I am English but went to uni in Wales and stood on the Cardiff Arms terraces in tears. What an anthem and every welsh person in the stadium always sings. fantastic
I'm part Welsh, part English too. I will sing the English (British) anthem in a formal setting but I don't support English teams and I find it ugly when it is sung by crowds in sporting events. Conversely, the Welsh anthem has a very special place in my heart, oherwydd, "hen wlad fy nhadau" yw Cymru, a mae fy ngwlad yn sicr yn annwyl i mi. I always find it very moving to hear the anthem, especially sung in full force by a huge crowd spontaneously splitting into harmony. There's something very pure and noble about Welsh patriotism, the patriotism of a small nation which has retained its language and heritage and culture whilst being part of a larger country - and for the Welsh, for a small country to have such a successful international Rugby team (and now Football team too!) it is really amazing.
Im from south africa and here in 1910s the dutch,welsh,english,irish and scots became 1 nation. Im a white south african meaning im all of them in 1.Dont know who to choose lol

@@stilllaughing3959 I'm a Serb and couldn't agree more with you,but the language...like a liquid silver,man....same as with Gaelige and Gaelic....still i can't find anywhere anything to learn them....plus i have shitty memory.
+Jack Moore I'm sorry she was so snippy to you, Jack. I, too, am of Welsh descent and extremely proud of it. I am 50% Welsh, 50% Irish and 100% Proud Celtic!! Have a great day!!
***** I am so, so sorry i replied that way. I used to be an extremely rude person, and i have no memory of saying that but i am sincerely sorry i acted that way. Ive grown up since i replied that way, and im just so, terribly sorry.
The first time any national anthem was played was in 1905 in Cardiff as a response to the Kiwi Haka. National anthems at sporting matches started right there!
I am Irish, but I have stood in Cardiff Arms park with tears running down my cheeks as the Welsh supporters belted this out! I did not understand a word of it...but I understand passion... and pride in ones country!
For such a small country as Wales and then only a small part of it makes for the Welsh rugby team and then how big they are on the world stage. The passion of the fans as well as the team itself... passion is not a strong enough word. In a fairly recent documentary, I remember Shane "twinkle toes" Williams, talking about how he was ready to take it to the all blacks as the anthems played. Legendary fans, players and team.. ... and all this from an Englishman :)
Of the people of Great Brittan I do not think there are any more patriotic to their country than the Welsh; I am so proud to be Welsh and proud to display the dragon.
It's an utter privilege to be Welsh living on what's possibly one of the most ancient historical pieces of soil the world has ever known. Cymru am Byth.
Hello everyone! Despite I can't understand the words of this anthem but I really like its sound and the sincere and so honest pride and dignity of the entire welsh people that I clearly noticed seeing the previous video clip!
Kathryn is absolutely amazing, regardless of her hair style. This version of my homelands national anthem is by far the best, and shows the power of her voice. Diorch a Fawr Katherine. I'm proud to be WELSH.
My parents were both Welsh. I was born in England. I play the Welsh National Anthem on the piano to remember their birthdays each year. I cannot get to the end of playing without crying. A marvellous anthem. Gwlad , Gwlad. = (Wales Wales) 🏴 xx 🎶 xx
I had the great pleasure to learn and play this to lead a full house in 1983 at the Welsh College of Horticuture in Northrop near Mold . Every time I hear it I am filled with wonderful warmth and unforgettable memories
Heck we could even sing it in some sort of celtic pre Roman Angle Jute or Saxon language so as to really make it English , rather than the mix of invader's languages we speak now? Gawd knnows how we'd do that but that would be the ideal.
We have, lying in waiting for being made official: Jerusalem, I Vow to Thee My Country, Land of Hope & Glory, Rule Britannia...Any of these would be the choice of *any* Englishman you stop on the street.
No man 👨 no madness Though their sad ☹️ power may prevail Can possess, conquer, my country’s heart 💖 They rise to fail She is eternal Long before nations’ lines were drawn When no flags flew, when no armies stood My land was born And you ask me why I love 💕 her Through wars, death 💀 and despair 😩 She is the constant; we who don’t care 🤷♀️ And you wonder will I leave her, but how? I cross over borders but I’m still there now How can I leave her? Where would I start? Let mans petty nations tear themselves apart My lands only borders lie around my heart 💓
Correction: what a strong pronunciation of the letter “R”. The R is the same as the RR in Argentine or Rioplatense Spanish, except for the RH sound that is like a normal R in Spanish but softer and aspirated. The consonants and words are strong. Not the R letter. Brittonic language.
Believe me this same song has became our anthem too since forefathers from ur country taught us, jst different in words.. check out if hve time we called it "Ri Khasi Ri Khasi"....I'm from meghalaya, northeast India...our Khasiland also known as "Scotland of the east"
I'm trying to learn welsh right now...its so hard to do by yourself! I really want a pen pal who would write to me in welsh, but I don't know how to find one!
Although this may sound crazy but we (Khasi Tribe) in Khasi hills, Meghalaya, India, use this tune as one of our patriotic song (more like an anthem too). This happened because the Welsh Missionaries came over to our place in 1841. The Welsh missionaries even provided us with a script as our tribal khasi language is more of an oral tradition than a written one. This song was written by Rev Dr. John Robert one of the Welsh missionaries who came to North East India in the 19th century. He was the Founder-Principal of the erstwhile Cherra Theological College, established in 1887 at a place popularly known as Cherrapunji, officially called Sohra (one of the world's wettest places on Earth), Meghalaya, India. The name of the song is Ri Khasi Ri Khasi (Ri- means country, Khasi - for the Khasi people; meaning land of the Khasi people) Here is the link of the song sung recently ua-cam.com/video/uaa58_a4VQw/v-deo.html
And to those who think they can defeat Ydraig Goch - lol ! Red Dragon - LOL ! - come on - have a go - if you win, we'll salute you - and if we win, we'll still salute you - just harder, lol !
Even with the singers it turned out quite nice, but I really prefer just the choir and the crowd, it makes me cry every time I end up just miming the words so I don't sound like a toad :P
Warm greetings to you all, and mainly to the welsh users. I believe that the female singer in the previous video clip sings magnifically and is so gorgeous to me! Exscuse you, is she welsh?
The combination of her physical GORGEOUSNESS and "substantial", strong voice has some serious seducing effect on me right now...I hate to admit ! I'd have such a hard time resisting anything she'd tell me to do XD oh and the Welsh anthem is the most beautiful one I've heard so far, that's what I came for originally !
False Teeth why wouldn't they want independence? The union is falling to prices.... We don't live in the 18th century anymore mate... Scotland and Wales are better off by themselves... And northern Ireland are better off United with the Republic :)
Their entire culture and people are bound up when the the rest of Britain...Don't be so bloody stupid... Nobody here wants to hear your left-wing crap I'm proud of my entire family that come from all parts of Great Britain (My surname being Jones) we don't need people like you pushing the Semetic agenda...
If you thought I can't pronounce our anthem you are wrong. I just meant unable sing at all because I'd be very emotional...Blame the government for that. The whole time I was in school Welsh wasn't in the curriculum, I took it upon myself to learn it. I think anyone who was unable to learn Welsh at school should learn now. It's everybody's negative attitude to our beautiful language, claiming they wouldn't need it to travel the world when that isn't the point. We should look after our language!!
Exscuse you, the welsh is a kind of celtic language or it's referred to a Gaelic origin? Unfortunately, in the italian schools and universities we don't deepen the different kinds of languages of the states that belong to the Uk!

