Was with my Granddad and my Dad at this game. Both of them have passed away now, but I use this to remember them 🏴
Sorry for your losses
Tom Cheers mate. There’s no community like the welsh rugby community. It’s always comforting to know that we look out for each other.
Daniel Jones yeah of course we will always have each others backs, it’s the nature of rugby itself
Daniel Jones love from the welsh. Sorry for the welsh
💯💯💯🏴🏴🏴🏴
If you’re welsh, it’s tradition to come back to this video once in a while 😂🏴
I am not Welsh ( Kiwi) but every few months I come here for a good dose of goosebumps. :)
Yeah i can agree on that one 😂
I'm not Welsh but i come here because it has the same tune as our patriotic song " Ri Khasi" which was written by a Welshman missionary in the 19th century. He translated this Welsh song into Khasi language n till today we sing it😉
I’m English and enjoy it every now and then. Brilliant people
5 times a day for me 🥲
When a team, the stadium public and an entire people sing together like that, with so much enthusiasm and such power, that team cannot lose.
Long live to Wales.
A French rugby fan.
you don't beat Wales at rugby, but you may score more points than them...
Fuck me, I'm English but this is the greatest national anthem in the world. I've spent a lot of my 49 years in Wales and this - particularly sung by a mass crowd - makes me cry every time. Cymru am byth.
To be born Welsh is to be privileged. Not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but music in your blood and poetry in your soul.
And a pretty mean sidestep!
Making me shed a tear, this thread! Time is ticking on all of us...enjoy what we have.
@@ashleyjudecollie why do you say that?
Afonn
never a truer word I don't want a religious service when I go .I Iive in England and love it. But I do not want English vinegary voices murdering Welsh chapel hymns
Yyy
I'm American and watch this probably 3-4 times a month.
They are harmonizing like angels for chris' sake.
Welsh have been famous for their singing and choirs since ancient times, great to have them as part of the British isles.
Mate, it’s who we are. No magic. No voodoo. Just a love of country, pride and passion.
I’ve been gone from cymru for close to 40 years yet the fire still burns. It’s just who we are .........
@@inthestates2461 Hiraeth
Chris'?
Singing is a BIG part of education in Welsh schools. Anyone who went to school in Wales will know the word 'Eisteddfod' means many afternoons in the school hall singing in front of an hilariously angry headmaster and a plinky-plonk piano.
I swear every Wales is just one huge choir.
The second line is literally “land of poets and singers”
And warriors 👀
@@alynwillams4297 where no English can never take the Welsh away from their homeland...
We even sing when we talk 🥰
Three Welsh men together, you have a choir.😊🏴
The Welsh are just too good at synchronised singing, it's so harmonic.. by far one of the best people's on Earth.
I've just discovered this national anthem. Tears come down from my eyes. Best regards from Catalonia.
And in Wales we love Catalonia!
Love and respect to Catalonia from Ireland. We are all one
I was at the solidarity with Catalonia rally in Cardiff Wales just after the vote. One day you will be free.

My uncle died the morning of this match at 46 without warning a true Welshman and rugby mad I like to think as my fellow countrymen sung that morning their voices carried my uncles soul to the gates of heaven ❤️ 🏴
I’m sure it did. I’m English but oh boy I just get so emotional whenever I hear this.
May he rest in peace...
Most beautiful anthem in the history of humanity. Much love to the Welsh people, from an argentine from Trelew, Y Wladfa.
In Wales you are not forgotten...
This is possibly the greatest rendition of any national anthem I have ever heard. Spine tingling and I'm not even welsh
Agree.
As an Englishman I was in my first year at uni during this game, it was my very first experience of been in a bar full of welsh fans during this national anthem. All I can say it was absolutely spine tingling, even as an Englishmen it gives me goosebumps. Don’t think there’s a better anthem in my opinion.
🏴🏴🇬🇧
Same here. Although I was out in the middle of the country, watching in a pub. A very moving experience.
