Welsh National Anthem

Welsh (Gwlad) National Anthem

 

Castle Tretower, Wales

Hen Wlad fy Nhadau
(Gaelic)

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn anwyl i mi
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri
Ei gwrol rhyfelwyr, gwla garwyr tra mad
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad
Tra mor yn fur
I'r bur hoff bau
O bydded i'r heniaith barhau.

Land of My Fathers
(English)

The land of my father's in dear unto me
The land of the poets, the land of the free
Her patriots and heroes, her warriors so brave,
For Freedom their life's blood they gave.

Wales! Wales!
Pledged am I to Wales.
Whilst seas surround
This land so proud
Oh, long may our old tongue remain!
