I‘m Austrian and didn‘t expect anything like this when entering the away sector, but I’ve had goosebumps during the whole song/game and watched this video over and over the last hours … massive respect to Wales and its people - er gwaetha our loss it was an awesome trip to Cardiff! Good luck for the next game, you’re still here!
Class response 👌
Classy
Diolch Max 😍
Cariad fawr o Gymru - Much love from Wales! xx
Best of luck in future
I'm English and this makes me feel more emotional than any song we have about Empire/Monarchy. Long live the Welsh people and the Welsh language.
You do know the Welsh and the Scots for that matter, played their part in building the British Empire?
@@tonyska But the English anthem is just about the monarchy, whereas Yma o Hyd is about Wales rather than a single person
@@surge8601Fair point and I'm not here to pour scourn on this song. I'm only here because I love it.
@@tonyska yeah, same. I wish they'd sing it more at Welsh rugby matches....
The man has sung this song a million times over decades.. he still felt the passion of the night and had tears streaming down the cheeks.. legend
Regrettably I don’t speak Welsh fluently, but the end of the third verse, “we’ll be here until the end of time, and the Welsh language will be alive” is so powerful. On a night like that it only adds to the passion
As well as his passion, there was the fact that he had 30,000 Welsh fans singing his song with him - From North and South, Rich and Poor, Young and Old - all singing in Welsh despite the concerted efforts to kill our language. So of course he cried. Wonderful to see and hear and I hope FAW get him to sing before every match in future :-)
@@batboynl2010 Just a pity that it's all so fake. The vast majority of people in Wales have zero interest whatsoever in speaking/learning Welsh.
Gqerch. Hud Cymru am byth
Spot on
Lots of love to my welsh brothers from an irishman 🇮🇪🏴
Thank you my fenian brother
Yes mate
Diolch yn fawr iawn fy ffrind o iwerddon dros y mor/ Thankyou very much my friend from Ireland over the sea. Ii visited Dublin 10 years ago and loved it so much. Had such an amazing welcome . Us celts!!!!
Cymru am byth/wales forever!!
Diolch cariad.
I’m English and this gives me goosebumps ❤️ The history of our tiny island is amazing, we should all learn more - Long live the Welsh language
Chwarae Teg! Glad to see not every English person is anti Wales. God Bless!
@@taffyducks544 I’m sure they aren’t!obviously I support England in football but love the Welsh passion for their team! Honestly being from Devon it doesn’t make a difference to me if your from Swansea or Sheffield it’s the same. I think the UK as a whole should be proud of the regional/ national differences whilst embracing our similarities.
@@samswann5420 That is how it should be, but the problem is that England has never been proud or respectful of the regional languages of the UK for hundreds of years. It's only in recent years that this started to change. But hate towards Welsh people and viewing Welsh as a farmers language with no worth is still common as I have personally experienced way too many times. Don't forget. Welsh was forbidden by English law (because Wales was officially part of England for hundreds of years). Welsh people weren't allowed to speak Welsh in public life or in government jobs. The English government and even the UK government up to the 1950's forbid schools to teach in Welsh. All schools were in English and kids who spoke Welsh with eachother got their fingers spanked by the teachers with wooden sticks and had to wear a silly hat with the goal to break the moral of the kid and force him or her to prefer to speak English instead of Welsh. There is a reason why Welsh is only spoken by 27% of the Welsh population. 200 years ago it was still 70%. The government discriminated Welsh speakers to the point that they felt ashamed by the language and decided to raise their children in English as a way to make sure their children avoid the discrimination they had to go through. And honestly, Welsh only got full equality with English 10 years ago.
@@boilingwateronthestove the average English person isn’t aware of this and would find it it hard to believe. I’m 34 and was only ever taught about WW2, the Romans and the tudors at school so it’s hard to grasp the bigger picture surrounding Welsh identity/ pride. Unfortunately we are not taught about the wrong parts of our history. Devon had a language similar to Welsh that was lost centuries ago - Cornwall has kept theirs. The England you speak of (London / South East) have looked down upon the north of England and the south west too - obviously not to the extent of the horrible acts you speak of or similar to what happened in the highlands.
@@boilingwateronthestove I think we need to get away from thinking that anything like a majority of English people are anti-Wales. There's always a very vocal minority, but I doubt most English people think negatively about the Welsh. Just like we don't (or shouldn't) blame the Russian people for Putin invading Ukraine, we shouldn't blame the English people for the actions of their government. (EDIT: that was in response to both your comment and Taffy Ducks' comment, btw...)
