I thought that was sweat running down Dafydd's face then realised it was tears; tears of pride. And he had every right. There is nothing better in sport than hearing a Welsh crowd singing.
The years are from the sacrifices he has made, the struggles to preserve the Welsh language being Arrested for his his right and our right to keep our language and the English government off our land
When he wrote this song the language was dying, it was being repressed by the English, now, in his later years the language is rising again and his song is being sung, in perfect Welsh, by thousands at once. Damn I'd cry too.
He fought all his life to preserve the welsh language and he wrote this song himself to say we will always be here and the language!! That s why he sings it with such passion. The culmination of his dedication To his country and it’s language.
As a 60 yr old Englishman, and no disrespect to my generation in the crowd, but it was the 'youngsters' who knew the WHOLE song. The Welsh language lives on in you. The Welsh; the FIRST true Britons.

Dafydd Iwan has single handily written a page for himself in Welsh folklore with this epic song, how on earth can any Welsh sportsman or woman not feel utterly inspired after hearing this. When he shed a tear he must’ve thought “I can go knowing the next generation will be speaking the language of their forefathers” & his song will live on long after Dafydd Iwan is gone.
Speaking the language of your nation is such a basic part of life, it's so sad that it has to be "revived" in the first place. Globalism is truly a cancer

Oh the Welsh love a song - you would love the a day of Rugby at Cardiff! As an Englishman it’s my duty to learn the Welsh anthem as well... after all they are the fathers of these lands!
I am Greek, and I was born in the USSR. I've listened to this video 100 times. And all 100 times I can't stop the tears. It's beautiful, amazing, exciting, inspiring! If it wasn't for Deadpool, I wouldn't know anything about Wales. Prosperity and love to your people and your language ❤️
I am from Essex, an Englishman on paper only not by heart 🇮🇪 🏴. But I live in North Wales, no song has ever made me emotional like this song does every time I play it! I am so proud to live North Wales 🏴 this makes me even more dedicated to learn the beautiful Welsh language! 💚
I’m Scottish and a proud Scot at that and admit that I don’t understand a word of Gaelic but watching this video for about the 50th time it fills me up with tears,pride and joy ….the team should be out there watching that, if that doesn’t put passion in to your performance nothing will.
I am greek, brother. I know my family history from 1503 when my ancestor sailed to Constantinople. And I know where my ancestors lived for 2,500 years before that. But knowing all the Greek dances, songs and traditions, I have never felt such awe in my soul. Now I feel that even if ancient peoples like the Greeks and Jews dissolve in globalisation, Wales will remain. And it makes me feel so good to empathise with them and feel my pain with them in this song.
@@pamelastorer8570 Untrue, Celts and Celtic languages are still alive in Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Scotland, Ireland and Mann.....and ethnic Celts still live elsewhere in Europe, like Galicia and the Basque Country.
@@roberthudson3386 Perhaps you should read some history as written by the Celts of Cymru. Also some population studies. The Celts of Cymru have a unique DNA signature, not found in Cornwall, Brittany or anywhere else.