Independence is coming! 🏴
@@alynwillams4297 dont say that
@@alynwillams4297 your gonna spark an argument
The Anthem in Cardiff - the greatest sound in international sport with no equal anywhere ...
It's from a long.time ago, but I just wanted to say: I was in Cardiff for this match, and what people don't see in this video or maybe know, is that every Welsh person in every pub in Cardiff watching this match was also singing their lungs out. I went outside to hear it, and could hear the whole city in song.
No sound like it on earth only in heaven
The French come second....more Celtic emotion forged in iron....
@@binkyboobosh1 I was at the 2008 Grand Slam winning game against France with my late Dad, lots of French in that day and the Marseillaise was sung loud & proud, when it finished a Welsh voice somewhere behind us shouted “We can do better than that lads!” and we did, I’d never heard it sung so loud in my life. I don’t anyone had any voice left the next day, I definitely didn’t. The 2013 game was the only time I’ve heard sung louder fwiw.
Am blown away. Am not Welsh btw but this is hands down magnificent. I have always thought that the Welsh anthem is the finest in the world and this rendition, the first time I ever heard the anthem or even knew that Wales has an anthem, is the best. I actually feel an upwelling of emotion for a country that is not even my own.
We thank you for that.
+embe1 we thank you. Cymru am byth
I feel the same way. The Welsh National Anthem is magnificant indeed. It's the only national anthem (apart from the Dutch anthem) i stand up for in front of the television. And they're my favourite rugby team, ofcourse!
As an Englishman, I would pay 10 times the entrance fee just to listen to this. So proud of our Welsh neighbours. Dduw bendithia chi.
better than our national anthem. that is pure shite
Duw no double d a word can't mutate without a word before it
Cocoen saes
It's absolutely magnificent, isn't it?
Champion.
I have scrolled through 100's of comments under this video and it's apparent that people from all over the globe unanimously agree that this anthem is indeed the best anthem in the world 🏴
It is indeed and I say that as a fiercely proud Englishman
I’m English and my wife is Welsh.We were at this game and I have never heard anything sung with such passion. So much riding on this game and we (England ) were beaten before a ball had been kicked.
Anyone who says Welsh is a dead language should see this.
Anyone can learn a few words pal
@@Adam-kt7howell yes you learned a few words of English, well done
I'm South African and often return to this video. The most beautiful National Anthem in the world. I can listen to it again and again!
There’s an amazing video of the South African national anthem.. yours is amazing too…
I'm not Welsh, but listening to this every time Wales play, me n the wife turn it right up and finish in tears. There is nothing more uplifting than this song, sung altogether in a stadium to celebrate the beautiful country and people
thank god its not only me that it brings to tears
im english, but i understand completely... this gives me chills down my spine and almost makes me wish i could just be welsh for a week... i wish england in general had this much passion :) although my last name is jones so maybe it is something deep inside me that is connecting with the song, who knows? :)
I’m so proud to be welsh and speak welsh the fact that our anthem can make you cry makes me so happy :)
That is simple the most moving and emotional rendition of any national anthem I have ever heard and I am an Englishman, god bless the Welsh
Fucking love The Welsh. So much respect from Ireland and I look forward to drinking with the Welsh fans next year. Great people
I look forward to getting lost on O'Connell St before the game - as I try to pay homage to Tyrone's Dublin man, Flann O'Brien. I hope I'm able to remember the game and get back home. There's a 1st time for everything.
My wife and our two friends were in Dublin when Wales beat England. Loved the Irish, they remind me so much of us Welsh, such lovely people and they were right behind us when we played. Temple bar and the Guinness was awesome too lol
Velcro you are one Irish person who respects I know it’s a bit late but happy St. Patrick’s day mate! We love you~ from wales
It's just a strip of water that prevents the Welsh and the Irish from being joined at the hip. I've worked with many Irishmen, and loved them all.
