I am a South African born and bred. The Welsh national anthem to me is still the most beautiful piece of music. The Welsh can be proud . I salute you.
I'm Australian and I find it amazing
I'm English to the core, but this song always gives me the shivers and great pride in the Welsh. When sung at a rugby match it can't be beaten.
As a Scotsman who heard it in a half full Principality Stadium I totally agree
ditto!
christ yes
Much too fast..
10000000% diolch
Their is nothing absolutely nothing like a a Welsh male Voice choir.
My wonderful Dad was in the London Welsh Male Voice Choir, he is on that stage singing his heart out, as a true Welshman would. I am also there, proudly watching him and all the other choristers, with goosebumps. We lost our Dad last year, himself and his incredible voice is missed beyond measure.
Amanda, I'm sure your Dad now adorns the heavenly choir.
@@jackrelaxed4852 your comment gave me a great sense of comfort, I think you are completely right, thank you for that ☺️
Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg?
Sry for your loss..... he was a master piece that'll forever be heard
Yma O Hyd❤
My god, the Welsh are the best singers on this planet.
Just behind pavarotti
It’s interesting you say that. In the 1850s there was a wave of Italian immigrants to Wales. That’s when pasta was infused into the national dishes and lots of people started getting curly hair. My dad’s grandfather was from Wales and we are all curly.
@@ire1398 hi thanks for the reply I'm Welsh but Pavarotti just beats us but only just
I think it's in our soul to sing :)
The Italians rank highly
I am a PROUD BRITISH citizen from Northern Ireland but hearing that Welsh National Anthem makes my toes tingle.
Such Passion
Best National Anthem EVER in the world. My mother (bless her, in heaven now) came from Denbigh in North Wales, and this always brings tears to my eyes. Rugby World Cup tonight at 8pm, Wales v. Australia. Stand by for another listen to the best National Anthem in the world!
We come from Llandegla which is just before the entrance to the Vale of Clwyd. A most wonderful place to call home, even though we no longer live there.
As an English man I have to say best anthem in the world. It makes you want to be Welsh.
From a Scot: It does indeed. The emotion!
My late wife was Welsh speaking and very proud of it. I'm English and couldn't agree more with your sentiments. It just knocks spots off God save the Queen
yes
One of my ancestors was the best knight, William Marshall, 1st Earl of Pembroke in Wales.( 1146-1219 ).His effigy in located In Temple Church in London.
@@Babydux so he was Norman then, not Cymraig?
The language, the people, the culture, the land, there is no more noble anthem. Love from a Scot 🏴🏴
Glad you love it Keith, the way we do. I hope you've read a translation of it to feel the wonderful depth of honour and feeling of it. I grew up in Wales and lived there until 2001, this had me in tears.
From the people of Wales to the people of Scotland all celts together 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

Thanks cymru am byth
I am Australian and this is the first time I have heard the Welsh national anthem. Just beautiful!!! Blessings and love from this Aussie ❤❤
Lots of love from this Welsh South Aussie!
This has got to be the BEST national anthem ever. Love hearing it sung at the rugby matches .
now, even louder with more passion at football though.
Welshmen have written some of the most beautiful hymns and melodies.
Brilliant!! my welsh blood goes back many generations, although I was brought up in London...This anthem makes me cry, every time.....I wish I had grown up in Wales !
Me too. AFter WWII my father got work in the Kent coal mines, and I grew up there. In spite of annual trips back to Caernarvon, when I felt the happiest I ever could, I still regret not having my own national language. But I know I am Welsh to my bootstraps, nothing can take that away. It informs my sense of identity.
Beautiful I love this anthem and the Welsh too. From Dublin ❤
Beautiful, never get tired of hearing it, I am Irish.
For such a tiny nation, thos is undoubtedly one of the great anthems in the world.
It's not a nation, just an extension of England :)
@@celtic333ful Wales is not England. Get your facts right.
