@CP N What does it matter? The fact is, the English banned Welsh people from speaking the Welsh language in Wales. That should never have been a "law" in the first instance. Dafydd Iwan and all like him will forever have my respect💯%🏴
Most of the north east and the rest of the north would back the welsh no doubt 🤝🏻 I’ve always said welsh should be taught in English schools as a second language instead of French Spanish and German and that we should call it by it’s proper name Cymru
I'll never forget seeing the tears streaming from Dafydd Iwans face as he opened for our qualifying match. Witnessing a chorus of people (at least 30,000 strong) singing his own song back at him: A song of nationhood, a song of history and culture, a song of protest and celebration *in our mother tongue* - where at least 60% of the people singing weren't born when he wrote it! In that moment - You got to see one man's dream come into reality... which in-turn inspired our boys to make another dream come to light: Cymru is a country of the world, and has continually "punched above our weight" on the world stage, but have rightfully earned our place amongst nations of the world to do so. Ymlaen bois - YMLAEN!
I'm not really a footy fan, rugby is my thing... Welsh Football has found something that rugby has lost... Makes my hairs stand on end, never mind being proud...
The diaspora here in the north west of England are right behind you - the children and grandchildren of Welsh speaking north Walians who came to Liverpool, Manchester and the industrial towns of Lancashire and Cheshire to make a life for themselves because Sydney, New York and Toronto was too far away from home. I might be born English but when it comes to football, Wales was always it - the Racecourse Ground was always 40 minutes on the train and Sgorio was always on the telly as a kid. It's brilliant to see Wales finally achieve their World Cup dream 64 years later, we have been waiting a long time too.
This is probably the most emotional, patriotic and inspirational song ever. We don't need a 12th man when we have this!!! Although, an invisible 12th man would also be welcome. Diolch. Come on Cymru
This is so true and real..powerful..gives me a shiver through my body..heart pumping. Bring the world cup on. Come on WALES..feed me till I want no more.
@@sonicboomReillly1988 I I was actually born in East Africa, Schools in Switzerland and England. Never had an identity, till I married a Welsh girl. Many years forwards - My Wife is Welsh. My 3 Kids are Welsh too. For my Part - I chose to be Welsh and this has been my best moment ever. Cymru am byth
I've been listening to this song for months and its probably one of the best football songs ever and I'm from Yorkshire, although I have no Welsh connections my cousin is a doctor in Cardiff and I'll let her know about this song so she can play it to her children who are Welsh by birth, good luck Cymru in the World Cup
@@notjerma1ne ok just so you know I don’t hate English just they often look down and say bad thing a about my country I was speaking welsh in my own country and an English person looked at me if I was just come out of hell
As a boy, I cried in the stadium in November 1993 when Bodin missed the pen. I cried on November 27, 2011 for completely different reasons, and now in November again, am in tears watching that. Feel so privileged and lucky to be Welsh. Thought I’d experienced the biggest high during the 2016 euros, until we joined the Red Wall this summer and sung this in the stadium. An unbelievable moment that I’ll never forget, and an unbelievable song that captures Welsh people doing Welsh things. Dafydd, you star. Sometimes it takes a while for the stars to align but they sure have done so with this.
I live in California, ancestors from the Northern Atlantic. I know an anthem when I hear one, regardless of my lack of language skills. So moving, all those male voices.
Cymru am byth 🏴 Prestatyn x I also waited years also for that glorious day x and I still have faith again we will make it again xxxx yma o hyd 🏴
English man here, didn’t understand a word of it but it was pleasurable to watch, well done to Wales 👍🏼 beautiful country, one I love visiting regularly 😆
Here's the translation for you, ffrind. 😁 "You don't remember Macsen, nobody knows him. One thousand and six hundred years, a time too long to remember. When Magnus Maximus left Wales, in the year 383, leaving us a whole nation, and today - look at us! We are still here, in spite of everyone and everything Let the wind blow from the East, let the storm roar from the sea, let the lightning split the heavens, and the thunder shout "encore!" Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow, and the servile lick the floor. Despite the blackness around us, we are ready for the breaking of the dawn! We are still here, in spite of everyone and everything We remember that Macsen the Emperor left our country in one whole piece. And we shall shout before the nations, "We'll be here until Judgement Day!" Despite every Dic Siôn Dafydd, despite old Maggie and her crew, we'll be here until the end of time, and the Welsh language will be alive! We are still here, in spite of everyone and everything..."
