National Anthems Lyrics
Wales National Anthem Lyrics


Hen Wlad fy Nhadau
(Land of my Fathers)

The Welsh National Anthem

Cymraeg:
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

•    (Cytgan - Chorus )
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

English:
Land of my Fathers, O land of the free,
A land of poets and minstrels, famed men.
Her brave warriors, patriots much blessed,
It was for freedom that they lost their blood.

Wales ! Wales !,
I am devoted to my country.
So long as the sea is a wall to this fair beautiful land,
May the ancient language remain.
