Long live Cerys Matthews what a girl

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.

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.'

Nice song anyway!

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

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

Cymraeg-Cornish -Breton basically the same, Brythonic Celt, the Celtic languages are "P" celtic and "Q" celtic many similarities, goidelic and Brythonic language.
