I am a 63 year old Englishman. Lived 20 years here in Wales. I had the pleasure of attending a Welsh international at Cardiff last year. When the Welsh national was sung, i had a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye and the hairs standing up on the back of my neck. Nobody else in the world comes anywhere near the Welsh at singing. Wonderful. Awesome.
I'm William from Edinburgh Scotland UK I've stood in Murray field stadium along with Welsh fans it's been a pleasure and a privilege listening to the Welsh belt the national anthem out God bless the Welsh
God bless you brother 🏴
The greatest national anthem on earth, and this from a patriotic Englishman
I’m English but Welsh supporter and to hear this song in the principality is mind blowing. The pride of being Welsh is amazing and I envy every Welsh person but I sing this With them in Welsh.
You still call us sheepshagers and belittle us when your with your English mates though, I dont care if you support Wales. Its respect you should give us
I am a 67 year old Englishman but I simply cannot ever watch and listen to this anthem without tears flooding down my cheeks. I have no welsh ancestry, no welsh relations and the nearest I ever came to being near the welsh was standing side by side with striking miners in the 1980's and laying tarmac at Cardiff Airport as a job of work. If anyone know's why the tears just come, please tell me?
I'm the same, I live abroad but when I hear the anthem I am in tears and my children as they have a welsh mam know they are welsh not dutch and are very proud to be so.............
All I can say is get yourself to a game and witness it first hand! It is THE best anthem in the world… period!
I'm a proud Welsh woman and our anthem has me in tears every time, Cymru Am Byth 🏴
Tears of joy 🤙
Thank you for your support 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Of course, this was the very first national anthem ever sung before an international sports match - Wales vs New Zealand at rugby, 1905. Started the whole tradition.
I think it’s the best anthem in the world, I’m biased as I’m Welsh. Thankyou for your reaction 😊🏴
Your not biased mate ,Ask any Welshman
@@shaun30-3-mg9zsyou know it 🤣🏴
I'm English and completely agree 👍🏻
The sheer passion when Welsh crowds sing their national anthem is overwhelming. Being under English rule for 700 years will do that to you.
Welsh is taught in every school in Wales, most can speak the basics, many of us speak Welsh as a first language.
Respect to you for recognising our language, thank you
"Welsh is taught in every school in Wales" is it?
I was born in Wales 40+ years ago, my parents moved to Australia in the very early 80's. My dad speaks perfect Welsh.. my mum not a word!! they grew up 5 mins walk from each other. I guess things have changed (for the better) because my mum say's she was never taught Welsh. I was 2 when I got to Aust.. and I speak more Welsh than her LOL.. yaki dah
@@hugh_mungus0184 not sure how it used to be but it is now as it’s a required gcse
The Welsh language act of 93 made it so everyone learns Welsh throughout the entirety of your schooling. Prior to that it was different but I learnt Welsh all the way through school and so does everyone else born after that date✌
Unfortunately not true. There are many private schools that avoid Welsh altogether. Secondary schools have offer Welsh as a subject, but in some areas you'd be hard pushed to hear it.
There are private schools but there are also welsh schools that speak welsh as their first language in every class
Thank you for listening to our national anthem. Mae Hen wlad fy Nhadau ( pronounced M-aye Heh-n Oo-lard vuh Nn-had-aye) means Land of My Fathers. It bestows the pride the Welsh have in their language, culture and country. You can look up the English translation to get the gist but it loses its depth, poetry and meaning when translated into English. Many Welsh words have a deeper, poetic meaning than their English counterparts and there is often no direct translation into English. The Welsh Language is an ancient language, very much older than English. Sorry for the lecture but thought it may help to understand the anthem. Thank you again
For a guy who has no connection to my welsh nation, then to go on and have chills/goosebumps listening to it our anthem really warms my soul ❤
Proud to be Welsh
I'm a Yorkshire man and the Welsh anthem and its meaning gives me goosebumps by far the best anthem. Can't stand the anthems about monarchs and subservience.