Food for thought: Dafydd Iwans wrote this song long before many of the people in the stadium were born. That night, he watched thousands of voices in unison singing his song... I'd be crying too [I am now thinking about it - and just how much of a national treasure Dafydd Iwans is to Cymru].
I've never heard of him
@@vinceramone6080 He wrote this song, he is famous in the Welsh speaking parts of Wales especially amongst the older generations.
@@Jake-pm3pz Ah I see, I'm from the English part of Wales, Cardiff, so i wouldn't know...Cheers butt.
@@vinceramone6080 English speaking! You mean. Context really does matter.
@@taffyducks544 In the context that people in Swansea (Not all) look to Cardiff as being England.
There's a reason why people outside of Cymru get the hairs on their neck stand up when they see/hear this. Our collective fight against the genocide on cymraeg, cymry & cymru culture. The resilience of the celtic nations, amongst other nations who refuse to give their culture up for a coloniser.
YMA O HYD, CYMRU AM BYTH❤🏴
They survived a crazy gauntlet of some of the most feared empires and invaders in history. Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans. Most nations would have crumbled.
Agus táimid anseo fós!!
Tá ár lá ag teacht, is béidh sé againn go tapaidh!
Ai fought the colonizer but handed everything over to the new world order
I'm English, and in total awe how many people , but esp young ones were singing this , with a passion only the Welsh have!

Respect from Poland, we, the West Slavs have been enslaved just as Celts did, we got our freedom, i hope you'll get it too...
Good luck on Tuesday 🤝🤝
@@creeperboy043 honestly, you deserved to win, gg
I'm a Kiwi and came here because I wanted to again hear the song of celebration I just heard after Wales beat Ukraine to make it to the World Cup!
This is stirring and beautiful.
Love the Welsh! Get in, boys!
As an English man I envy this, I feel no attachment to any of our anthems or any sort of togetherness like this. I have massive respect for Wales and hope they make it to the World Cup because it is obvious they have the best fans on the international stage. Also I shed a tear to this because something about a crowd singing along like this always gets me.
That's on you. I'm a second generation migrant to England and feel immense pride in being English, and feel that pride at sporting and other events.
@@jamesmason8436 absolutely agree. Firstly they have the best tunes, second they have the passion. I suspect that there are places in England that have their own local passion, Cornwall, the north east, but when it's all of England there are a mob who spoil it and embarrass the whole country. From a singing perspective, it goes back centuries to the church stopping singing unless it was a hymn in a church. Thankfully that is changing, but slowly, although the recent legislation about licensing music in pubs is a spoiler.
WALES EMPIRE RULES THE ISLES AND WORLD!
The problem is Englishness beleive it or not has been suppressed to the point where the average English person is only seen as being British. We have no songs celebrating being English or showing Anglo Saxon culture etc it's a disgrace.
@@smithgc1 a very small mob, I'd posit, and these mobs exist within Scottish and Welsh football elements without similar levels of scrutiny and attention.
Cymru am byth! Iaith cymraeg mae'n hyfryd! Cyrfairchion ffrindiau o Mhatagonia Ariannin! 🏴🇦🇷
i'm Russian and at this moment most of all i wish i could relate to a nation that is proud of its homeland and can celebrate it happily in song. and Cymgaeg is amazingly beautiful!
What a lovely comment.
Diolch for this. Keep telling your own truth loud and clear in your country, and hopefully you will have a leader to be proud of again one day.
Stand by your leader and your country. Be patriotic and stand by denazification. Your Serbian brothers support you. Glory to Russia! Glory to Donbass! Crimea is Russia!

This has done more for Welsh language than anything.
They are a proud Nation and now everybody knows it.
@MsMissy The fall happened in 1485, Best and worst year in Welsh history.
@MsMissy The last Cymric Invasion of England was by Owain Glyndwr in 1407 which led to a stand off and nothing more against The English army in Worcestershire.
Before The 1536 Act of Union Western Herefordshire and Shropshire was Welsh territory of course Henry VIII had other ideas.
Msmissy you don't have to be here, that song was just pure class. And the delivery was special
@MsMissy you have missed many history lessons right?
@MsMissy then you now that those who "founded" England were foreign invaders (saxons, jutes and angels first and normans after).