Cant believe I never noticed how amazing and important wales is in till I watched this!! I truly see my culture a different way now. I love this song so so so much.
They were not allowed to speak their own language for so many years, oppressed and ridiculed. But they are still here! They fought and gained their language back. Even on international language learning apps like duolingo, it's one of the most popular languages to learn.
i am Saesneg . but proud to have served in the welsh guards . now retired . this song is just so powerful . cymraeg is the oldest language in britain . about 4000 years . and should demand a lot more respect . diolch . yma o hyd .cymraeg am byth .
You can never tire of listening to this song . Even if like me you might not be welsh you can still feel the pride and passion with which the crowd sing this song .
Trugarez vras! Dw i obeithio mae Breizh yn gallu chwarae fel cenedl annibynnol yn y dyfodol! I hope that Brittany are able to play as an independent nation in the future! Breudeur Predenek da viken!
Wow. I am Welsh, born and raised in a Gwent coal mining town but moved away to England in my mid 20s. I'm Welsh at heart and followed the rugby team even through their troubles. But this is something else. The Welsh FA have played an absolute blinder here. The football team is more than a group of football players. They are a perfect movement at this time and place. I am moved every time I watch this or the live version at the CCS. I keep going back to watch the anthem against Ireland in the 2017 playoffs. It's pure emotional that gets your heart. I know the struggles of Wales. I grew up in the remnants of Thatcher's closing of the coal mines leaving most people with no prospects. But we're still here. More than that we're thriving. This is just a perfect song to capture the spirit of Wales. The FAW are a shining example to the world on how to galvanise a country. Powerful, moving and zero f##ks to give if nobody else understands it.
@@ianto8823 I just feel so proud of it. It does not matter if this team wins, loses or draws. It's bigger than that. It makes me want to move home sooner than I planned.
Probably the greatest song to be a football anthem that ever has been. I will be in the US when we play the Yanks and I will be singing this loud and proud.
Welsh-American and traveling from the US to be in Cymru for the World Cup. So unbelievably proud. I've watched this over and over and I always get tears in my eyes.
From a member of the Tartan Army what a fantastic anthem. As a Scots fan l love it when Wales do well and your fan's are class. This song and your National Anthem brings a tear to your eye's. I wish you well as a Nation at football. From and on behalf of the Scottish Tartan Army. All the best 👍!!
Don’t worry if you don’t know the language, just the emotion and passion is enough to touch one’s heart! More power to you, Dafydd Iwan. Good Luck Cymru ❤ 🏴
Im english by blood and birth, but raised in Wales. My english relatives cant understand why i say im Welsh by spirit, but BY GOD! This song explains it better than i ever could!🥲
As an Aussie, absolutely love the passion & tears streaming down grown mens faces. I dream of a future where we Australians can reconcile with our past, & have the same pride as the Welsh do
Simply magnificent! ❤️From Glasgow. Wales is the most magnificent country I've ever seen, Beddgelert is the saddest story I've ever heard. All my love and support for the world cup. Hope the Welsh Pirlo makes it as he is my favourite player/person of all time.
