Ynys Llanddwyn Island

Ynys Llanddwyn on the south western corner of Anglesey, N. Wales. The island of the patron saint of Welsh lovers - Dwynwen. It guards the entrance to more...the Menai Straits and overlooks the beautiful Llyn peninsula.
Reputedly Dwynwen lived in the 5th century AD , a daughter of a Welsh prince. She fell in love with a young man, but had to reject him because of her father's preference for another suitor. She prayed that she be given a potion to deliver her from this amorous dilemma.
The potion however turned her lover into ice.
As was normal in such circumstances those days she retreated to Llanddwyn Island to follow the life of a hermit.
Llanddwyn means the Church of Saint Dwynwen.

Magnificient landscape and gorgeous music. What is the name of the first song and where can it be found? I would love to learn Welsh, native language of my great grandfather Wilkins. I have several family Welsh bibles that have come down from the mid-1800s from the James and Stokes families. I visited southeast Wales in 1989. Only in the past few years did I learn that my earliest Welsh ancestors come from Angelsey. One day I will visit there. Lynne (NJ-USA) lylywhyt@aol.com

@LynnesGift The song is a Welsh lullaby Suo Gan. Steven Speilberg used it in Empire of The Sun. If you wish to find out more about Ynys Llanddwyn and your Welsh Hertiage then perhaps you would like to visit my website. A link can be found would in the video description.