2:55 when he sings "the Welsh language will live on" (bydd y'r iaith cymraeg yn fyw) and he stops singing to be able to hear the crowd 😭. Really hits me in the owain glyndwr ❤️🏴
I am Black Country born and Black Country bred and have lived in Wales for 26 years, this song and video shows to me what Wales and Welsh people are all about
Im Irish this had tears rollin down me face, the language is beautiful the power of the people singing it is soul tingling, may our own nation see this and speak our Celtic language with honour and pride!
Did a DNA Heritage test for Christmas. Always knew my mothers people came over from Ireland. Turns out I am 52% Welsh (Glamorgan Valley} and 48% Irish (Waterford) best of both Celtic cultures. Well chuffed.
I'm Welsh, and I'll try and explain why this is so special and why Dafydd Iwan is crying. If you watch the Copa90 video- The Welsh Football Revolution, it explains more about the rise in national pride and football and the Welsh language, and why it's so surprising. Two things caused the decline in the Welsh language- mass migration from England during the industrial revolution and a efforts by the government to stamp it out- which led to a like 'internalised hatred' from Welsh people towards their own language. And also laws that banned if from being spoken in workplace, court etc. The language loss caused a split in Wales and Welsh was only really spoken in the North West and West coast. And it became synonymous with nationalism- which was really hated in Wales. The south was more unionist. Dafydd Iwan is a Welsh nationalist folk singer, probably the most 'uncool' thing you could be in Wales. In football, like the Copa90 video shows, the Welsh language was really looked down on in Cardiff and the south. Many people in the south hated North Wales Welsh speakers as much as the English. When I was young, there was no pride in the language at all and was seen as backwards and embarrassing. People would have mocked you for liking Dafydd Iwan. So to see football fans from across Wales (10-20 years ago would have had nothing in common, and maybe would have hated and fighting each other) sing a Welsh nationalist folk song, is nothing short of a miracle. And it's prompted Welsh people to want to learn Welsh so they can sing along in Welsh. There is still a sort of trauma in Wales, particularly in the older generation from the Welsh language loss, and an internalised shame over speaking it. So to see the younger generation embrace their language is beautiful! I And 'rugby Welshness' is still very unionist, with the Royals and all that. The nationalism that has spawned from football is new, organic and forward thinking. The football team has been pushing for it to be called 'Cymru' rather than 'Wales'. And it's helped the movement in Wales to 'un-Anglicise' ourselves. I.e changing place names back to the original Welsh names. Un-Anglcise our surnames (the reason why so many Jones, Williams, Davies in Wales is because England changed our surnames from the original Welsh names Dafydd= Davies etc) This is why he's crying. It's a mix of disbelief, and also pride to see Wales finally embrace the language, without any negative connotations or embarrassment. And it's united the north and south. Hope that makes sense.
@@paperflowers-ks6vv Thank you. That is a great explanation. As an Irishwoman who loves our own native language, Gaeilge, I also love healthy, life affirming Welsh and Scottish nationalism. According to most modern science, our ancestral DNA, culture and language ARE embedded in our bodies. Of course, I also love football and have watched this spine tingling rendition by Dafydd and the Welsh football fans, DOZENS of times. Slainte.
@@christinequinn5355 Oh thanks! I know it's a bit of an essay, but I wanted to provide some context for the crying. I think a lot of us in Wales have been very surprised by the effect the Cymru football team has had on the Welsh psyche! It's probably a sense of vindication too- he went to jail for his Welsh language protests. People like him were seen as 'crackpots' in the past. Now nationalism is taken a lot more seriously by the younger generation. To see younger people embrace the song (he's in his 80s!) and sing in Welsh- many of them can't speak Welsh and singing phonetically, is probably something he never thought he would see.
2:55 - is for me the most moving part. This song states how the Welsh people will "be here till Judgment Day", and that particular verse talks how the "the Welsh language will be alive". It's very moving to see Dafydd Iwan stopping singing to hear the entire stadium singing in Welsh, confirming the lyrics.
This is a beautiful song, speaking from an Irish man here. We must look after all our Celtic traditions and music and promote and save our ancient Celtic languages 🇮🇪 🏴🏴

I was born in Cardiff in 1944, my mother was Rosie Lloyd who worked in the Westgate Pub in Tiger Bay. My dad was a Canadian soldier and we lived in Grangetown until 1952 when we emigrated to Canada. My dad took me to Cardiff City games, and I remember the day when Cardiff was promoted to division one in 1952. I have supported Cardiff City and Wales for 70 years. The video today was so emotional, and I am so proud of my Welsh heritage.
What a life, thank you for sharing, and I really hope you are enjoying this moment. I was forced to leave my home country (Bosnia) but fortunately had the great pleasure of watching my home country reach the World Cup in Brasil 2014 and it was a near out of body experience, one which I will never forget. I am, and always will be proud of my Bosnian heritage, and I love hearing when others feel the same kind of pride for their heritage.
My grampy was a docks policeman in world war 2, lived in Kent street at the time I believe. Ivor James (Jimmy) Nurse. Bandmaster at the Sally Army for 35 years. My dad was born in 1946 next to the bakery opposite the stadium.
I was born in Cardiff in 1966 and emigrated to Australia in 1975.... I too am proud to be Welsh, support Wales in the rugby and Cardiff City..... (but I love my Aussie Rules footy too).
David, I wanted to let you know that this is one of my favourite comments. I must drive through Grangetown, Bute Town and the bay every day of the week. I think the pub was demolished in the 60s, as I've never seen it, but I did get to enjoy Ninian Park many times before we moved across Sloper Road. The city has changed so much in the past 20 years or so.