The Yorkshire anthem is about being up on the moor without a hat
The British Anthem is a prayer - no mention of subservience.
What would be your reaction if the English banged on about nationalistic sentiments?
Aye you get goosebumps and then call us sheepshagers.the english are absolute idiots, youd join in the sheepshagger talk too
@@gordonsmith8899 So the king is gracious? He's a member of the WEF, a multi-billionaire group of eugenicists with a genocidal agenda, and stands accused (not entirely without evidence) of having his first wife murdered. And, in that dirge, what was that about slaying a load of Scots?
It doesn't matter which stadium this anthem is sung in, it totally takes over, electrifies the atmosphere like no other anthem on earth. God bless Wales.
I'll second that
Respect to you for attempting the beautiful language. The Welsh language is still very much alive. I'm glad our anthem gave you goosebumps, it means you felt the passion we feel
Diolch yn fawr o rhannu ein genedl! Thank you very much for sharing our nation!
Cymru | Wales - Dy'n ni'n wlad o Gan | We are the land of song.
Croeso i mynd pob amser pawb o'r byd | Welcome to come anytime people of the world!
Cariad fawr o Gymru | Much love from Wales x
Quite simply - The BEST national anthem on Earth!
God bless Wales. I'll try to learn basic Welsh to be able to sing the Welsh National Anthem when the team plays. Awesome greetings from Canada. Gwlad, Gwlad, Pleidiol wyf I'm Gwald.
I'm a 65 year old Dublin head , Irish...everytime I hear this it brings tears to my eyes , not just because its an awesome song but because I'm so happy I'm divorcing my half Welsh wife.....the Irish half I hope..GO Wales.
As a Welsh man, this just fills me with pride!
I know what you mean
If your lucky enough to be born Welsh your born with a Dragon in your Heart..
I count myself very lucky 🏴🏴🏴
Without doubt, this is the finest anthem of them all, I have a tear in my eye every time I hear it. It is against the law to stop it before the end !!!
I'm English and think the Welsh national anthem is the best in the world, always sung with such passion and gives me goosebumps every single time. The English national anthem is a dirge and an embarrassment.
Welsh here, I seen a documentary of sorts. Apparently in like early 1900s Wales, Ireland and Scotland song writers came up with these songs and were adopted as our national anthems. And apperently no one from England did (maybe because the Queen or king now our your actually queen and king) we respect them in Wales but was queen of England and be king of England. Not Wales, not Scotland or Ireland. I mean Wales ain't even represented in national or UK flag.
Jerusalem is England's true national anthem in my opinion.
There is no English national anthem so the English are made to sing the UK national anthem which makes no sense because it is also an anthem representing the Welsh. It's a joke played on the English every time they play a home nation.
@@carysdavies4696 Quite right that why I'm not British I'm Welsh
It's White Red Green for me
Take a quick look at then history between England vs Wales and you will start to understand the reason as to why Wales are so passionate
Some of my ancestors are from Wales. I speak just a smidgen of the language. I even have a huge Welsh flag that takes up most of my bedroom wall!
My flag is at the top of my stairs. ,87% Welsh, 9% Devon /Cornwall. 4% Scots.
@@iriscollins7583 96% Welsh/British NOT English
No Doubt. The BEST national anthem in the world. Pure passion and patriotic.
I am a Welsh speaker and it is my first language and yes, we do speak the 'old style' Celtic language every day. I speak it to my children, my parents, relatives and friends. English is my 2nd language. Around 20% of the population are fluent and are bilingual, Welsh is taught in ALL schools so even the other 80% can speak a little and understand the basics. The English have tried for centuries to stop us, but we won't let them beat us.