Greetings from the cousins of Brittany ! We are still here too !!!
When he shed tears when the audience sang “iaith gymraeg yn fyw” is iconic
Dafydd Iwan has sung this song thousands of time, and on this night he had almost 30,000 sing it back to him - Da Iawn pawb xx
This is a song like the national anthem that opens a door in every Welsh soul and out comes a fire , a fire that can never be extinguished . We are here , we will always be here
The dragon is our emblem , our language is our heart , the singing is in our soul.🏴CYMRU AM BYTH 🏴
Why I’m I Nigerian and still getting goosebumps? After listening to this song from the match I just had to come here😍🥰
I'm from Malaysia 🇲🇾 and am falling in love with this song. Great atmosphere there at the stadium. 😭
As a Mexican, you guys are something else! The amount of passion and love for your country is incredible. Goodluck in Qatar!!!
Absolutely outstanding, in bits listening to this, well done the welsh from a proud glaswegian...🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

If we play on 5th June, will be a shame that one of us has to go out
Sorry you lost to Ukrainian Gordon. Hope wales can redeem you!!
One of our own thanks mate
Don't worry we got the english boxed.
@@rhysgwynne5226 amazing win for you, we'll be cheering you on in the world cup, from Scotland. Next time, both our countries there!!
I am English and this was incredible to me. I wish I was there. To me the Welsh are my brothers as are the Scottish and Irish. I respect and love your language, traditions and culture and would fight with you to defend your right to protect it.
So would I, I’m English too with Celtic blood in me as my dad is Irish & my maternal grandparents were Welsh, a countries language, traditions & culture are sacred & should be respected & protected.
@@nw101971 Hello Simon, I'm 71 and Welsh and I'm always so deeply upset and angry that the English powers that be ,denied us the right to be taught Welsh in their, rule the language , rule the people ideology of their Welsh education act of the 1870s. So very, very, upset. It ran until devolution. Thanks for your kind remarks. Diolch.
All those countries despise england😂😂
It's such a shame Tant ,because of the delay playing our qualifying games because of the Russians, there was only a tiny amount of tickets left for the Wales v England game for Welsh supporters.
I am learning Welsh. Dad Polish, grandad on mum's side Welsh. From the heart to the heart.
Greetings and admiration from Greece...🇬🇷🏴 We are still here...
as a northern englishman i feel a closer connection with cymru than i do the south tbh, we share more in common with eachother i feel
We do, as a Welsh born Man of English, Welsh, Irish and Maltese descent. Many places in Northern England get their origin from the same people Wales do. Kingdoms of Rheged, Elmet etc. Now located throughout North Western England. Some also believe Northumberland may have originated with those same people, North Umbria literally coming from Cumbria Newydd (New Cumbria) mis-translated to Northumbria
The land with umbers in them fought with Glyndwr against the English. It was a tactical error by the Umbers to attack the English before joining forces with Glyndwr that had a huge effect on the outcome as the Umbers had 5 man to an Englishman In the battle. Overconfident can be anyone's downfall. Look at Budica (Buddig was her real name) 80,000 Britons against I think 10,000 Romans and still lost the battle.
Absolutely no one sings like the Welsh, what a wonderful powerful song sung by a marvellous voice & from the man who wrote it. In a thousand years I doubt we Scots could write & deliver songs such as this & Land of my fathers. Truly a privilege to listen to. Come on Wales. 🏴❤️💙🏴
WE ARE STILL HERE! ❤️🏴
This shows that our language will always be here and the Welsh heritage will never be wiped out.
I'm Serbian, and through our history we fight a lot, not always winning, sometimes loosing in peace more than in war, we've been under occupation of Otoman Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, NATO and others... We have that thing called "inat", which lead us through hardest times, we understand and relate at least in choir... "I dalje smo tu, uprkos svima i svemu, i dalje smo tu" in our native language
When we qualify this has to be released as our world cup song/anthem.
GARETH JONES, you,v got it right on the mark my friend , I can see 30,000 TAFFS all in red belting,YMA O HYD , on the biggest stage of all, EPIC. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND. 😎😎😎✌️✌️✌️🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Number 1 in Apple downloads, it's happened!
Dafydd's reaction to the crowd singing "A bydd yr iaith Gymraeg yn fyw!" made me burst into tears.
That line used to fill me with hope, but now that Cymraeg is the fastest growing language throughout the UK, let alone Wales, it just fills me with a joy that I could never have imagined feeling in my wildest imagination.