My great-grandparents emigrated from Wales to Argentina on a ship called "Mimosa", I did not have the pleasure of meeting them but their traditions and culture remained in my family. I'm very proud to have a small part of them and this beautiful country in my heart. 🏴🇦🇷¡Vamos Gales! ¡Vamos Argentina! 🏴🇦🇷
@@bannaubrycheiniog1329 Hi! My paternal great-grandmother was born in Abertawe; on my paternal grandfather's side, his father was born Dulluid Delan (I don't know if that's correct). Unfortunately we have not been able to learn Welsh, since my grandparents lost contact with their respective families and then passed away, which has made it difficult for us to find information about it. The little we know is from photos and postcards written in Welsh, sent from there and also some things that were told by relatives who remembered little because of their age. I'm sorry for my English.
@@daianawilliams oh, that's great you have some photos and postcards though, very interesting, thank you for sharing the story, pob lwc yn y dyfodol I ti! ❤👍
My Taid/Grandfather was born and raised in Gaiman but came to Wales to live with his family when he was 18. His father, my Great Grandfather emigrated to Argentina from Wales when he was a teenager and he met my Great Grandmother there. I’ve been to Y Wladfa once. I went in 2011. A really beautiful place! 🇦🇷❤️🏴
I've been listening to this song at lesat twice a day for over a year now. I know the song is about the Welsh Language and that they kept the language even though Brittan tried to get rid of it. HOWEVER, as a person who has drug-resistant depression (No Medications have worked for me), this song is INCREDIBLE. With Depression, sometimes when you wake up in the morning all you can say is "I'm Still Alive...". This song almost "Gives you permission" to feel that way. To be proud of the fact we made it another day, and we're still here. And the part about being surrounded by Darkness but ready to see the dawn". I cannot express what this song has meant to me. I CAN say that he's just released his autobiography in English and it is INCREDIBLE. His live could EASILY be made into a movie (Including someone trying to get him tied up in a plan to "Unalive" the Prince many years ago. I won't say what happened, but what an INCREDIBLE man, story, and song! I don't know what to say other than this song has literally kept me going!
Dwi'n crio yma. Mae angen i pawb yng Nghymru yn weld y fideo bendigedig yma. Hanes pwsig iawn. I'm crying here. Everyone in Cymru needs to watch this excellent video. Very important history.
I am not Welsh but this is an awesome song and very catchy tune, I could listen to this song for ages and not get bored of it, the chorus is just sublime!! 🤩🤩
I can’t even explain why but reading the comments and seeing people from other countries referring to Wales as Cymru has brought a tear to my eye! C’mon Cymru! This is such a moving and passionate song- it was amazing to see and hear people in Newport, most of whom are not Welsh speakers, singing along with Dafydd Iwan when he visited last weekend.
AMAZING - I am Scottish but this is a cracking anthem. Our nations enjoy the rivalry but this makes me proud to be British. To our friends in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland - total respect for our cultures but we are all British. Be proud - stick together. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@allisonshaw9341 There is an area in Cardiff that used to be called Butetown, named after a Scottish abuser and exploiter of the Welsh people. I'm not particularly having a go at the Scots, but it isn't just the English. You might not know but there used to be a Welsh whisky industry. When Scotland went into the union, they had the duty removed from Scottish whisky, but they insisted that Welsh whisky had to pay duty. They deliberately destroyed the Welsh industry. There are many other stories, including stories involving Ireland. However, I won't bother you with any more. As a side note, Welsh is Brythonic Celtic, our linguistic brothers are the Cornish (a language that is still spoken), Breton, and also the language of Galicia in North West Spain. Mind you, Galician has been diluted with a lot of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin. The Irish patron Saint was a Brythonic Celt kidnapped as a child from what is now Wales and enslaved in Ireland. The boy 'done well' he became the patron Saint of the country that enslaved him. :)
@DafyddHughes-oq2hd They haven't destroyed us. We are still here and we will be till the end of time. :) The language has survived and is, I believe, growing. My father used to tell me about the 'Welsh not' where in the area he lived if you were heard to accidentally speak so much as one word of Welsh in school you were beaten, made to wear a dunces hat and paraded through the village with a sign around your neck saying how stupid you were. It didn't work mind. They still spoke Welsh at home, in the village shop, with friends, and later, they all made sure that their children spoke Welsh. :)
The best about sport, it is when your identity and history emerge from your soul, and we can see the power of nations by its goodness. Buena Suerte galeses.
still buzzing about last night..basle again.were up and running 2016 again..im from welsh speaking family..for our language culture country and football team....yma o hyd
I'm Scottish, but when I hear this I think of my old friend Pedr Lewis who served on the Artic conveys. He was a Welsh nationalist to his core and was sent to jail for his beliefs .