Goosebumps... perfect harmony, extraordinary passion, a very rousing anthem
Love from Scotland 🏴🏴

I'll never get tired of watching this video. What a national anthem. Love from Brasil, Cymru bros! 🏴🇧🇷
Cymru am byth cariad!
I'm Italian and I consider the welsh anthem the best in the world, it gives me goosebumps every time. Simply magnificent.
My great great grandparents came here from Wales to Pennsylvania to the anthracite fields. He died in a mine collapse, she from tuberculosis, but they had children that excelled and we are doing so well. We fly the Dragon on St David’s Day and anytime Wales is playing we sing Land of our Fathers.
I’m an Englishman but nothing even comes close to this as an anthem. Goosebumps every time
I am an African-American man who had never heard "Land of My Fathers" sung before. A friend had recommended that I do so, saying that in the right setting hearing it sung would be an unforgettable experience. Having now done so, I understand a little more the great love the Welsh have for their native land and its history. Let me recommend to anyone who reads this that they listen to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to understand something of the history of my people.
+Raymond Macon From a Welshman thank you it means a lot
I wasn't in the stadium that day but I was in Cardiff shopping and I could hear it from Inside St David's Shopping centre...i started welling up. CYMRU AM BYTH
I can't stop listening to this.
A choir of 80 thousand singing to perfection. Life changing.
most welcome
Magnifique!
Imagine having to play this lot at Cardiff after hearing this...makes the haka seem like a disco dance
6 years later.
16th March 2019.... Wales v Ireland at the Principality Stadium (Wales home stadium), with Wales unbeaten and looking to complete the Grand Slam.
It's going to be pretty mental.
Just like Ireland was going to beat England 🤔
Kyle Griffiths and how England were suppose to beat wales, bring it on!!!
Come on Wales we can do it btw alun wyn Jones is my cosin
And Wales did it.
One of the biggest dream I have is to go to the millenium just once in my life, to live this insanely emotional moment... and I'm french.
Provencal le Gaulois its a wonderful thing
I'm Welsh and now and again when I'm overloaded with college work I just listen to this. It is amazing to hear when you're there.
I was there for this moment and honestly I can't describe the feeling, the goosebumps I felt were like nothing I have before ❤️
Provencal le Gaulois it’s beautiful you can’t believe how loud it is
I love to make your dream come true I have a spare ticket for the game on sat 22
My favorite anthem ever. I come back to this on a bi-weekly basis. I'm not even Welsh lol.
Me neither, I'm Hungarian. But I love it, it's the most beautiful anthem in the world. OK, the Slovenian anthem, too - my two great favourites. Possibly because I love both countries? :)
@@laszlokristo5383 hmm
@@darrendiggins9853 😋😉🏴🏉
The togetherness in the singing is just unbelievable for a crowd that size. Everyone is breathing together. No one is rushing. The words are crisp and clear. The tone is full and ringing. Beautiful, spontaneous music. Cymru am byth
as a proud Scot, i can honestly sit here & say this is the greatest version of any national anthem I have ever heard. so much passion!!
Amy Macdonald signing The flower of Scotland beats this and that is coming from a Welshman.
The welsh bring so much passion to his anthem it gives me goosebumps that's from a proud Englishman as well FairPlay to the Welsh even in football Cardiff and Swansea are class
+contee12345 espacially the Swansea ballboy against Chelsea showed some great fairplay
Being from New Zealand, going to the Arms Park to watch a rugby match was high on my to do list, because if you guys dont know it New Zealanders love the Welsh. Their passion and love of rugby is as great as ours. But hearing you guys sing your anthem in that amazing stadium was just beautiful. The atmosphere was so overwhelming it is something I will never forget.
This is probably the 100th time I listen to this anthem. I love i5 so freaking much, even though i understand nothing. Much love to Wales, from South Africa.
Love to you in South Africa. Congratulations on your world cup win...again.