It has nothing to do with England, which is named after Anglo-Saxons. Wales is the land of Welsh people, who are Celtic and had been living in Great Britain before Anglo-Saxons invaded.
@@user-qi8pp1rr2q come on guy, Wales is England's bitch. Everyone knows that.
@@celtic333ful your just wishing you had a connection with our country 🏴🏴
@@jamiel068 England or Wales?
What a moving anthem. We English need a stirring anthem instead of singing about an unelected monarch. How can anyone have pride in our anthem especially if not a royalist.
Goosebumps always. Best national anthem in the world, nothing compares to this.
Jerusalem - music by Hubert Parry, words by William Blake?
the russian national anthem tops it
Absolutely not! Wales national will always be the best
Russia and Jerusalem hahaha do one.
@@leannestevens1711 i take it your welsh no bias there then haha , i would put russia , germany , wales as best anthems in that order , everybody will have a different opinion of course .
South African Anthem is the best.
My great grandparents are from Welshpool so I’m very removed from wales. But when I’m there I feel at home. When I hear a Welsh male voice choir I’m always reduced to tears.
I'm from Welshpool and my family have lived there for more than 150 years, maybe my great grandparents knew yours
My grandparents lived in Buttington and Welshpool and then migrated to Canada.
You are never very removed from Wales, if its in your heart and soul..
I’m an Englishman and proud to be. But, when I hear this rendition I salute my Welsh compatriots and wish that we had a National Anthem to match it.
Yea GSTQ seems like a funeral dirge by comparison, England needs it's own. Land of hope and glory would be good
The inhabitants of England's "green & pleasant land", so beloved of the radical engraver, painter and poet William Blake, already have an unofficial National Anthem of their own, at least as good as that sung by those who live on the western side of King Offa's Dyke.
@@kenmay1572 "Jerusalem" would be better.
@@JackGamer193 Nope the Women's Institute (WI) has grabbed that one.
It’s weird that you’re proud to be English. It isn’t an achievement.
My Mum was Welsh remember her singing this gives me goose bumps
There will aways be a special place in my heart for wales great country great singers
Love my national anthem 🏴
Living away from home. Burst into tears as soon as the first notes came out. Wales play England tomorrow. I will be here in a foreign country. Standing and singing my heart out for the team. Come on Wales.
You grow older and your Patriotism grows stronger. You have more experience and more to love
The Welsh singing is simply the best! I confess that my name is Jones...but born in England!
..I was at the Albert Hall when the Festival of Male Voice Praise sang there! It was awesome!🏴🏴
Absolutely 👌 stunning beautiful 😍💐
From a Scotsman that's the best anthem in the world love it
Disagree, The Scots have the best anthem in the world but will give the Welsh credit for singing better and for having 2nd-3rd best.
@@seanpadgett3053 sorry ours is a dirge
Have to agree with William Mitchell and I'm Scottish too.
@@seanpadgett3053 Scots, Irish, Welsh are all Celts. We love each other no matter what or who. Great Anthems everyone.
@@lindsayolh - me too. Not rousing enough.
I've no Welsh in me but what a beautiful anthem, sung so proudly by those glorious voices. Brought me to tears.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very proud to be Welsh.
It IS the most powerful piece of music ever scored. Ever. And I’m a Scot !! Amazing 🤩 🏴
I was in (at the time) the millennium stadium. It was half full for the Italy 6nations match - still made hairs on my neck stand up. I'm a Scot too
I remember going to this event so well. I was ten years old (now 71). I come from a well known Welsh family and Wales means everything to me.
Amazing Voices amazing Anthem God bless Wales 🙏
So proud of my grandfather. I am irish living in Holland. My grandfather came from holyhead. Miss him every day.
I'm from South Africa, but this is so passionate and beautiful.
My Welsh cello teacher made me learn this melody in several keys when I was only 10. He is fondly remembered on hearing this.
