WALES ~ MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU (Match Version)

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

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

To endure whatever befalls

That takes us to uniting this land
There shall our smiles and have the friendlier mean
Reach out come on, come take my hand
We'll fly up from all freedom, hope and unity

Sons and daughters our 300 islands
Always as one, we are Fiji
We can be the way the world should be

Let her voices sing with pride
For Fiji ever Fiji
Her name hails far and wide
The land of freedom, hope and glory
To endure whatever befalls
May godbless Fiji