When I was a bairn my faither told me about the Aberfan disaster .. that tragedy and the CYMRU ANTHEM and YMA O HYD gives me a wee feeling for our fellow Welsh Celts 🎵🎵
This, the anthem, tân yn Llyn, Men of Harlech and Sospan bach 🏴🏴🏴 The Heat is turning up! The day the Welsh understand who they really are is the day of great Revival!! 🏴🔥🏴🔥🏴🔥
Win or lose, the Welsh nation has a special place in our Irish hearts - this song, like many of ours, epitomises our respective struggles and coming out the other end, bigger better and our own people - Respect from Ireland - Go Cymru - the big game next, do it for your country, we are with you all the way here ❤💚

Grandpa was a proud yet humble Welshman born in St. Davids and I will be supporting Wales with all my shared Brythonic Celtic Welsh-Irish roots, though born in England... I love Wales and Ireland.... Come on Cymru, make us British Islander mongrels proud of our Welsh heritage 🤩😍 Dafydd Iwan's song is the 12th man and so powerful. With a little luck, who knows....?
Can’t wait to hear this everywhere in the next few weeks, or to see Y Ddraig Goch up there with the flags at Qatar22. I liked the inclusion of the Rainbow Wal flags in the video too, nice one for Qatar. I had Dafydd Iwan on my bedroom wall 50 years ago, but I could never have imagined this.
Simply incredible. The emotion and passion in this song and video is unrivalled. The best football athem there has ever been. Goosebumps. From a N. Ireland fan I'll be cheering on the Welsh men in Qatar.

Wyt ti'n nabod o ble yng Nghymru a daeth eich taid a nain yn wreiddiol?
@@bannaubrycheiniog1329 Hi! My paternal great-grandmother was born in Abertawe; on my paternal grandfather's side, his father was born Dulluid Delan (I don't know if that's correct).
Unfortunately we have not been able to learn Welsh, since my grandparents lost contact with their respective families and then passed away, which has made it difficult for us to find information about it.
The little we know is from photos and postcards written in Welsh, sent from there and also some things that were told by relatives who remembered little because of their age.
I'm sorry for my English.
@@daianawilliams oh, that's great you have some photos and postcards though, very interesting, thank you for sharing the story, pob lwc yn y dyfodol I ti! ❤👍
My Taid/Grandfather was born and raised in Gaiman but came to Wales to live with his family when he was 18. His father, my Great Grandfather emigrated to Argentina from Wales when he was a teenager and he met my Great Grandmother there. I’ve been to Y Wladfa once. I went in 2011. A really beautiful place! 🇦🇷❤️🏴
@@bannaubrycheiniog1329 thank you! Good luck to you too!🤗
I've been listening to this song at lesat twice a day for over a year now. I know the song is about the Welsh Language and that they kept the language even though Brittan tried to get rid of it. HOWEVER, as a person who has drug-resistant depression (No Medications have worked for me), this song is INCREDIBLE. With Depression, sometimes when you wake up in the morning all you can say is "I'm Still Alive...". This song almost "Gives you permission" to feel that way. To be proud of the fact we made it another day, and we're still here. And the part about being surrounded by Darkness but ready to see the dawn".
I cannot express what this song has meant to me. I CAN say that he's just released his autobiography in English and it is INCREDIBLE. His live could EASILY be made into a movie (Including someone trying to get him tied up in a plan to "Unalive" the Prince many years ago. I won't say what happened, but what an INCREDIBLE man, story, and song!