@@algiz21 yes it is, and unfortunately it was other lowland Scots who caused it primarily, my father was beaten by his school teacher for speaking it in the playground to his pals, it was literally frightened out of the kids, thankfully all school kids in the islands now have to explicitly opt out of gaelic education rather than having to opt in, only about 80 to 90 thousand native speakers left
I'm English born support England.. dad's Welsh. In my 35yrs on this earth I've never met another nation so proud to be who they are and I don't think I ever will. And the voices of the Welsh when they sing is something else. Gives me goosebumps.. must be my dad's blood in me.
It's not just blood. It's the pride and defiance of a people, - your people and your ancestors who pledge loyalty to the culture, history, language, memory that they've created.
I've been listening to this song at lesat twice a day for over a year now. I know the song is about the Welsh Language and that they kept the language even though Brittan tried to get rid of it. HOWEVER, as a person who has drug-resistant depression (No Medications have worked for me), this song is INCREDIBLE. With Depression, sometimes when you wake up in the morning all you can say is "I'm Still Alive...". This song almost "Gives you permission" to feel that way. To be proud of the fact we made it another day, and we're still here. And the part about being surrounded by Darkness but ready to see the dawn". I cannot express what this song has meant to me. I CAN say that he's just released his autobiography in English and it is INCREDIBLE. His live could EASILY be made into a movie (Including someone trying to get him tied up in a plan to "Unalive" the Prince many years ago. I won't say what happened, but what an INCREDIBLE man, story, and song! I don't know what to say other than this song has literally kept me going!
Croatian here, love your language, your tradition, keep that celtic spirit alive. Lots of people here recently made very positive comments about welsh fans, their behaviour and pride, something to look up to. Cymru fo am byth
Dafydd Iwan had the look of a man that knew he'd just set a fire in the people's consciousness that will burn long after he has gone. A folk song gone mainstream. Mae pawb yn siarad Cymraeg rwan.
I’m English and I heard this for the first time after Wales qualified for the WC. One of the greatest things Ive heard at a football game. Makes the hairs on your arms stand on end. This video is amazing and shows the passion of the Welsh fans. The World Cup will be all the better for having the Welsh fans at it. Congratulations after a long long wait. Yma O Hyd
It's to Wales what "Jerusalem" is to England - the alternative National Anthem. The chorus, translated: "We're still here, in spite of everyone and everything, we're still here."
Scandinavian here. I must say this gave me bumps all over. I really like the celtic culture, traditions and songs. Keep up the fight for welsh culture ❤
Just in case you were curious what he’s singing about. the chorus roughly translates to “regardless of anyone and everything, we’re here to stay” it’s when the English tried to stop the welsh language from being spoken.. “regardless of anyone and everything, we’re here to stay”
American by birth, Welsh by the grace of God. My people left Swansea 170 yrs ago .I have always a place in my heart for Wales. So glad to see the language & the culture are coming back. Great video!
I’m sure someone will happily welcome you with a bucket hat of your own. If they don’t let me know and you can borrow my spare 😁👍 Croeso i Cymru 🏴
I second that motion as a Scot. I'd want to march in battle with my Welsh and Irish brothers, all bellowing out our beloved songs and hymns. I'd march to the gates of hell with this behind me.
I'm polish and when I heard this song before the game Wales - Poland i almost cried not even knowing what's the song is about. Now I have this on repeat.
I have some lovely Polish friends and my son and his friend who is also Polish had some fun before the game. Well done on qualifying and we all hope Poland do well in our house for our friends!
This is class. In fairness the Welsh are class. I'm travelling to watch 🇮🇪 for over 10 years now and outside of our own football moments, My greatest experience was witnessing the spine tingling Welsh National anthem before our game in Cardiff in 2017. I know we won the game that night but the Welsh anthem was incredible to behold. The utmost respect for the Welsh fans and I look forward to our next hop over to Cardiff whenever that may be 🇮🇪🇮🇪💚❤

