Yes! I found the translation somewhere. The video is on echidna82 youtube channel. The video's title is Ioan Gruffudd. I'm not sure what other poem's are recited by him and Rhys, but they sound so lovely to my ears. :-) Oh! and they are sitting on a beach. LOL!

(thought id translate the below)

[kkbronson]

Thanks so much for the translation. I wish I knew how to speak Welsh. It took me forever to find out what Ioan was reciting in the poem Ar lan y mor (?). It's not in Solomon & Gaenor. It's posted somewhere else on youtube. Anyway, thanks. :-)

Testing. I've commented/replied on three different days. Nothing. Maybe this one will show up.

I love the song. Can someone tell me the name of it?

PS, Great job with the video. I really have to see this movie.

(Copied from my response about 6 months ago. I'm so lazy. Oh, and for this video, I shortened the song length. It's really about 6 plus minutes)

"A Place Among the Stones". It's by Maire Brennan. Davy Spillane is on pipes and whistle. This version is from Celtic Circle Vol.2. There's another version, that I find just as beautiful on Maire Brennan's Misty Eyed Adventures. They are so close, you really have to listen, but there is a slight variation.

He is actually the most beautiful man alive.

[sqwishdabug]

He has no right being that beautiful. I am going to faint. Oooo.. -_-

@Ioanlover If you search for the dvd on piratebay it shows up. You tube wont let me post the url but just search on piratebay.

[xxvietbebe]

he played an officer in Titanic film (1997) ^_^ hes so cute!

[Ioanlover]

I´ve searched high and low for this film and nothing!!! It´s sad that films like this one are nowhere to be found in my country. Can anyone help me? Thanks a million for the vid!

[LeppardPrintAnimal]

Being as beautiful as Ioan can't be an accident of nature. He must have been hand-sculpted by the Gods.

[LeppardPrintAnimal]

any chance of you uploading the whole film?

Unfortunately the golden poem by the sea with Ioan and Math Rhys seems to be gone. This was from a film produced for S4C called Dal: Yma/Nawr. (Some of the best of Wales' poetry --6th century to modern--a terrific collection also including Nia Roberts (Gaenor) and many others, and music by Cerys Mathews and John Cale, and the Stereophonics.) Does anyone have it?
