Translation:

Beneath the waters, it is silent

Beneath the waters, I call you

There is no company with me.

Beneath the waters, silence for ever,

Beneath the waters, I call you.

The sound is no longer with me.

[alczyn182]

mae'r clipiau o capel celyn wedi'i foddi yn gwneud y gan hyd yn oed mwy trist.

[70rippy]

i met this old welsh gentleman he told me about this im french Irish Scots never an Englishman

[bert031078]

It's a model

[jpdfo1982]

@ifanapdafydd Could you also post the lyrics in Welsh?

[hooptyhee1]

The English even did this to themselves--I remember the village of Kielder in the Borders which got submerged in the 1970's.

[wardenphil]

They did something like this where I live - neither my Grandfather or his older brother ever did get over it.

Beautiful and very sad at the same time.

@LBfan0685 I have the door handle for Church in Capel Celyn am my grandfather has the other, I believe he was given them as a gift. My grandfather's Huw Bach Y Bala :D.

The worst thing about all this was that if Cymru was independent, it would not have happened.

The English did what they wanted against the wishes of the people.

British democracy? You can shove it up the Queens arse.

The underwater views in this video are neither Tryweryn or Lake Vyrnwy - I was able to walk down into both lakes during the dry summer of 1995 and through the remains of both the village of Capel Celyn (Tryweryn) and the old village of Llanwddyn (Lake Vyrnwy), and there are certainly no walls or buildings left standing - although I was able to walk across the bridges in both villages - these being the only structures left standing.

My mother can remember crossing the bridge and going through the village as a young girl. I think all MP's for Wales voted against the forced expulsion of the inhabitants, except for one, who abstained. What's more, Liverpool corporation applied for, and got, a special act of English parliament ,meant they could bypass applying for planning permission from the Welsh authority for the area. It just 'happened tobe 1 of the last places where ALL spoke Welsh ..maybe that was  why they did it!