1. This land of my fathers is dear to me
Land of poets and singers, and people of stature
Her brave warriors, fine patriots
Shed their blood for freedom
Chorus:
Land! Land! I am true to my land!
As long as the sea serves as a wall
For this pure, dear land
May the language endure for ever.
2. Old land of the mountains, paradise of the poets,
Every valley, every cliff a beauty guards;
Through love of my country, enchanting voices will be
Her streams and rivers to me.
3. Though the enemy have trampled my country underfoot,
The old language of the Welsh knows no retreat,
The spirit is not hindered by the treacherous hand
Nor silenced the sweet harp of my land.
I had no idea what any national
Anthem meant, till I spent 12 months in South Wales! The passion and the love the Welsh have, is absolutely incredible!! When you experience the Millennium stadium. It’s clearly like no another!! Bless the Welsh and her people...
Dear Wales , Thank you for giving me my beautiful Grandfather Alexander Oram Thomson (1909-1996)who was born in Holyhead ,Anglesea North Wales. love from Robert Alexander Osborne in Auckland, New Zealand
Respect my good friend much love from the land of poetry and song
Thank you , I have always seen Wales as a second home just like England
@@robosborne7103 I'm from Wales and I love my country. I am really fond of New Zealand, I would love to travel there someday, I think we have much in common
Your welcome any day here in NZ @Kyle Griffiths Love Cymru :)
At the bronze match against New Zealand this year - 2019 in Japan - I was queuing in the gents when some loud drunks started singing the anthem - the dining grew louder and I turned to see who they were. It was four Japanese guys, word perfect in Welsh shirts, still bring a tear to my eye, wonderful welcoming people.
Hahahah! Long live your poets and singers!
Not many know that "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" was the first ever national anthem to be played at ANY sporting event.
It happened in 1905 when the New Zealand All Blacks, the best of the Southern Hemisphere played Wales, the triple crown winners and best of the Northern Hemisphere at Cardiff. It was the first time the Haka was done in Wales.
In response Teddy Morgan started singing the Welsh national anthem in spontaneous defiance. The huge crowd picked it up.
The All Blacks said it was mesmerising.
As a result of this one incident national anthems are now routinely played at sporting events.
I'm a rugby fan from a non rugby country and THIS is exactly why I'm a supporter of Wales in rugby. It was a dream come true for me to see a 6 Nations game at the Principality and I still have goosebumps all over when I recall hearing the anthem live, sung by tens of thousands. This video brings back the memories.
Now I don't understand a single word of that beautiful anthem, but I think I can see the message in the faces of the players. Those guys love their country and are proud of it. And despite the centuries of oppression, their language is still alive.
Good for you mate. From wales.
Check the video Welsh anthem land of my father's it translates the lyrics in English at least then you will know what it is we sing about.
I worked in a pub down the road from the stadium and the anthem filled the streets i could hear it behind the bar. Sensational feeling ill never forget.
Fuck me. There's not a Welsh bone in my body but the atmosphere and the passion of this anthem is inescapable. Mad respect to the Welsh. Keep that Celtic bard tradition alive.
From an Englishman I can confidently say this is the best national anthem there is
I'm a Scot and I agree! :)
And we have the best flag😉
I lay my Nanna down to rest two days ago and have held all my emotion in! She was Irish but lived in Wales her whole life....we are scattering her ashes off the boat inbetween Wales and Ireland❤
This powerful anthem of mine just tipped me over the edge and it all came flooding out!
I dont think ude meet a much more patriotic welshman than me....other than the rest of us welshmen👍🏼❤🏴
What a lovely place to scatter her ashes, respecting both sides of her (and your) heritage! Stay strong my dude.
Huge Respect from New Zealand. No body is more patriot when it come to the national anthem. Goosebumps.
Diolch yn fawr mate.

I am an Englishman from Essex, and yet, every time I hear this anthem I have a lump in my throat. It's one of the very Greatest National Anthems, deeply moving...
