My God, Wales. Literally the most beautiful country in the world and full of lovely, lovely people. Bless you all, you gorgeous, spectacular place. Much love from USA, can't wait to visit you again.
Proud Texan of proud Welsh heritage and family ties. My grandmother was from Wrecsam, and Wales will always, always be a part of me. I am so proud to be part Welsh/Cymry.
Dylan Houghton Cymry means welsh people, Cymro is a Welshman, Cymraes a welsh woman, Cymraeg the welsh language and cymreig is adjectival, to mean ‘something welsh’ ...
A more literal translation: The old land of my fathers is dear to me, Land of bards and singers, famous men of renown; Her brave warriors, very splendid patriots, For freedom shed their blood. Country, Country, I am faithful to my Country. While the sea [is] a wall to the pure, most loved land, O may the old language [sc. Welsh] endure. Old mountainous Wales, paradise of the bard, Every valley, every cliff, to my look is beautiful. Through patriotic feeling, so charming is the murmur Of her brooks, rivers, to me. If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot, The old language of the Welsh is as alive as ever. The muse is not hindered by the hideous hand of treason, Nor [is] the melodious harp of my country. From Wikipedia, I chose the most literal one.
I've listened to 5 other versions of this song tonight so far & this is clearly the best one!!! Good job ! Well done! Although I still don't know what you're saying.lol.And why only men allowed!? Curious!?
@@Lobo1888 lol.hi! I know! But,I wanted to know why no women choirs,or mixed sex choirs in your country!? Or ,is there any? They are fantastic! But,can't help wondering.
@@spark_6710 dim cymry :) I'm not welsh. Tradition, male choir tradition that has roots in sacral choirs. Now if you know, the sacral hymns originally weren't rythmical but liturgical, take for instance chorals and byzantine/church slavonic chants, and liturgy is reserved to males, while singers were also those who were literate monks or seminaries, hence participation in it for centuries was male only. While folk music which is rythmical, was often unwritten, it was either among women or bards (in celtic countries). Nowdays everyone participate in church music, even on traditional latin mass, women sing but more people are musically literate. Britons were stronghold of christianity. As for welsh case, here is another reason, celtic languages are poetic, and their abstraction of the world was more cultural, that is why their men often sung during hard work.
@@Lobo1888 Thank you so much for replying & explaining a lot to me! I really appreciate that ! But,what did you mean by Celtic songs are more poetic that is why male choirs!? And what did you mean by during hard work?And so, there is a female choir? I mean it's 21st century! Anyways ,thank you so very much!👍
@@spark_6710 celtic languages are more poetic, pronounciation of some words depend on the word before and some vowels change, there are also b/v mutations to m/mh, and c to g, depending on the word before and context. Ofc. there are female choirs and mix choirs in Wales, it's a nation of excellent singers. It was common among celtic people to have female singers who would sing for the entire clan/village, and they have awesome tradition. You can check goidelic songs "Mo Ghile Mear" or "Ailein Duinn".
They are so bad at the start I wanted to close down but I thought well when do we british ever disappoint and so I held on, and it was great after the second verse.
Ulster Scot what do you mean!? They didn't sound bad at all ! I do have the ears & eyes for music!!! I'll tell like it is! Even if they were someone huge & very accomplished singers , but if went off , then I'll tell ! I never kiss ass! I listened to 5 more versions of this including some operatic ones, but truly this one is the best ! I'm a bit bothered by ONLY MEN ALLOWED , THOUGH.!? LOL.
@@OzarkRose LolLolLol.💜You are funny! You might get bashing from women rights people!? Hope not! Don't get me wrong I Love men choirs! And I do support women rights! But, some I feel the need to draw the line as there are biological differences between us & that's o.k. to admit it as they are the facts! Thank you so much for your funny reply! You gave me a chuckle!💜
@@OzarkRose Yes! As long as they do have both sorts.Which was my original question when I came here! Thank you so much for your reply! And I love Welsh's anthem!!!💜

A more literal translation:
The old land of my fathers is dear to me,
Land of bards and singers, famous men of renown;
Her brave warriors, very splendid patriots,
For freedom shed their blood.
Country, Country, I am faithful to my Country.
While the sea [is] a wall to the pure, most loved land,
O may the old language [sc. Welsh] endure.
Old mountainous Wales, paradise of the bard,
Every valley, every cliff, to my look is beautiful.
Through patriotic feeling, so charming is the murmur
Of her brooks, rivers, to me.
If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot,
The old language of the Welsh is as alive as ever.
The muse is not hindered by the hideous hand of treason,
Nor [is] the melodious harp of my country.

@@spark_6710 I live in an area where people would try to say that you shouldn't have a gender specific choir. I see nothing wrong with it.
