[For all the Welsh People out there!]

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau is the Welsh national anthem. The tune and words were the work of the father and son team of Evan James (1809 - 1878) and James James (1833 - 1902).

Lyrics:
Cymraeg :
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion enwogion o fri
Ei gwrol ryfelwr, gwlad garwyr tra mad
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

Gwlad Gwlad,
Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau

English:
Land of my Fathers, O land of the free,
A land of poets and minstrels, famed men.
Her brave warriors, patriots much blessed,
It was for freedom that they lost their blood.

Wales! Wales!,
I am devoted to my country.
So long as the sea is a wall to this fair beautiful land,
May the ancient language remain.

  • WALES FOREVER!

  • What an anthem.. the lyrics are so powerful, I love how they are not about any leaders or crap they are about a free country and a reminder that people have died for Wales and it really is the land of our fathers and our home today not the governments...

  • Fantastic win today england played well but wales are the best

    MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU YN ANNWYL I MI

  • English haters prefer to suppress the fact that Llewellyn the Great's daughter Gladys Ddu married a Norman whose descendants became the Yorkists, direct ancestors of the modern British royal family. Henry Tudor was only a quarter Welsh and not descended from Welsh royalty. The present queen is descended from the true Welsh royal family. English haters may reject descent in the female line. Very democratic as the Welsh assembly has more women than the assembly of any other nation in the world!!

  • TRIPLE CROWN HEDDIW YMA!!! CYMRU AM BYTH!!!!

  • Nice game today wales :)

  • Cymru am Byth Fuck all English Cunts :)

  • @saltavi The Monarchy have many different origins, but as the modern monarcky used posh names that the English use most commonly, have english accents and represent England, I don't think you can call them primarily German today. This is my opinion. Do not violate it.

  • @Eddsaysftw Lol no, they're German. They changed their original German name to Windsor because of fears during WW2.

    The only Welsh they have in their veins is from the Tudors and they died out with Elizabeth. The last proper regent we had was Llewellyn and Owain.

  • The most beautiful, the most powerful, the most honourable.

    The anthem of my own and me, and all those who are and want to be Welsh.

    Decent and proud. Cymru am byth,
