GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

HERE'S THE WELSH ANTHEM

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU- THE WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri; Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed
Cytgan/ Chorus Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

LITERAL TRANSLATION:
The old land of my fathers is dear to me. Land of bards (poets) and singers, famous men of renown; Her brave warriors, patriots, For freedom shed their blood.
Chorus: Country, Country, (HOMELAND conveys the sentiment more accurately) I am true to my country. While the sea is a wall to the pure, most loved land,
O may the old language endure.

While most Welsh People know their anthem as written above, there are actually 2 more verses as follows:

Verse 2:
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bard
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi

Old Mountainous Wales, The Poet’s Paradise,
Every Valley, every cliff, to my mind is beautiful,
Through patriotic feeling, how charming are
the murmurs of her brooks to me

Verse 3:

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
yr awen gan erchyll law brad,

If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot, The old language of the Welsh is as alive as ever Spirit not restrained or hindered by the hideous hand of treason, Not hindered by the hideous hand of treason.