Great to hear you preserve your history and language thanks
I loved Welsh in school but couldn't take it for my A levels so did something else instead and now I've lost most of it - my Irish husband speaks it better than me!
sadly, many were stopped, my late Mother for one. She would turn 99 at the end of August had she lived...she made 79. She was born and brought up in Merthyr Tydfil South Wales. Preschool she spoke Welsh in the family. However, on going to school, the authorities wanted to stamp it out.. So this was, in her case, around 1929/30. One day she lapsed into Welsh speaking, after all, her native language and was roundly bit for it across her hands with a ruler. Her Father, A WWI decorated veteran was outrages and went down the school but was told the policy was no Welsh to be spoken.. they were ethnically cleansing the language. I was born and bred in England but have strong family links and am in daily touch almost with my cousins and one remaining uncle. None of my Mother's younger siblings spoke Welsh, even the old people,she said, her grandparents, stopped routinely speaking it in front of the little ones as teachers caned and smacked them for it. She did recall her Grannie, lol, and her friends, sitting around kitchen tables when she was little discussing things and whenever they got to a 'juicy' topic.. say someone's husband a drinker.. or violent.. or a baby out of wedlock, deemed highly unsuitable for the ears of the young they would discuss it in Welsh..by then none of the children could speak it. I get upset thinking about how those babies were physically punished, for speaking their native language, as if it were second class. Awful. I also recall the push to bring back the language in all schools.. the change of road signs and signs of official bodies and buildings being also in Welsh and wasn;t there a requirement for police etc. to speak Welsh as well as English?. It took a big concerted effort. One of my cousins daughters is an accomplished academic.. she has a Doctorate and she did Welsh Studies, Welsh language and I think French at one of the most prestigious colleges at Oxford. i think her fluency and academic study of the language and culture has closed the circle of what happened to her Grandfather's generation. My Mothers older brother, born in 1920, sent his son in the 60s to an all Welsh speaking school. All his lessons were taught in the language. He has thrived and has held many good positions in big institutions and organisations in Wales. to think those two peoples' grandparents were hit by teachers for speaking it.
As a welsh man there is so much pride and passion we put into this. The atmosphere in the stadium when this is sang is in my opinion unmatched
I'm Irish but the Welsh and Scots have the best National Anthems in the world.
I love the Irish and Scottish national anthems and I do love a good rugby game with Scotland and Ireland its the Celts in us
Well its certainly not the worst attempt at pronouncing the anthem I’ve ever heard
😂
Could be worse, could be trying to pronounce:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerwchwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch 🤣
It's interesting that Americans get goosebumps when thy're moved by somethin, I get goosebumps when I'm cold. And just to let you know my parents and their friends and neighbours communicate 100% in the Welsh language, they watch only Welsh language TV and only occassionally speak English when required. About 60% of the Welsh population speak Welsh, about 30% totally fluently.
I sang in the Choir on the pitch that day with Cor Meibion Y Fflint and Pendyrus Male Voice Choir, proudest day of my life. Atmosphere was electric…The Choir at Welsh home games not only sing the anthems for both teams, but entertain the crowd for 30 minutes before the kick off.
That would be my dream - to lead the singing of the anthem in the Principality Stadium in Cardiff (where I was born and grew up - still in Wales but not in Cardiff)!
Welsh male voice choirs are the biggest singing tradition in Wales (but not the only!), and those lads love their rugby union. The crowds are peppered with those magnificent voices and they lift everyone to the sky! If you're in the middle of it, wow!
You should watch and listen to the Red Wall, in the football match v Austria. (134) Yma o Hyd - Dafydd Iwan and The Red Wall - TH-cam
As a rugby fan and Portuguese, in 2013 I went to see a game at the Principality stadium vs Scotland and it is an emotional rendering of a really beautiful anthem.
When it is sung at the Principality stadium it is up there with the NZ haka.
Welsh Wendy here! Lovely to see this reaction, we still speak Welsh here, it’s strong…. The singing is our passion:) 🏴
“O bydded ir hen iaith barhau” which is the last line means , may the old language continue/carry on
I hope it does carry on!!