The line translated into English means "And the Welsh language [at the end of time] is still alive"
Does "bydd" not make it more like "And the Welsh language will live on"?
@@danwilliams7423 You're entirely correct, I just amalgamated 2 lines into one to convey the meaning of both.
"Byddwn yma hyd ddiwedd amser"
"We'll be here until the end of time"
"A bydd yr iaith Gymraeg yn fyw!"
"And the Welsh language will live on"
So I added the brackets and adjusted the line to give context that the previous line implies the language will live on until the end of time.
Your translation is spot on though.
As TOLKIEN wrote, WELSH IS OF THIS SOIL, THIS ISLAND, THE SENIOR LANGUAGE OF THE MEN OF BRITAIN AND WELSH IS BEAUTIFUL. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY BROTHER,S 😎😎😎✌️✌️✌️🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
My grandmother used to love to tell me of the time she met him whilst on holiday in Aberystwyth. She used to say he spoke beautiful Welsh and that he actually asked to talk in Welsh when she introduced herself in English.
@@leonbrooks2107 thank you for that, what lovely memories you grandmother must have
I used to dream about this, 40 yrs ago , the language, the football, when I was a kid. And now it's reality x
Studied in Wales for 6 years, English born and have deepest respect and love for the Welsh nation and it's people - and this why! Just amazing national spirit. As they say in Cymru 'Nuff said butt'
To be born in Wales, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but, with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul, is a privilege indeed.
Cymru Am Byth 🏴❤️
so I'm Welsh. and from a young age we always sang in school. heck I still know a lot of the songs
Cymru am byth!!! ❤🏴
Born in the United States of Disnunion de Georgia, CYRMY AM BYTH! YAM O HYTH! No matter which Redwall or Footie game? EVEN IN FRANCE (unless it's FA National Nationals, c'mon): Yam o hyd! One year we'll ALL BE THE RED WALL!
(and anyone who dares suggest I play a different version: until Chelsea is a NO NAME NOBODY TEAM!)
I'm so proud to be Welsh 🔥❤️
This song is my favourite song. I am English and born in Cheshire. I always been bullied when I was younger by everyone and I feel like I never belong here. I am Half English, Quarter Welsh and Quarter Irish. I decided to abandon my English side and move towards my welsh side. I have two very close Welsh friends who knows I hate england and want to be Welsh but they will always call me english and never consider me welsh because I was born in England. I have another Welsh friend who is very quickly becoming my best friend he is the only one showing me support. He told me "shrugs does it matter what other people consider you as? At the end of the day you're making more effort to learn about Welsh culture/history/language than most Welsh people. Just consider yourself Welsh and let other people consider you British". This Song make all my hairs stick up all over my body, This Song make me tear up, and This Song makes me feel pride. This song is the soul inspiration why I want to become Welsh and will not stop until I am Welsh. I am a 26 year old autistic man and I apologise if I sound childish. I just wish to become Welsh and wish people understand. I wish I had support.
Thank you for reading
cymru am byth!
Nos da!
Well, you're genetically as Welsh as anyone if you have Welsh ancestry. And it isn't upto anyone else but yourself to decide if you want to embrace any one side of that said ancestry. I myself have English, Welsh, Irish, and Maltese Ancestry. I feel more Welsh than anything else, but if I wanted to decide to embrace my English side. No one can say I can't as I have both Welsh and English blood running through my veins. Heddwch!
@@taffyducks544 I agree. My Welsh link is from my great grandmother. Thats three generations away. I think thats why my two welsh friends are struggleing to see me as welsh. I Always said I have the Blood of the Red and White Dragon flowing through me. Oh I also have a Welsh ancestor name Thomas Charles of Bala.
Anyways Thank you for your comment.
I am Welsh and have 2 grandaughters born and living in England but they both think of themselves as totally Welsh despite having an English father. If it's in your blood it's always there.
Joshua you belong in this world. If you feel more drawn in Wales, then that's it. You're Welsh and everyone else can sod off. There are bullies in all parts of the world, and I'm sorry you encountered them. Forget everyone else - enjoy the music, the culture, the language, and hold tight to that good Welsh friend. xo
Joshua, I was born in England and both of my parents are Welsh. I've always considered myself Welsh - and that can't be denied when England v Wales in any sport! You are who you feel.