Clark Renney The lyrics are what get me the most. The name of the anthem (when translated) is "Land of my Fathers" and it doesn't honour a monarch, it speaks of the land and its people. I don't hate the monarchy, but I'd prefer to sing about our brave defenders and the land that I love rather than the people who live in great ivory towers. Cymru am byth
See a doctor
that means a lot :) thanks, diolch
My Uncle followed the 81 wallabies on tour from Australia and said one of the greatest moments in his life was being at Cardiff Arms Park with the Welsh crowd singing.
Wales, you’re bloody beautiful and your anthem is a whole different thing - respect from an Englishman
diolch brawd!
🏴🏴🇬🇧
🤝
Diolch yn fawr!
Diolch. Thank you :)
As an Englishman if this doesn't inspire the Welsh nothing will. Scares me to death!
Thank you. stay strong sending strength and courage to you and your loved ones we welcome everyone not matter who they are. The anthem is not to scare anyone but gives us Welsh. Hope. passion. Courage. And mostly importantly healing.
No other anthem will ever beat this. This has got to be the best one on youtube.
Without question the greatest National Anthem of them all and a whole country proud to sing it, as they should be, absolutely beautiful and totally uplifting, and I'm an Englishman.
Coming back to remind myself what it was like before, can’t wait for it to be like this again, one day
I'm American but my family is largely Welsh. Every year on Memorial Day my Grandmother's church holds a Cymanfa Ganu and this is always the last song we sing, always in the original Welsh.
Do you know where in wales they were from?
Not many atmospheres around the world give you goosebumps as much as this one. From start to finish. The welsh are so fanatical when it comes to their rugby. One of the best atmospheres in the world
It's a ' Religion ' 😁
We're easily the most passionate country in the world
When I struggle in life, I often just watch this on repeat. I miss my people, my village, my country.
Not even when I’m struggling, I’m not even Welsh. This is just by far the best national anthem of all time, and attended a Wales rugby game in Cardiff is still on my bucket list. Brings tears to my eyes every single time!
❤🏴
As an Englishman to hear this brings me out in goosebumps. Incredible.
As an Englishman that was incredible. Even brought a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. You have to respect the Welsh for that.
Thank you.
Diolch mate.
Love to hear the instruments perform the short introduction and then fade out to let the wonderful Welsh voices do the talking. Absolutely perfect synchronisation and tempo here. The greatest anthem in the world. Best served acapella
Cymru am byth!
Cymru am byth!
For a whole staium of people to harmoniously change tune for "Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad" is astonishing! We are a nation of singers!
Step 1: Plug in Headphones
Step 2: Turn up volume full blast or as loud as you can bear it
Step 3: Close eyes and you are virtually there
I watched this live and still remember thinking 'omg we're losing this'. Amazing how another county's anthem can properly bring me to tears. Truly jealous of your anthem. (from an England fan)
What an atmosphere wales creates with his powerful anthem! Greetings from Argentina brothers🇦🇷
ty brother
it is the best National Anthem in the world. Sung by a crowd like that, it should give many people who are not even Welsh, at minimum goosebumps. Tears are just as appropriate. Let's see who responds to this post from all over the world. Respect, in advance.
Came here after reading an article in The Guardian about the awfulness of God Save the King, to remind me of the better national anthems. I completely agree. Just watching this on TH-cam brings on the goosebumbs and, yes, tears. God, that's good.

Small world. My father worked at the steel works after he got out of school. @@malcolmgullam8348
It is kind of fitting that the first anthem ever to be sung before an international sporting event was this one (Wales vs New Zealand, Cardiff, 1905 - in response to the haka) and it is still the best! Cymru Am Byth!
I don't speak Welsh but I want to learn this phonetically and then gradually start to piece it together. Such a beautiful anthem! Performed with such heart by my Welsh neighbours. Respect
Respect to you for showing such grace..