I'm so proud to be Welsh 💪
i was singing in the welsh choir in your footage it was my first public appearance with the choir and it was so emotional i had a great day and have sang there once again last year
I'm English but I love the Welsh national anthem and support Wales as well as England land of my father's is awesome and you need to listen to bread of heaven
My father told me that when he was at school in central Wales, in the 1930-40, they would stand a child in the corner and hit them across the back of their legs for .... "speaking that barbaric language", that is, for speaking Welsh. The English tried very hard to eradicate the Welsh language, but after 400 years, it and the Welsh are still here.
Greetings from Sweden
This is just Fantastic
I must say, theres only two anthems I enjoy listening to. One is the Welsh, other being the Scottish. Even though I'm not from neither one, im from Yorkshire, UK😁.
Thank you for liking my countries National Anthem . Also for trying to pronounce the name of the Anthem . Don't worry that it was not quite right 🤣 , we don't take offense . To be in the crowd to witness and hear the Anthem being sung at an International rugby game is something very , very Beautiful thing . Not just for the Welsh ear's and eyes , but also for the opposing teams players and team . But sometimes it's hard to sing when you got a lump in your throat the size of a Tennis ball 🤣 , such is the emotion , pride and passion we feel singing and being there , the same goes if in a pub or at home , it doesn't matter , we have such a Beautiful Anthem , and one hell of an awesome National Flag , with the Welsh Dragon . Thanks again . 🏴
As a descendent of a Welsh family by playing the national anthem of Wales you have done us proud. The pronunciation of the name of the song is My Hen Ulad ve Nadeye. Wlad is a declaration of Gwlad and is pronounced Lad and the title means The Land of my fathers. The language is a derivation of Brithonic or the Celtic language spoken in Britain before the Saxons arrived.
Im a proud Irishman but the welsh national anthem stirs the blood and brings a tear to my eye
GOD BLESS THE WELSH
I love my anthem, and the words mean a lot to me, so it's always nice to hear positive things from other people
Da iawn Diolch. I have just found your video and as always, it brought me to tears.
I wa born in England (Solihull) but we moved to North Wales (Llandudno) when I was 4yrs old. A fair number of my friends in those early years, spoke Welsh, so i got a good familiarity with Welsh before starting School (Bodafon Primary), where most of the kids from Penrhynside spoke Welsh (having learned it from their Grandparents / Parents). We were taught Welsh in School (which became Mandatory a few years after I left. My Youngest Sister speaks Reasonable Welsh too. I am Welsh to the very Core and having worked in Several Countries around the world, managed to find a Welsh contingent in Taiwan and Shanghai. When I moved to Dresden, Germany in 2000 for work, I discovered I was actually the second Welshman named Martin in Dresden. My Eldest Daughter speaks Welsh with reasonable fluency and my Younger Daughter (who was born in Dresden, {where my Gt Grandmother was born also} has good pronunciation) but I never pushed her to learn Welsh as she had three Languages growing up, English from me, Mandarin from her Mum and German from School but she could pick up Welsh pretty quickly if / when she wants to.
one of my favorite national anthems.
I am Welsh so I am proud of our national anthem even other countries supporters say the Welsh national anthem is probably the best
I'm Welsh married a Welsh girl but live in England my kids are Welsh and always will be and yes we speak Welsh at home.. Nos Da. sorry that comes of rude should have said cael diwrnod gwych...
Love this......Thank you !
Even God sings along with us as long as we leave the roof open so that he can watch us play.
Mae hen wlad fy nhafah: the old land of my fathers - O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau: let the old language live on. Yes we do still speak Welsh - also if you are interested in history, there is a version of welsh spoken in South America of all places ! See if you can look it up, it’s honestly both hilarious and interesting!
too right we still speak welsh.... ir hen iaith parhau!!
The area is Patagonia in Argentina. Not funny at all, a Welsh community settled there, and the language still thrives. Argentinian kids fluent in Welsh.