I don't know what to say other than this song has literally kept me going!
Britain was Welsh. The English were Germanic invaders who pushed us west of the island into Wales and Cornwall
This is so emotional so powerful Got to be the BEST song ever to do with football!
I’m am Irish and this makes me wish I was Welsh. More than a song, this hits deep.
Fellow irishman here, in full solidarity with and support of our Celtic cousins Cymru.
Don’t wish to be Welsh, Ireland and it’s culture is beautiful. We’re together strong 🏴🤝🇮🇪
Ikr why does their song have to slap so hard
See the version where Dffyd sings it with Rhydian on TH-cam.

Dwi'n crio yma. Mae angen i pawb yng Nghymru yn weld y fideo bendigedig yma. Hanes pwsig iawn.
I'm crying here. Everyone in Cymru needs to watch this excellent video. Very important history.
Ysbrydoledig, dwin caru cymru🏴❤

I’ve always wanted to learn the welsh language but it looks too difficult
@@BenkYT-e6k It's not. Give it a go.
I don’t know how to speak welsh but I ❤ wales 🏴 YMA O HYD
I'm from Iraq and loves this song of Wales❤❤
i'm from England and this song is just beautiful behind you guys all the way cmon Cymru
I am not Welsh but this is an awesome song and very catchy tune, I could listen to this song for ages and not get bored of it, the chorus is just sublime!! 🤩🤩
I can’t even explain why but reading the comments and seeing people from other countries referring to Wales as Cymru has brought a tear to my eye! C’mon Cymru!
This is such a moving and passionate song- it was amazing to see and hear people in Newport, most of whom are not Welsh speakers, singing along with Dafydd Iwan when he visited last weekend.
Nothing, nothing gets me more pumped and more proud of my heritage than this song!!
AMAZING - I am Scottish but this is a cracking anthem. Our nations enjoy the rivalry but this makes me proud to be British. To our friends in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland - total respect for our cultures but we are all British. Be proud - stick together. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yma O Hyd isn't the Welsh Anthem. The Welsh anthem is Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. ;)
Yma O Hyd is a patriotic/nationalist song.
It would be nice if the English respected the Celtic peoples enough to consider them as equals, not lesser peoples or conquered subjects.
@allisonshaw9341 There is an area in Cardiff that used to be called Butetown, named after a Scottish abuser and exploiter of the Welsh people.
I'm not particularly having a go at the Scots, but it isn't just the English. You might not know but there used to be a Welsh whisky industry. When Scotland went into the union, they had the duty removed from Scottish whisky, but they insisted that Welsh whisky had to pay duty. They deliberately destroyed the Welsh industry.
There are many other stories, including stories involving Ireland.
However, I won't bother you with any more.
As a side note, Welsh is Brythonic Celtic, our linguistic brothers are the Cornish (a language that is still spoken), Breton, and also the language of Galicia in North West Spain. Mind you, Galician has been diluted with a lot of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin.
The Irish patron Saint was a Brythonic Celt kidnapped as a child from what is now Wales and enslaved in Ireland. The boy 'done well' he became the patron Saint of the country that enslaved him. :)
@@trevorroberts9584 Thanks for the info. More should share these bits of history so that we all have a better understanding.
@DafyddHughes-oq2hd They haven't destroyed us. We are still here and we will be till the end of time. :)
The language has survived and is, I believe, growing. My father used to tell me about the 'Welsh not' where in the area he lived if you were heard to accidentally speak so much as one word of Welsh in school you were beaten, made to wear a dunces hat and paraded through the village with a sign around your neck saying how stupid you were.
It didn't work mind. They still spoke Welsh at home, in the village shop, with friends, and later, they all made sure that their children spoke Welsh. :)
I just love it give me goose bumps proud to be welsh
Absolutely amazing, was so proud to be part of that night, will be watching with pride
My mum was born in Wales but I don't speak or understand Welsh.