What an incredible sound ! The welsh National Anthem has. Glorious sound
So Beautiful!!!!!!!
Whenever (esp the 6 nations at Cardiff) I hear this, even as an Englishman the goosebumps and tears start a flowing!
As an American listening to this beautiful and patriotic song, I feel sad for my country. I miss this patriotism.
No one can sing with passion like the Welsh.
True patriotism was stolen and desecrated by a despicable few who are extremists, bigots, militants, racists. The greatest Americans - Lincoln, Grant, Susan B. Anthony, Theodore Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Truman, Martin Luther King, Kennedy, Cesar Chavez, Harvey Milk, Ruth Bader Ginsburg ... would be outraged by recent events in this nation!!!
You want to reaaaallly feel bad, while we were watching our cities burn down, this was going on in Russia - their celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the defeat of Germany in WW2. th-cam.com/video/iYsC5_7_3zo/w-d-xo.html
I can't watch this enough. Here's another one to go with, both short, th-cam.com/video/gQ32FEzJa0c/w-d-xo.html
You made your choice I guess. We in Britain have a party which hates Patriotism (the Labour Party) and one that likes it (the Conservative Party). We mostly vote for the latter, because the former hates our country and wants to destroy it.
@@MrButch-ls8vl I believe you’ll get it back . All the best from North Wales 🏴
makes me want to cry, being only half welsh but i still feel the music!!
Absolutely beautiful!!❤
This reminds me of my grandmother, who was Welsh. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Makes me proud of my heritage.
My heart is jumping wildly. My patrilineal lineage is Welsh. This brings great joy to my very being.
Welsh people singing the best anthem ever!!
It really is extraordinarily beautiful, but have you heard the U.S. National Anthem?
Sounds like Brittany anthem to me !
you can hear one of the audience members joining in at the end. and by the way, that person in the audience has a good voice. welsh people tend to be excellent singers in general since the bard tradition is quite strong. thanks for posting, hello from Sweden.
My dog Bryn would throw his head back and we would sing our hearts out together. Not forgetting Sweden has produced (among others) Birgit Nilsson and the greatest tenor Jussi Bjorling.
@@mizofan have you noticed that your dog has the same name as a well known wellsh opera singer? oh yeah, the opera and classical seen here in Sweden is so strong. we have produced ( and are still producing ) great tallent in the opera world, such as nina stemme, marlena ärnman, loa falkman, etc. we even have schools and institutions here in Sweden where you can learn how to sing opera. and even here in gothenburg, we even have our own opera house and opera company as well, so yeah, we are quite on the go over here. thanks for the comment! stay safe!
Gods own country Wales 👌
To hear all those voices together.....priceless xx
When born Welsh you stay Welsh until the end voices from heaven
like the great welsh revial 1867
I am 76 yrs old and when I hear our Anthem sung it still brings tears . And proud to be a Welsh Woman.
Doesn't matter how often I hear this anthem Gedelaethol, it still brings tears to my eyes
brings tears to the eyes
I wake up with this song in my head.every morning or Only Boys Aloud with Cal Alon in my head. I listen until I walk in at work. Now I am braver, I let you r songs play until I have to help a customer. I am addicted. Love you
I am American. Exquisit!!!!!!
It's Calon Lân. From a Welshman living in Canada 🙂🏴🇨🇦

I too am English to the core of my soul, but having 2 children, Adam and Alika born at Morriston Hospital Swansea i feel closer to wales than anywhere.
Yes im writing this from my home in Traralgon Victoria, Australia.
Only time and life can tell me why.
Magnificent...and in the fabulous Royal Albert Hall..

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!
Goosebumps !!!! Magic.
Beautiful. Just got the chills listening to them.
Amazing Love this Anthem wonderful voices and I am Scottish Really emotional
Words escape me. I’m in heaven.
Amazing...just amazing.
May has well been in the Arms park Cardiff... Massive Respect my hairs are standing up...