Such a beautiful song !!! Long live the Welsh people and language, be proud of your amazing nation ! Love from Quebec, we’re still here despite everyone and everything !!
I’m a proud Irish fan and this is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in football. The passion, emotion and togetherness with which this song is sung is is awe inspiring. Small children and grown men and women singing from their hears with a pride and sentiment. I partied with the Welsh fans in La Rochelle in France where the Irish and Welsh fans arranged a meet up. Great people and a great nation, wishing you all the best in Qatar (England fans can only dream of this kind of passion) 🇮🇪🇸🇩🏴
Spine tingling listening to 30,000 people sing to that, I really hope this is is going to be sung in the next match, and if we qualify it would be perfect to sing it again with daffyd and the whole team on the pitch! Cymru am byth❤❤❤🏴🏴🏴
Called it well 👌
You could see how much it meant to him, hearing the whole ground sing along with him. Massive respect to the Welsh FA for organising this.
How the hell could Wales lose after this and that Anthem ? it wasn't fair on the Austrians to even attempt to play them in that atmopshere. The sign says ''stronger together'' Wales are the only National Football side when they play infront of their people who that applies to in my view, and I'm English, and yes its rousing its passionate, its historical and it brings goosebumps shivers and little teary things into your eyes, when you understand the meaning behind it. I hope Wales do make it, I hope they can right History in World Cups by finally denying the Scots, they owe them two for no existant hand ball penalties. Good Luck from an Englishman.
Plenty of teams have immense home field advantage? Comment makes no sense

Englishman here but wow. Simply unbelievable. Nobody does singing like you Welsh. Wish we had songs like this instead of singing to an old woman in a palace.
What a tune. To those who sat on their arses, shame. Learn the words and pray the opportunity comes around again.
I never had the opportunity to learn Welsh in my Youth ( I grew up abroad - in England) It is stuff like this is why I started learning Welsh at the beginning of the year. That rendition had me in tears. The time Dafydd Iwan wrote this song was a really hard time for Wales and its fantastic to see him so moved singing it. Would love to see him in the Rugby too
How old were you when you started learning Welsh and how is it going so far? Also do you have an aptitude for languages in general?
@@williamevans8409 I’m a son of a soldier so I didn’t grow up in Wales and even so Im of the generation when it wasn’t taught. . I have only been learning since January so long way tk go
@@Gazzao1966 keep it going gaz, I'm trying as well 🏴🏴🏴.
That has to be the best song I have ever heard. That brings tears, goosebumps and so many emotions listening to it. Wales wishing you all the luck in the World Cup. Will be rooting for you all the way.Lots of love from Bonnie Scotland !
Together Stronger isn’t a football slogan it’s a calling to our country. This shows me that our spirit and identity doesn’t just live on it thrives. Ry'n ni yma o hyd, er gwaetha pawb a phopeth - "We're still here, in spite of everyone and everything."
Lucky are those who experience this beauty followed by Gareth Bale's magic live in the stadium 😍❤️, love from India 🇮🇳
Croeso to the unofficial anthem of Wales. Just amazing Also, Cardiff City Stadium, the new National Stadium of Wales.
It definitely is for the football team but the Principality “Millennium Falcon” Stadium is still perfect for the Rugby team.
Always loved Wales for it's beauty, it's people and all it's given the world, and cannot believe I didn't know about this song until last week - can't stop singing it, get goosebumps and close to tears every single time. Long live Dafydd and long live Wales!
RWYT TI YMA O HYD! DIOLCH CYMRU!
Can’t wait to hear this sung at the World Cup 🏴🏴🏴 Yma o Hyd, Cymru am Byth.
From a fellow Englishmen congratulations Wales for getting into the World Cup it’ll be a good game later when we play you's in group B game on 👊🏼
Fabulous atmosphere and song from Sheffield United ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
English. Could watch this all day. Incredible passion.
Wow!!! The passion and heart of the Welsh blows my mind! WELL DONE ON QUALIFYING
The passion of the Welsh is unmatched from start to finish we make our selves heard a beautiful sport that brings people from north and south,young and old,all together #together-stronger 🏴
It runs deep and it is ancient. Older even than the language, even deeper than the magic of Myrddin, old and deep as the ancient woods and rocks and streams. We have survived invasions and ethnic cleansing, our lands and our resources have been plundered and stolen, our labour exploited, our culture suppressed- but still we hold our heads high. Wales, our small land, is a beautiful land, and great in its variety: the mountains, the hills, the lakes, the meadows, the rivers, the sea. It is our song and the music that flows within us. It is our heritage, our jewel, our beating heart. It is our hwyl, our hiraeth, our croeso, our cariad. We feel it, we love it, we live it, we are it. Our Cymru, Our Wales.