Rubbish! I'm half Welsh, but I'd have to give the top places to New Zealand and South Africa. The Scottish anthem isn't even in the top five.
@@DieFlabbergast Scottish anthem is one of the best!
Respect Ireland
DieFlabbergast u sure?? Go watch wales anthem vs England when they beat them 30-3 then come back
Mmm
What an extremely talented young lady Katherine is and even more so singing this incredible Anthem--happy to be a kiwi but this touches my heart.
This is totally amazing and as a kiwi so proud to see Hayley accompany Katherine in singing this incredible anthem.

Have listened to Welsh national anthem for 40 odd years at rugby matches and it is always so moving and Katherine Jenkins perfect

donno why but welsh anthem always makes me feel in tears its so beautiful
And you'll notice that everyone in the house sang as well? My American compatriots, get a clue. THAT'S WHAT NATIONAL ANTHEMS ARE FOR! Everybody sing!
Well said!
You're asking a bit too much. In Wales, everybody knows how to sing.
The American anthem was written by a British man from Scotland
@@carljones7466 Oh dear.😊
Really makes me proud to be welsh seeing all the children singing.
Yeah :)

I thought Cymry it was that was Wales though
I'm Scottish and the Welsh national anthem makes my cry everytime I hear it.
I’m here after watching ‘Dream Horse’ which has a scene of Katherine Jenkins and the main characters all singing the anthem, fantastic!
My mother was Welsh. From Aber Tawe ( Swansea to you). It’s a beautiful anthem.
That was ages ago. Just looove the song
I had the great pleasure to learn and play this to lead a full house in 1983 at the Welsh College of Horticuture in Northrop near Mold . Every time I hear it I am filled with wonderful warmth and unforgettable memories
So proud of our boys in every game even if we loose
Poetry in motion
It just doesn't get any better than this thank you Katherine
Katherine is absolutely beautiful in this clip,hair much nicer than what it is now.
Beautiful anthem by beautiful singer
A beautiful anthem sung by a beautiful woman. x
Absolutely Beautiful !!!!
Katherine Jenkins could sing the phone book as far as I'm concerned. Brilliant voice
I am 100% Welsh - an American but both parents from Wales. I ❤my Welsh heritage and I absolutely tear up every time I hear the Welsh National Anthem.
So you’re american
I wish we had such an emotionally charged national anthem as like this.
Beautiful!
Awesome Anthem, indescribably beautiful and so uplifting
Mike Brown. I was born in Wales but live in Canada. The welsh national anthem makes me proud of where I come from.
Surely the greatest of national anthems especially at the Arms park.......
Happy St David's Day. Cymru Rydd
beautiful
The best anthem on earth from god's own country
Why can't the English have a brilliant national anthem like this !
When they say happy and glorious they all are miserable!

Just Streamed your Version for Peter Merryfield Ron Davis Thankyou!!
Amazing
If I were to go into competition after this anthem, I want to believe I would do anything to win.
Bring Welsh often just does it for me
proud to be welsh
Doesn't it bring tears to your eyes, especially the crap year we've had xx
This anthem sounds so sad snd really cool
Now that is an anthem one can be proud of.
No man 👨 no madness
Though their sad ☹️ power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country’s heart 💖
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations’ lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born
And you ask me why I love 💕 her
Through wars, death 💀 and despair 😩
She is the constant; we who don’t care 🤷♀️
And you wonder will I leave her, but how?
I cross over borders but I’m still there now
How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let mans petty nations tear themselves apart
My lands only borders lie around my heart 💓

Well as I am welsh you can see by my name this anthem is over 150 years old so its one of the oldest anthem
Of course she is Welsh! She grew up speaking Welsh so it's not so hard for her.
Scottish, Irish, and Welsh independence!
I am not from Wales but a grandfather was.