@@philjones45 Alrighty then, the story to why they settled there is funny. Maybe you should brush up on your history (ill give you a head start, 1865). Im welsh born, welsh educated, welsh speaking, so dont think im bashing wales - im also fully aware of where it is as i have visited Y wladfa, Patagonia myself. calm down kiddo
It is spoken in Patagonia, taken there by welsh migrants and still spoken as their first language. Quite a lot if people in Pennsylvania speak Welsh and watch Wales plsy rugby via large satellite dishes.
Lovely Reaction
I have goosebumps everytime I watch this anthem
Chills guarantee every time
Ryan Reynolds hit the nail on the head on his Wrexham show when he said it sounds like every welsh person you meet is an ambassador for Wales!
I think it's because we haven't been treated too well by some people and still get snide remarks about our passion for Wales.
That was filmed on St David's Day (Wale's national day) in the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. St David's Day is the Welsh equivalent of July 4 in the US.
What's on his ear? Most likely his mouth guard. Lots of rugby players tend to keep it on their ear when not keeping in the mouth. I don't know why we do it. Most likely because our shorts don't have pockets
Passion & national pride in song form!!
The Welsh nail it every time!!
Closely followed by the Scottish team, & fans, when they sing 'Flower of Scotland' !! 🏴
The Principality Stadium in Cardif in Wales is a 78,000 seater
Just for personel information the Man on the end of the welsh team belting out the anthem Is Alun Wyn Jones Wales most capped player and the most capped rugby player in the world
In 1998 or there abouts I was in a pub near the border with Scotland 6 nations time Wales v Scotland that weekend in Edinburgh, A coach pulled up and 30 thirsty welshmen yep all men , in 3 minutes a man started singing within minutes a 30 man choir sang and for 3 hrs sang almost without stopping,
There's an old saying that when an opposing team hears the Welsh anthem at the Principality (or the Arms Park in the old days), they were ten points down even before kick-off!
Welsh is still very much the first language of Wales not English. Though for the sake of general communication English has taken over. As someone who works for the Gov. we are duty bound to offer to send correspondence in Welsh if someone choses. The lanuage has a very sing song quality to it. and some of the most powerful and beautiful voices in the world have come from Wales. Sir Tom Jones, Dame Shirley Bassey, soprano Katherine Jenkins and tenors Bryn Trefel and Wynne Evans. Also actor and singer Luke Evans.
We got a kick Ass flag to go with it.
that's not the worst butchering I've heard! lol. if you want to get an idea of the welsh language, and the survival of it which is next to the country who's language is literally dominating the world have a look at a video titled "about the welsh language" by the channel julingo.
Another good video, I would recommend.
To answer your question about how we act whilst hearing/singing the anthem i personally instantly put my hand over my heart.
🏴pride
Love this comment, and no matter how many times I hear it, I get this lump in my throat and become overwhelmed with emotion.
My brain is always trying to decide whether to sing or cry. I’m not particularly ‘patriotic’ in my every day life but this song makes my heart feel funny.
I find the hand over the heart business very affected and pretentious. As well as many people have a strange Idea of where, the heart is situated, in the human body.
Last line .... O byddyd yr hen iaith barhau. Translation... Oh may the old language last forever!
Love it
I'm from northern Ireland but the Welsh a them has always been my favorite.