Yma o Hyd - Still Here
You don't remember Macsen, (1)
nobody knows him.
One thousand and six hundred years,
a time too long to remember.
When Magnus Maximus (2) left Wales,
in the year 383,
leaving us a whole nation,
and today - look at us!
(The Chorus)
"We are still here,
we are still here,
despite everyone and everything,
despite everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything.
We are still here,
we are still here,
in spite of everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything.
We are still here."
Let the wind blow from the East, (3).
let the storm roar from the sea,
let the lightning split the heavens,
and the thunder shout "encore!"
Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow,
and the servile licks the floor.
Despite the darkness around us,
we are ready for the breaking of the dawn!
(Chorus)
We remember that Macsen, the Emperor
left our country in one whole piece.
And we shall shout before the nations,
"We'll be here until Judgement Day!"
Despite every Dic Siôn Dafydd, (4)
despite old Maggie (5) and her crew,
we'll be here until the end of time,
and the Welsh language will be alive!
(Chorus)
We are still here,
we are still here,
despite everyone and everything,
despite everyone and everything,
despite everyone and everything.
We are still here,
we are still here,
despite everyone and everything,
despite everyone and everything...

Dafydd Iwan has written himself in to the annals of Welsh folklore and history with this song, he has rejuvenated a passion about the Welsh language and brought a people together through an inspiring song - long after he is gone, the song will live on and continue to rouse the Welsh people and nation alike (not to mention me as an Irishman too!!) While proud to be Irish, i feel Welsh watching this too!! 🤣❤💚
It’s songs like this, and their national anthem i envy the Welsh, such passion
I’ve watched this video about 20 times over the past couple of days . It’s amazing . As an Englishman I get goosebumps listening to it. God knows what it must do to the Welsh . They must be so proud !
What a legend. So proud of him and our football team 🙂🙂
There just aren't words invented to adequately put this into some sense of overwhelming joy. And pride
He’s got me in bits again. 🏴
Absolutely outstanding from a Northern Ireland fan, you can hear the heart no matter what nation you're from
Nothing like hearing the Welsh sing!❤🏴🏴
'Yma o Hyd', mor falch fel Cymro i fan hyn, wastad yn canu yng ngemau Clwb Rygbi'r Scarlets, da iawn Dafydd - 'Still here', so proud as a Welshman here, always singing at Scarlets Rugby Club games, well done Dafydd
Thank you from my Welsh/Irish heart..you made the night kick off in the right direction. The crowd (and anyone else listening)just loved it .I bow down to you.i had tears running down my face..please turn up every time we play,please.

Soy Mexicano y me encanta esta canción interpretada por el señor que supo transmitir mucha felicidad y esperanza de que Gales vaya al Mundial y que México le toque enfrentarlo. 🇲🇽🙌🐉
Gracias amigo vemos en qatar.
This isn't right. It's about cymry pride because we had a genocide and are still colonised by the English. It goes so much deeper than kust sports. We sing because pain has no other way out without completely ruining your soul.
Muchos gracias David! I always loved watching Rafael Marquez he is one of my heroes!
Todavía estamos aquí. Es la historia de la gente y nuestra cultura, cómo los ingleses han intentado matarlo. Para nosotros es mucho más que una canción, es nuestra lucha por la libertad.
Thank you
And yes we would like to share this with you .
From an english man didnt understand a single word but felt every second .absolutely awesome
Yet another layer of pride in our Welshness !
I was gutted when Sky TV cut to an interview during this song, delighted to find it here. Phenomenal spine tingling moment, well done Wales, good luck in the World Cup, from an Irish lass.
I'm Australian, and my Nana was Welsh (Hannah Gladys Jones). When I watch them sing this I should be there as it feels so much a part of who I am :).
for anyone wandering this song is about the survival of wales, the chorus is: Ry'ni yma o hyd - we are still here, Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth - despite everyone and everything
After listening to this belter I can honestly now believe Wales can go on to actually lift the World Cup!!
