are
" Taffys " ( South ) theres also the " GOGS " ( North )

Thx 4 the Nice clip!
May I ask how do u divided celts? or Scandinavian(is it Scandinvians r from the northern europe?) where r the celts from ? R they from Roman Empire? Where r the English from? U all look like the same I don't know how to divided each other?
nnameo 3 years ago
celts were the original british but after centuries of invasions (the romans came and pushed the celts into wales, scotland and north england. then the saxons and scandinavians came then the normans (northern french) came. The English descend from german, french etc as does the language. Celts are now spit between scotland, wales, Ireland (and northern i), Isle of man and cornwall in england. Brittany in france is also celtic. Irish and scottish languages are similar as is welsh and cornish.

Very noble idea, although Welsh isn't Gaelic. They are related, but not as much as, say, Scottish and Irish Gaelic. It would be a good endeavor either way.

There's an English phonetic version of the first verse handy for non-Welsh speakers at public events By singing this they can appear to to sing the anthem: My hen laid a haddock, one hand oiled a flea, Glad farts and centurions threw dogs in the sea, I could stew a hare here and brandish Dan's flan, Don's ruddy bog's blocked up with sand. Dad! Dad! Why don't you oil Auntie Glad? Can whores appear in beer bottle pies, O butter the hens as they fly!

That incredible. I wonder what the story is behind that? According to Wikipedia, the tune was written in 1856 by the harpist James James of of Pontypridd, Glamorgan.

I believe the bretons borrowed this song and changed the lyrics.