This makes me glad to be Welsh
Oh the very best!
Many a Welsh Rugby team and their supporters have defeated the opposition before the game started just by singing their national anthem at the start of the game especially at Cardiff Arms Park! "Land of our Fathers."
A truly stirring anthem
I'm part wełsh and this just makes me smile
Stunningly beautiful! From the land of the Springboks!
Of all the national anthems of the four countries in the British isles. The Welsh national anthem is sang in the country’s native language. Where all the others are sang in English.
Awesome
Literal Translation:
The old land of my fathers is dear to me,
Land of bards and singers, famous men of renown;
Her brave warriors, very splendid patriots,
For freedom shed their blood.
Country, Country, I am faithful to my Country.
While the sea [is] a wall to the pure, most loved land,
O may the old language [sc. Welsh] endure.
Old mountainous Wales, paradise of the bard,
Every valley, every cliff, to my look is beautiful.
Through patriotic feeling, so charming is the murmur
Of her brooks, rivers, to me.
If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot,
The old language of the Welsh is as alive as ever.
The muse is not hindered by the hideous hand of treason,
Nor [is] the melodious harp of my country.
Being a thorough Welsh speaking Herefordian this makes me so emotional.Diolch yn fair.xx
Thanks for the translation. I loved this in welsh, nice to know what the words mean.
The Welsh choirs are indeed beautiful. However if you love mass singing as I do, have a listen on TH-cam to the Indian Classic mass choirs old traditional hymns, sometimes without musical accompaniment. Very inspiring.
As welshman im so proud being welsh and im not ashamed to be welsh ❤❤❤
yes - too fast - but watch the conductor - he's trying to slow it down but the audience have got it into their heads and won't let go!!!
Superb ♥️♥️
That has to be one of the best anthems ever. I have to give Flower of Scotland first place and that is next. Goosebumps 🏴🏴
Its not an anthem though.
Molly Jones I love Scotland. Beautiful landscape, amazing history and culture. I'd visit more often if it weren't for the Scots...
Impressive number of choirs, and HUGE! Listening to and viewing this I find that either through the recording of this or something more fundamental, when such large choirs gather it sounds all 'smushed' together.
The listener (me) cannot distinguish between tenor, baritone or bass sections as one would when listening to smaller choirs. Instead, the 'being-bowled-over' effect is through the sheer volume of so many voices singing in one place.
What I am saying is that for me numbers are not as important as the quality of singing that I can hear much more clearly whilst listening to a smaller choir
I will never forget the experience of hearing a Welsh Men's Choir in a small church in Ottawa. The singers walked out on stage and most of them had no hair or white hair. Seeing them, I figuratively rolled my eyes and wondered why I had paid for a ticket. The instant that they started singing I got tears in my eyes from the sheer beauty. Wow! I had hugely underestimated them. It was a memorable performance -- wish I could remember the name of the choir. They blew me away!
The visuals here are just marvellous.
So too the mellow hypnotising guitar (first 30sec) which blends perfectly with the images presented. Then follows the stirring full-on sound of the Band of the Welsh Guards.
The stage is set...
Let's sing our hearts out for Wales!
And sing they do, with unrestrained passion.
For those who may think the song moves along a little too briskly, consider....
Is there a conductor anywhere who can hold to tempo a massed 'choir' of 5 000 men and women all bursting with unbridled emotion? And anyway, an occasion such as this might be one time when the strictest of conductors would be OK with sentiment prevailing over perfection.
If you're here on TH-cam looking for unfettered Welsh pride and love of homeland look no further.
Bravo,!!
One of the best rugby team, icon anthen, go Wales!
I’m so proud to be Welsh the land of song
Thanks
MAGNIFICENT......
Best wishes form Worcestershire, great anthem. Was a bit fast though.
The fanfare introduction at the start is fantastic! There's a strange irony with the awesome Welsh National Anthem being sung in The Royal Albert Hall.