By far the best national anthem in the world from an Irish fan. Gave me goosebumps
The moment I stood in Cardiff, I knew I had to take my children to watch a match here. I had tears in my eyes whilst hearing this magnificent anthem. Wales won with the last kick off the game vs Australia. Priceless memories. Best atmosphere I've have ever experienced. I'm 45 years old.
I will always remember this game! Pub was packed to the rafters, every single Welshman and woman belting out the anthem full of belief that our team would win! But we didn’t expect Wales to give England the drumming they got, the room was bouncing! One of the best nights of my life and one I will never forget so long as I live! #CymruAmByth
From an Englishman, this is simply the best national anthem in the world. Love and respect to our Welsh friends.
True...listen to the England dirge about Royals when there are homeless & want to vomit.
Respect, @First Last, Nive too see an english person not slagging us off😁
To be fair though our anthem is about our ancestors defending our land from the Romans (they never suppressed the native population), Anglo-Saxons (English) (Invasion), Normans (Vikings) (Invasion), English(could not suppress the native population), Irish (raids), Scottish (raids) and Vikings (raids) the first section of the song mentions "her brave warriors, fine patriots shed their blood for freedom".
Granted, after a Welsh family got the throne of England (Henry Tudor) his son went against his fathers intentions of keeping England and Wales separate because he wanted central control.
Its also about the natural beauty of Wales + it being home to musicians and bards in addition to the survival of the Welsh language.
@Florentine 193 Being Welsh I have to say my own anthem will always come first. But if God Save the Queen was replaced with Jerusalem for England as well as for Britain as a whole then I'd gladly sing it. I never sing God Save The Queen. The monarchy is nothing but a tourist attraction now and I'm not a royalist. And a national anthem should be about the country...not about a monarchy or one person. It's time that anthem was replaced. During sports events I'll always sing my anthem, Flower of Scotland and I would sing Jerusalem too.
General Zeave Not all the English are like that, my friend. I’m English but some of my all time favourite sportsmen are Welshmen - Wyn Davies and Ollie Burton - both ex Newcastle Utd. You have fine singers, beautiful scenery and some of the most welcoming and warm people around........... not to mention some cracking looking women. Lot to be admired about Wales, General, and your anthem tops it all off . I’ m not alone in my thoughts back here in England. Cheers and good luck.
I was born in England but my dads side of the family are from wales porthcawl area my dad passed away this past friday he was proud of hes welsh heritage and so am i i love wales been going since i was little kid R.I.P dad 😭
RIP
I've seen a lot of sports in my time, this is hands down the loudest and most impressive anthem that I've ever heard in all of sports. Much respect from NZ.
2022, I’m Scottish and I’m crying…no wonder they won…after this they couldn’t lose…forza Galles🏴
I'm Welsh, I come back to this video often... I try & avoid the one where Shane Williams plays his last international, mostly because I can't watch it without crying...
They say we're not a proper country... this is my answer...
I’m English but this makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up....incredible!
I'm English, born and raised in Shropshire. Wales is my second favourite country on earth. A beautiful country with fantastic people and by God they can't half belt out a tune.
I'm from the US, and I'm not sure if I have Welsh blood in me, but I bawl like a baby every time I hear Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau! Cymru Am Byth!!!!
Jim Maloney honestly not being bias but the welsh anthem is the best personally
Always gives me goosebumps but I'm Welsh and very proud! You don't just hear our anthem you feel it ❤️

I don't understand a word. I am South African.
But I still come back to this as the most beautiful anthem I have ever heard in my entire life.
They even managed a harmony. A stadium managed a harmony. Outstanding
Cause it was the Welsh that were singing. It's in our blood
i think there was a choir on the field, but yeah, sounds amazing.
The others might have had a fair bass section, but they had no top tenors, that's for certain. :-)

GOD BLESS WALES AND ITS WONDERFUL PEOPLE
Your anthem is outstanding..as are your people.
