    The first time I heard them in Zulu some 30 years ago, I've had their songs rattling around in my heard. The only song to do so. Beautiful harmony.

      ...indeed...

      ...reminds me to another classic, when in 'Cassablanca' the Germans sung 'Die Wacht am Rhein' and the Frech fought back with their 'Marseillaise'...!

      Same here. First time I heard a version of the song was Zulu. It’s become the song I listen to when I need a pick me up. Or get revved up for a big event.

      Lieutenant John Chard: [the Zulus are chanting before their final charge] Do you think the Welsh can't do better than that, Owen?
      Pvt. Owen: Well, they've got a very good bass section, mind, but no top tenors that's for sure.

    Hark, I hear the foe advancing
    Barbed steeds are proudly prancing
    Helmets in the sunbeams glancing
    Glitter through the trees.
    Men of Harlech, lie ye dreaming
    See ye not their falchions gleaming
    While their pennons gaily streaming
    Flutter in the breeze.
    From the rocks resounding
    Let the war cry sounding
    Summon all at Cambreais call
    The haughty foe surrounding
    Men of Harlech, on to glory
    See your banner famed in story
    Waves these buring words before ye,
    "Britain scorns to yield!"
    Mid the fray see dead and dying
    Friend and foe together lying
    All around the arrows flying
    Scatter sudden death.
    Frightened steeds are wildly neighing
    Brazen trumpets loudly braying
    Wounded men for mercy praying
    With their parting breath.
    See they're in disorder,
    Comrades, keep close order
    Ever they shall rue the day,
    They ventured o'er the border.
    Now the Saxon flees before us,
    Victr'ry's banner floateth oe'er us,
    Raise the loud exulting chorus,
    "Britain wins the field!"

      Since this entire conflict started I've had an obsession with watching zulu over and over, specifically the part where the zulus try to force the Welsh out on their final push, but the Welsh respond with singing men of harlech. Seeing how the 24th Regiment of foot stood their ground at rorkes drift in 1879 and how Ukrainians, both soldiers and civilians, even their leader standing their ground show too much similarity
