    "We're still here, in spite of everyone and everything, we’re still here.” When you’re Welsh those words have deep meaning.

      Another beautiful thing about this song is that it’s written almost as a bardic tale. I highly recommend reading a translation as it talks of the where our individual culture comes from and the tests we’ve had to endure to hold onto that identity.

    Thank you for this reaction - great to see the message of Yma o Hyd out there. Dafydd Iwan went to jail protesting on behalf of Welsh language rights. Now in 2022 there are 35,000 Welsh people singing his song back to him - what a triumph!

    • @paperflowers-ks6vv
      @paperflowers-ks6vv หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've read a lot of the comments under the Yma o Hyd (before the Austria game) videos, and people notice he is crying. And assume it's because he's patriotic. Which is a bit true. But people outside of Wales don't understand the journey Wales has gone on with our language.
      Like you've said, it's triumph and also vindication, that his hard work paid off. As you'd know, nationalism wasn't taken seriously at all in the past, and people like Dafydd Iwan were kind of seen as 'crackpots'. (at least in my era). The language was seen as uncool, backwards.
      So to see a stadium of young and old, belting out what is a Welsh nationalist folk song, in Welsh (not all would have been Welsh speakers either) is nothing short of miraculous.
      It's Wales shedding the shame of the language and showing that on a national stage. That's why he's crying, IMO.
      It's amazing the difference the Cymru team have had on the national psyche!

    This anthem means so much, due to the fact that the generation of my parents were punished for speaking Welsh in schools. The English government tried to eradicate the Welsh language off the face of the land. And Dafydd Iwan (the writter and the singer in the clip) was jailed by the English government for protesting in the 1960s that the Welsh language STILL hadn't been officially recognised by the government. That's why Dafydd was so emotional. And believe me, EVERY WELSH person knows ALL of the words to this hymn to our nation's survival.

The majority of fans can’t even speak the language but learn the words for the songs! We are a small nation but with the crowd and the players working they’re socks off we are punching way above our weight!

    Oh bless you, you had a go at pronouncing Welsh! The man's name is Dafydd (pronounced Daff-ith) Iwan (Ee-wan) and the song is Yma (Umma) o (Oh) Hyd (Heed). The name of the country in our own language is Cymru (Gum-ree) - the English never bothered trying to pronounce our place names, in some cases inventing their own, for example Abertawe they renamed Swansea because it is an estuary and there are swans on the sea!

    • @BarnaclePD

      The name Swansea is actually Danish, the Vikings built a fort on an island in the mouth of the river, led by a warrior named Sven so it was called "Sveinn's Eye", which is Sven's Island in old Danish, that over time got Anglecised ito Swansea, Nothing to do with Swans whatsoever! =)

"The welsh language will live on". all this time, all this fighting, all this pain and suffering was worth it to hear those words sung back by a proud, adoring crowd. you can tell from everything he does, from his face, to his voice, to his movements, how much this all means to him.