You're a friggin legend mate! Love you Italians!!!
Hi Massimo, The world knows that Italians are passionate, beautiful, meliflous, singers (and people), and there is a saying in my Country 'Cymru' that, "Welsh Men (and Ladies) are 'Italians in the Rain'". Many of your ancestors walked from Bardi to South Wales to work in the coal mines and later to set up successful Cafes and other businesses, they integrated wonderfully with the native Welsh, Y Cymry. The "Welsh Italians' are much loved and highly respected in Wales, since I believe our peoples have the same values and roots.
Dio Benedica l'Italia
Duw Bendithia yr Eidal.
My Dad was an ex Coal Miner and Welsh rugby fan through and through...He passed away shortly after this game. His brother sent him all the sports newspapers from Wales...but my Dad never really got a chance to read them all, but good memories to go out on
A rough translation from the Welsh here:
Dear England,
If you think
You can come here
to Cardiff
to Wales
And win a Grand Slam
On our patch
Like it's just another game of rugby...
We're terribly sorry
But you are very much mistaken
Regards,
Wales
This is absolutely the best singing anthem i´ve ever heard in all sports history
It was literally the first national anthem heard in sporting history. It is the reason national anthems are played in sport. It was sung spontaneously by Welsh rugby fans in defiance of the haka in 1905 at the first NZ vs Wales rugby game!
@@richardsmith2825 The first and still the best.
Coming from an Englishman i can hand on heart say this is the best Anthem ever
Cheers mate🙌
My two sons and my grandson took me to this game for my 70th birthday. I listen to this time after time. So proud.
That sounds brill
Now THAT'S a National Anthem. Huge respect from here in New Zealand. Most All Blacks fans have Wales as their "second team"
Same here. The All Blacks are the only team we don't mind losing to.
Im welsh so first I have to say thank you I love the 'haka' but second off the only team we mind loosing is the English my second favorite teem is actually New Zealand
Same here in Ireland. We loves Wales, basically we love anyone except England 😂💚
I'm Welsh and the All Blacks are my "second team". Much respect for you guys in our country.
@@_DuxNet Yep, definitely a mutual respect mate. Probably why All Blacks v Wales is always a fascinating match !
As a Scot, I wish we had a song anywhere near as good as this. Best anthem in the world, by a million miles. Flower of Scotland is a strong song, with a powerful message, but this anthem blows it out the water. Incredibly passionate, powerful and meaningful song.
Scotland does not have its own Celtic language and hasn't had for a millenia...Scotland's language is Scots, Germanic sister tongue to English, suffocated out of useable existence with the act of union when it was dismissed as 'bad English'. You misunderstand Scotland, its people and its language to suggest its anthem should be in a Celtic language.
+Robert Fairbairn Scotland does have it's own Celtic language, it's quite well known. However I wasn't actually suggesting Scotland should have a Celtic anthem, at no point did I mention the language.
+Scott Herd wasn't talking to you bud. can't work TH-cam comments. someone replied to you suggesting we ditch our 'anglo saxon anthem'.
Flower of Scotland is amazing. Gives me goosebumps by the way I live in the town where the Welsh anthem was written and put to music .I love Scotland and it's flower .respect man ..
Scotland, Wales, Ireland all Celtic brothers :) best of luck in the rest of the world Cup, mon Ireland!!
So there I was at Birmingham city centre being the only guy with a welsh rugby shirt on for 100 miles. The streets were full of devastated englishmen drowning their sorrows with ale. Trying to remain humble in this euphoric moment I hear from across the street "Fucken Come on wales. Yee fucken slaughtered them english bastards aye!" from a scotsman. I'll remember that.
As an England fan back in 2013 I knew as soon as I heard this it wasn’t going to be our day. What an atmosphere, full of passion and patriotism, wonderful
As a Scot we have a no bad national anthem ourselves but there's something about the Welsh singing theirs just seems to add an extra something special. Pure class!