Put any twelve welshmen together and you have a choir
Haha awesome
Best anthem and flag in the world ❣️🏴❣️🏴❣️
👍 the land of song. My skin always rises when I listen to it, but I’m bias 👍 welsh is the only language that’s coming back year on year, unfortunately Scotland and Ireland’s langue is almost extinct, and the Irish language is soft I spoke to my nigh our in Scottish, and he didn’t even know that, so sad, the welsh language by the English crown government tried to stamp out the language calling it a dirty language when the children grew up late to early 19th century, and it started to decline, but there’s 5 distinctive different welsh languages, many more used to be from alley to valley or town to town, I like the welsh and English match don’t watch sport but every time I hear that sang, can’t help but have goose bumps and a tears in my eye. Thank you for covering it 👍🏴
Not many people know this, but Wales started the tradition of each country singing their national anthem before an international event way back in 1905. There is a much better version from a few years before in 2013, the atmosphere was electric and 78,000 of us nearly blew the roof off the stadium against the 'old enemy' - th-cam.com/video/AM4mIlYKG9s/w-d-xo.html
Mace around the world, Your really good at pronouncing your Welsh language, I think you might have a bit of Welsh in you ? Ask your Nana or Mum ? Just kidding, but love your passion, for what’s Good, anywhere ! Keep up your entertaining reporting ✌️🏴
And ...... We've got a dragon on our flag. :) Like Bhutan and Malta.
About 30% of the population of Wales can speak Welsh and about 15% speak it as a first language. Which is (roughly) 900k and 450k respectively. It's the most spoken Celtic language.
Listen to the next best Welsh song sang by daffydd Iwan at the millennium stadium "yma o Hyd " the crowd is absolutely amazing Wales v Ukraine .
If you miss the anthem it is like you missed the first half. Best anthem in the world by far
AND they're playing the bloody english!!!
I've seen a few videos now where people are listening to and reviewing the Welsh National Anthem 🏴 being Welsh, of course I love it and when I hear it I come out in goosebumps!
Cymru am Byth (Wales Forever) - pronounced come-ree am bith
It’s beautiful
Rugby forwards often put vaseline on their ears so that they don't get damaged when the scrum packs down and engages.
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau = The old country of my fathers
(approx pronunciation) My heyn oolad vuh hnad-eye
O bydded i'r heniaith barhau = Oh may the old language live on (continue)
(approx. pronunciation) O buth-ed ee'rr heyn-ee-eye-th barr-high
I am half Welsh - so maybe biased- but this anthem is beautiful ❤️
How did you get this job
When we are at our best it's only the very best teams at the time that can stand up to the team and more importantly the anthem, America could learn a thing or two from countries like mine (Wales) Ireland and Scotland, our anthem are not just songs but part of who we are as people
Welsh is very very much alive here. From TV, film, radio, music, literature and theatre to a bilingual government, official documents, road signs etc. The education system has an extremely popular Welsh language option which provides schooling in Welsh from pre school to postgrad. In my inner city street in Cardiff about 50% are Welsh speaking including my neighbours. To paraphrase, rumours of our demise are greatly exaggerated! It is the normal language of everyday life for all of us.
This, The Flower of Scotland and Le Marseilles choke me up the minute I hear them.
Just goosebumps when the voices swell
Cauliflower ear😂very common in rugby and wrestling. Can be very painful until its drained
Cymru am BYTH!🏴
Rule 1 of life : Never interrupt a National Anthem. Yours, or any other Country (etc)
I hope our anthem blew you away. Even as a welsh speaker It blows me away every time. Cymru am Byth❤️
Regardless of the occasion, Rugby Football regardless of the score as soon as the anthem is played we’ve already won
In my opinion, the Welsh National Anthem is the most beautiful of the entire world, and I'm not Welsh.
That's the captain of the teamx
There's not a couple try on Earth that sings their national anthem like the Welsh do at an International Rugby match.
As single "f" in Welsh sounds like an English "v". If you want the English "f" sound, it has to be "ff".
Most Americans I have spoken to don't know about Wales. They know Scotland, Ireland n England but not often 'Wales. Not only known for our history, singing, "Welsh gold is one of the best gold/s in the world. So much of Wales is overlooked. Wales, Scotland, England and Ireland 4 countries = Britain
A massive "Thank you" for your posts about the Welsh songs...Diolch
Fy nhadau is just my dads, but Welsh changes m to f, and also nasalises t to nh for 'my'. Ei dad - ee dad is literally the same in English, 'his dad'. As a Devonian/Cornishman I understand how this works.
The land of my fathers 🏴
It'll never beat Morris Dancing
