Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


There's nothing more patriotic than hearing 80,000 people singing your national anthem. If you're curious what it sounds like and how the words are pronounced, just watch the vid. It puts a smile on my face every time.

Land of my Fathers

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.

There are actually another two verses of the National Anthem, but it's often cut off after this point ;o)

Will you be on MSN this afternoon? I'll be logged in from 1-1:30pm onwards (I'm not sure I'll be on this evening - it depends on whether my father needs the computer so afternoon is best).