I’m Scottish and that is one the most powerful, rousing songs I’ve ever heard !!! Made for a stadium, should be the Welsh National anthem in my opinion !!! ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼
The emotion in that guys face says it all and its not hard to see why, seeing the father and son in the crowd especially did it for me and the older lady at the end. As a history buff these words cut really deep. The Welsh are truly Dragonborn
I first experienced this last year in November after the Wales-Belgium game. I am from India and when I first heard this song and the significance about it, was vastly impressed. Goosebumps all over, even looked up the lyrics to be ready for the next time I get to experience this. Being so far away from Home yet I felt so positive, powerful and at Home when I heard this song play and people sing along!
Thanks to, Welcome to Wrexham 😅 for introducing me to this powerful and emotional masterpiece!❤ Respect from Albania. I have to visit Wales now,so i can experience this at a sport venue,in real life ❤
That dude on his phone just reading texts or that needs a good look at his life. I am Scottish and this is the most inspiring and uplifting thing I have seen in years. 🏴 🏴 FREEEEEEEEDOM will be sweet my friends.
That is a guy who misses out on life whilst looking a tiktok videos. An embarrassment on the day, how could you not want to experience something like this occasion live?
actually if im not mistaken that guy on his phone organises a lot of the away trips for welsh supporters even in the dark days when only maybe a hundred would travel, so maybe he was texting family and friends what was happening at that moment.
I have been to so many Wales games and they have had magnificent atmospheres, but last night game was something I will never forget. I'm still an emotional mess and it will take a few days to get over it.
Most definitely same as myself I told my mates that the best night I've been there was just a different vibe atmosphere was electric for me that surpassed the Belgium games
Seeing those young fans belting this out with the older fans fills my heart with joy. This man and this song will do more for our identity and language now its been adopted by the football national team than anything else. I rarely write a comment on here but this moves me to the core of my soul. Ardderchog Dafydd. YMA O HYD.

Now I feel that even if ancient peoples like the Greeks and Jews dissolve in globalisation, Wales will remain. And it makes me feel so good to empathise with them and feel my pain with them in this song.
@@pamelastorer8570 Untrue, Celts and Celtic languages are still alive in Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Scotland, Ireland and Mann.....and ethnic Celts still live elsewhere in Europe, like Galicia and the Basque Country.
@@roberthudson3386 Perhaps you should read some history as written by the Celts of Cymru. Also some population studies. The Celts of Cymru have a unique DNA signature, not found in Cornwall, Brittany or anywhere else. And certainly not in Europe. there is one aberrant signature on the Y chromosome found only among the Adygea people of Circassia and the Celts of Wales. thats it. You're just parroting pop fake history. Go read the real stuff.

I am Black Country born and Black Country bred and have lived in Wales for 26 years, this song and video shows to me what Wales and Welsh people are all about
Im Irish this had tears rollin down me face, the language is beautiful the power of the people singing it is soul tingling, may our own nation see this and speak our Celtic language with honour and pride!
Did a DNA Heritage test for Christmas. Always knew my mothers people came over from Ireland. Turns out I am 52% Welsh (Glamorgan Valley} and 48% Irish (Waterford) best of both Celtic cultures. Well chuffed.
I'm Welsh, and I'll try and explain why this is so special and why Dafydd Iwan is crying. If you watch the Copa90 video- The Welsh Football Revolution, it explains more about the rise in national pride and football and the Welsh language, and why it's so surprising.
Two things caused the decline in the Welsh language- mass migration from England during the industrial revolution and a efforts by the government to stamp it out- which led to a like 'internalised hatred' from Welsh people towards their own language. And also laws that banned if from being spoken in workplace, court etc.
The language loss caused a split in Wales and Welsh was only really spoken in the North West and West coast. And it became synonymous with nationalism- which was really hated in Wales. The south was more unionist.
Dafydd Iwan is a Welsh nationalist folk singer, probably the most 'uncool' thing you could be in Wales.
In football, like the Copa90 video shows, the Welsh language was really looked down on in Cardiff and the south. Many people in the south hated North Wales Welsh speakers as much as the English.
When I was young, there was no pride in the language at all and was seen as backwards and embarrassing. People would have mocked you for liking Dafydd Iwan.
So to see football fans from across Wales (10-20 years ago would have had nothing in common, and maybe would have hated and fighting each other) sing a Welsh nationalist folk song, is nothing short of a miracle. And it's prompted Welsh people to want to learn Welsh so they can sing along in Welsh.
There is still a sort of trauma in Wales, particularly in the older generation from the Welsh language loss, and an internalised shame over speaking it. So to see the younger generation embrace their language is beautiful! I
And 'rugby Welshness' is still very unionist, with the Royals and all that. The nationalism that has spawned from football is new, organic and forward thinking. The football team has been pushing for it to be called 'Cymru' rather than 'Wales'. And it's helped the movement in Wales to 'un-Anglicise' ourselves. I.e changing place names back to the original Welsh names. Un-Anglcise our surnames (the reason why so many Jones, Williams, Davies in Wales is because England changed our surnames from the original Welsh names Dafydd= Davies etc)
This is why he's crying. It's a mix of disbelief, and also pride to see Wales finally embrace the language, without any negative connotations or embarrassment. And it's united the north and south.
Hope that makes sense.
@@paperflowers-ks6vv Thank you. That is a great explanation. As an Irishwoman who loves our own native language, Gaeilge, I also love healthy, life affirming Welsh and Scottish nationalism.
According to most modern science, our ancestral DNA, culture and language ARE embedded in our bodies.
Of course, I also love football and have watched this spine tingling rendition by Dafydd and the Welsh football fans, DOZENS of times.
Slainte.
@@christinequinn5355 Oh thanks! I know it's a bit of an essay, but I wanted to provide some context for the crying. I think a lot of us in Wales have been very surprised by the effect the Cymru football team has had on the Welsh psyche!
It's probably a sense of vindication too- he went to jail for his Welsh language protests. People like him were seen as 'crackpots' in the past. Now nationalism is taken a lot more seriously by the younger generation.
To see younger people embrace the song (he's in his 80s!) and sing in Welsh- many of them can't speak Welsh and singing phonetically, is probably something he never thought he would see.
If this doesn't give you goosebumps you are already dead 🇮🇪🏴