Why not?
im Swansea fan but Cardiff city stadium is everything for Wales National team. The fans have made it a fortress. Never want to see a game in the principality stadium again.
The most moving and passionate rendition of a song I have ever heard.
Every time I listen to it I am moved to tears.
We English have nothing that compares to this.
Oh to be a Welshman....you are lucky boys.
My ancestors were Welsh speakers, but moved from Swansea to England in the late 19th/early 20th century where their family's connection to the language, I assume, gradually died. It feels like a great loss to lose a language that could have been passed down, and when I listen to this I feel sad that it never happened and we were left with only English. Very powerful, and a testament to a colonised nation's strength against its oppressors.
There’s nothing stopping you learning the language of your ancestors. Even if you never become fluent. There’s an old saying wales. “A little bit of Welsh is better than no Welsh at all.”
wow this gave me Goosebumps
I love this song. The welsh really can sing
This song is immense. Much love to you Wales and have an awesome World Cup - will be cheering you on from Scotland.
Our 2nd anthem. So proud to be able to sing it.
Goosebumps watching this . What passion . Love my little country 🏴
I’m a Scot at Cardiff uni. Hopefully we get a Scotland vs wales match in cardiff to decide who goes to the World Cup. Can’t wait. Best of luck cymru 🏴🏴
This is the very thing that petrifies Unionists. They are afraid of a Self Aware and proud Wales. Yma O Hyd indeed!
It's okay to be proud of our Welshness, as I am, but leaving one of the most successful unions on the planet serves what purpose?
@@jamesmason8436 Successfull? Who for? Not Wales! Wales have the same levels of inequality as the East Germans had under the Soviets. Wales has almost half its GDP written of thanks to its resources given freely to England. The UK is a successful union, thats a given... but for only one part of it. Wales just payed out over 5 billion for a railway that doesn't even go into the country. Yep, thats one hell of a profitable union Wales are a part of. A Danish economy once calculated Wales would sit 24th richest nation in the world had only 70% of the resources taken out were put back in. As it is, Wales are indeed a part of a top 10 economy while taken as a whole, when its taken on its own, Wales are sitting equal to some middle of the road African countries. Thats the Legacy of 500 yeqrs of foreign rule,...that you seem to want to protect. Wales will forever be a laughing stock until it starts acting like a grown up nation who can do things for itself. Like Ireland has done!
@@taffyducks544 how has Wales paid for a rail line when it runs an enormous public spending deficit? It has the largest deficit of the four nations in the UK and would be the largest as a percentage of GDP in Europe if Wales was an independent nation.
England subsidies Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland at the moment. Fact.
@@taffyducks544 as for comparing Wales to parts of Africa: as someone who's visited parts of Africa that's hyperbole. By what metric do you make that claim?
GDP per capita in Wales is £25k. The highest GDP per capita in Africa is Seychelles at £7k.
@@jamesmason8436 freedom would be mine,chained to the yoke of English "exceptionalism",has made Cymru nothing but a resource rich colony.
absolutely tremendous this would never happen anywhere other than wales, good job
Watching this makes me sooo proud !!!!
Brings me to tears...... Unbelievable
Dafydd Iwan deserved this. Legend.
I was thinking that as I watched it, he's definitely put enough into it over the years.
When Wales is free from the UK in 10 years we will look back at this as one of the catalysts of the national awakening
Hopefully!
Cymru Rydd!
I'm Welsh and think that would not only be a huge mistake but rather tragic.
@@jamesmason8436 Many would disagree. It can't come soon enough
@@DustyDigits why? For what purpose or benefit?
This night is why I love football, being in the stadium with my best mates belting out Yma o Hyd, Calon Lan and of course our magnificent anthem.
And of course, our lads done us proud, being Welsh is bloody great mun!🏴
Lucky b*****d. Just back from watching a friendly at the soulless corporate monstrosity Ireland uses as a home stadium. We used to be like the Welsh. Then we sold our souls for a handful of dollars and euros. Plaid Cymru!
briliant and us north walians who loathe the egg chasers are soproud ..up the footballnation down wth rotten rugby
Just beautiful :) Wales is one of my most favourite places in the world and I have many Welsh friends and love them dearly. Love the language and love the people :)
Go on the Taffys, superb performance and a wonderful song at the end.
Am 77 and lived many places .. West Wales for last 10 and will never move again. This song and crowd reaction typifies why I am secretly calling myself Welsh now.
I literally cannot stop singing this
