Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
(Land of My Fathers)
1. Mae hen wlad fy nha-dau yn an-nwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chan-tor-ion, en-wog-ion o fri;
Ei gw-rol ry-fel-wyr, gwlad-gar-wyr tra mad,
Tros ry-ddid go-llas-ant eu gwaed.
Chorus: Gwlad, Gwlad, pleid-iol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O by-dded i'r hen iaith bar-hau
1. The land of my fathers, the land of my choice,
The land in which poets and minstrels rejoice;
The land whose stern warriors were true to the
core,
While bleeding for freedom of yore.
Chorus: Wales! Wales! fav'rite land of Wales!
While sea her wall, may naught befall
To mar the old language of Wales.

To be born Welsh
Is to be born privileged.
Not with a silver spoon in your mouth,
But music in your blood
And poetry in your soul.