@@denisgriffiths3895 You can buy them online. Preferably under Welsh Gift shops to help support them.🏴❤️😊
Or just not a sheep shagger
Only sleeping. He'll wake, and sing!
So many young people singing along in Welsh is beautiful.
2:55 - is for me the most moving part.
This song states how the Welsh people will "be here till Judgment Day", and that particular verse talks how the "the Welsh language will be alive".
It's very moving to see Dafydd Iwan stopping singing to hear the entire stadium singing in Welsh, confirming the lyrics.
Se Deus quiser, ha de brilhar....

I was born in Cardiff in 1944, my mother was Rosie Lloyd who worked in the Westgate Pub in Tiger Bay. My dad was a Canadian soldier and we lived in Grangetown until 1952 when we emigrated to Canada. My dad took me to Cardiff City games, and I remember the day when Cardiff was promoted to division one in 1952. I have supported Cardiff City and Wales for 70 years. The video today was so emotional, and I am so proud of my Welsh heritage.
What a life, thank you for sharing, and I really hope you are enjoying this moment. I was forced to leave my home country (Bosnia) but fortunately had the great pleasure of watching my home country reach the World Cup in Brasil 2014 and it was a near out of body experience, one which I will never forget. I am, and always will be proud of my Bosnian heritage, and I love hearing when others feel the same kind of pride for their heritage.
My grampy was a docks policeman in world war 2, lived in Kent street at the time I believe. Ivor James (Jimmy) Nurse. Bandmaster at the Sally Army for 35 years. My dad was born in 1946 next to the bakery opposite the stadium.
I was born in Cardiff in 1966 and emigrated to Australia in 1975.... I too am proud to be Welsh, support Wales in the rugby and Cardiff City..... (but I love my Aussie Rules footy too).
I'm of Somali origin.
I was born in Tiger Bay and grew up in Grangetown 🤣
David, I wanted to let you know that this is one of my favourite comments. I must drive through Grangetown, Bute Town and the bay every day of the week. I think the pub was demolished in the 60s, as I've never seen it, but I did get to enjoy Ninian Park many times before we moved across Sloper Road. The city has changed so much in the past 20 years or so.

I've been listening to this song at lesat twice a day for over a year now. I know the song is about the Welsh Language and that they kept the language even though Brittan tried to get rid of it. HOWEVER, as a person who has drug-resistant depression (No Medications have worked for me), this song is INCREDIBLE. With Depression, sometimes when you wake up in the morning all you can say is "I'm Still Alive...". This song almost "Gives you permission" to feel that way. To be proud of the fact we made it another day, and we're still here. And the part about being surrounded by Darkness but ready to see the dawn".
I cannot express what this song has meant to me. I CAN say that he's just released his autobiography in English and it is INCREDIBLE. His live could EASILY be made into a movie (Including someone trying to get him tied up in a plan to "Unalive" the Prince many years ago. I won't say what happened, but what an INCREDIBLE man, story, and song!
I don't know what to say other than this song has literally kept me going!