This song gives me goosebumps. I love it 💙
Its a real banger, translates roughly to, 'we are still here!', 'after everything and everyone, Wales is still there'
Yma O Hyd, you sons of Speed! All the best Cymru, do your nation proud!
Goosebumps come on cymru 🏴!!!!!!!!!
This song is amazing and it will inspire wales in the World Cup , we are so proud to be welsh , well done wales
Good luck from Ireland 🇮🇪
I'm England but I heard this before the game yesterday what an anthem you welsh are unreal fans xxx
This is class from a Scotland fan good luck Wales 👏🏴🏴
I supported Scotland in the euros
The best about sport, it is when your identity and history emerge from your soul, and we can see the power of nations by its goodness. Buena Suerte galeses.
Respect for this song yma o hyd
Burst into tears when chorus start, proud of Cymru🏴
still buzzing about last night..basle again.were up and running 2016 again..im from welsh speaking family..for our language culture country and football team....yma o hyd
No other nation can match this anthem. It’s from God himself. 🏴
It was so good god sent Jesus down to have a look
I'm Scottish, but when I hear this I think of my old friend Pedr Lewis who served on the Artic conveys. He was a Welsh nationalist to his core and was sent to jail for his beliefs .
When I was a bairn my faither told me about the Aberfan disaster .. that tragedy and the CYMRU ANTHEM and YMA O HYD gives me a wee feeling for our fellow Welsh Celts 🎵🎵
I'm ENGLISH But Never felt loyalty to England??? Maybe my Scottish Rootz,,,,
,💪🏼😉
That's my country!✊🏼♥️ Yma o Hyd!👑
Born in wales and proud to be welsh ❤
This, the anthem, tân yn Llyn, Men of Harlech and Sospan bach 🏴🏴🏴 The Heat is turning up! The day the Welsh understand who they really are is the day of great Revival!! 🏴🔥🏴🔥🏴🔥
I will never forget this song
Win or lose, the Welsh nation has a special place in our Irish hearts - this song, like many of ours, epitomises our respective struggles and coming out the other end, bigger better and our own people - Respect from Ireland - Go Cymru - the big game next, do it for your country, we are with you all the way here ❤💚
You know that wales was a staging ground for the first English conquest of Ireland right?

Keeping our celtic language is vital... a great unifier! In Wales still growing, Ireland and Scotland press harder!
RY'N NI YMA O HYD
The reason I became a Wales fan - this absolute beauty of a song
Grandpa was a proud yet humble Welshman born in St. Davids and I will be supporting Wales with all my shared Brythonic Celtic Welsh-Irish roots, though born in England... I love Wales and Ireland.... Come on Cymru, make us British Islander mongrels proud of our Welsh heritage 🤩😍 Dafydd Iwan's song is the 12th man and so powerful. With a little luck, who knows....?
No Scotland sadly so I'll be cheering on the Welsh boys. That song is absolutely dynamite. Beautiful
Probably the best and most passionate football anthem I’ve ever heard , respect from a England fan
Outstanding! So excited for the World Cup - brought a tear to my eye!
Can’t wait to hear this everywhere in the next few weeks, or to see Y Ddraig Goch up there with the flags at Qatar22. I liked the inclusion of the Rainbow Wal flags in the video too, nice one for Qatar. I had Dafydd Iwan on my bedroom wall 50 years ago, but I could never have imagined this.
Simply incredible. The emotion and passion in this song and video is unrivalled. The best football athem there has ever been. Goosebumps. From a N. Ireland fan I'll be cheering on the Welsh men in Qatar.
Diolch Matt, pob hwyl i ti 👍
Good luck to our Celtic Brothers from Scotland. 🏴🏴 especially against that mob

If it wasn't for us English there wouldn't be such a wealth of Scottish, Irish and Welsh rebel songs - a modicum of gratitude wouldn't go a miss.
