Adra - Gwyneth Glyn (geiriau / lyrics)

[@AKJones12]

6 months ago, I lost my Welsh father to cancer. His brother, my uncle, sent me this song a month later. I listen to and think of them both. My father was my home.

[@janiap5235]

The king of Welsh songs without ANY doubt whatsoever is DAFYDD IWAN.

[@rooramsay]

I am from Wales, want to go back to Wales, have lived in Ontario, Canada for the last 25 years. This song is a melding of all my worlds and hits me right in the heart. Love it.

[@TheLRider]

One of the most beautiful pictures of Gwyneth and absolutely have played and listened to the song ever since it came out. Love it.

[@rvwrocks]

My Welsh teacher suggested that the works of Gwyneth Glyn would assist with learning this lovely language, and he was so right. Really thoughtful song.

[@ninielvarda6465]

I'm so jealous that you've got a teacher, I want to learn it and I have to learn it on my own, which is hard work!

[@lmaoroflcopter]

There's fantastic online courses available if you're abroad but if you're in Wales there's easily accessible courses these days check out learnwelsh.cymru

[@SallycrosbyUk]

This song is just perfect.. Having a day of missing home. Colli Cymru

[@jdmorgan23]

Great lyrics... I especially like the folk/country steel guitar in the background. I hadn't heard of Gwyneth Glyn until stumbling across this video, but I like her sound a lot. "Cymru am byth" from America!

[@JakeFreivald]

Gorgeous song. (Cân brydferth?) Another Welsh dysgwr here -- diolch yn fawr for the lyrics and translation.

[@CantwrCymreig]

Hiraeth!

[@buddugphillips9123]

Amser cinio heddi yn ysgol, roedden i a fy ffrindiau yn gwrnando o'r gân yma! Diolch am ei postio!! #cymruambyth ❤️

[@seanhartnett79]

My ancestors were from Scotland, Wales and Ireland, I want to return some day.

[@3Dartist247]

Thank you, DistantDreamer93. All of the singers you suggested are wonderful. I couldn't miss the dobro or pedal steel backup in this song, more typically a fixture in American country music, but it's so effective here. Anyway, I'd rather listen to songs like this. Few country songs appeal to me. It's wonderful that you are such a strong advocate of the music of your country. I'm impressed and admire your dedication, because I know how carrying that weight could become a burden. Dydd Da.

[@imboredok5170]

Wnaeth ni Wrando I hyn yn yr ysgol heddiw rwyn caru y can hyn ❤️❤️❤️

[@Galahdwhidbey1]

Dear Gwyneth, As an American I am compelled to write you about my Welsh ancestry. About a month ago I did an internet search and was able to trace my direct roots to Rowland Ellis from Dolgellau, Wales. I have become consumed learning about Wales. I found you and your songs on KZbin. I am very touched by your song Adra it is very moving and has a special meaning. I feel connected to my Welsh roots listening to the song. Someday I hope to visit, Dolgellau, the place my Great (10x removed) Grandfather had to leave from religious persecution. The valley nestled at the base of Cader Idris was said to be the place Galahad received his vision solving his quest for the Holy Grail. I am sure it was more than hard to leave this place of beauty, his home, and start anew in the Americas.... 'Does unman yn debyg I Adra', medda' nhw wrtha fi. David Wade Ellis

[@bronwynbarnes4235]

I'm pleased to hear this but remember that despite your ancestry you're not welsh and trying to pass your self off as welsh will offend many in the valleys that I'm proud to call home. If you're going to visit then learn welsh as it will help you with road signs etc.

"Nunlle yn debyg i Adre" - CYMRU!

[@azamobilly]

I recently travelled 'home' to where i grew up in the brecon beacons and stood on top of the mountain singing adra (badly). I love Wales so much it hurts sometimes.

[@joshholland8194]

Love this song to the stage where decided to have " fy nghynefin yw fy nefoedd a bro fy mebyd yw fy myd " tattoed on my arm, the lyrics are beautiful ...To be born welsh is the greatest privilege, the language, it's people and it's fantastic mountains is incomparable. Dw i'n caru cymru. Cymru Rydd ❤

[@TheLRider]

Cytuno'n llwyr pa mor arbennig ydi'r llond dwrn yna o eiriau. Mor mor bwerus ac mor wir.

Thank you for posting this with the Welsh Lyrics and English translation. I love the song and especially this version. I'm learning Welsh and listening to this is a great way to practise.

This song makes me very proud of being Welsh! Brilliant song! Un o fy ffefrynau! :)

[@julietspaghetti]

My child is Welsh and I want her to learn the language. Music is a great way.

[@Drifter21031971]

Be Welsh too. Give the part of your heart to Welsh people. I'm from Russia. Our country has about 150 ethnic nationalities. And we are living in peace and friendship.

[@2010bethanys]

It’s how I learnt so much welsh singing is the best way in my opinion

[@revpgesqredux]

Cymraeg is the language of heaven; she might as well get a head start 💜

[@TheLRider]

Hope she's progressing well it will be worth it. It opens doors to a, whole new culture and history. Priceless.

[@Linguiphile]

I do so enjoy this modern flourishing of Welsh language and music. And the lyrics and translations make it so easy to learn, Thank you.

[@graybomusic]

[@claudettepreisinger]

Beautiful song...I appreciate the translation to English...Someone recommended this to me, as I commented that Welsh folk music must be alot like English folk...Well, it is and it isn't! And of course the language is different. Thanks for posting :)

[@jayhughes162]

it just isn't really Welsh Folk is about home, pride and a spirit of fighting the English so....

[@Chastonicity]

Very nice sentimental song by Gwyneth Glyn.

[@seanhartnett79]

This is the one saying there is no place like home and about John Denver. Sorry I have listened to so many welsh songs and can sing them all. If I don’t leave this note it may take me several hours to come back,

[@SallycrosbyUk]

I'm a Welsh abroad :( I miss my country :( Loving my new life though :D

Thank you for sharing and thank you for the translation. Cymru am byth from Spain ;)

[@drew277]

Víctor Gondra hi I’m welsh and I’m 10 are teacher puts this on all the time and ye if you don’t believe me dwi yn gallu siarad cymraeg hefyd pob lwck am lethal tata

[@SionTJobbins]

cân hyfryd - cofiwch rhoi'r to bach ar y geiriau Cymraeg! ;-) Just a quick note, this is a beautiful song and as Gwynedd is from the North, some of the words are said the way they'd say in the North, and, as Welsh is written phonetically, the words are written as they're said. So, "adra" = adref, in standard Welsh - home, they'd say "adre" in the South, "cartref" is the full form; 'sgin = does gen i (I don't have); "fa'ma" - fan yma (this place here, here). chdi = you (singular, familiar), usually 'ti' for other Welsh speakers. The differences aren't big at all, easy for all speakers to understand. It's great in Welsh that people are free and confident to write and sing using their own words, sometimes in English language songs there seems to be some mid-Atlantic concensus or norm which people sing in - we don't have that in Welsh!

[@sgrib03]

Dwi wastad yn gwrando ar y gân yma ers i fi symud i Loegr, dwi'n methu Ynys Môn gymaint!

Ydy, mae hi'n berfformiwr naturiol. Roedd y sesiwn yn cael ei recordio ar gyfer y teledu ac roedden nhw eisiau dau copi o bopeth ond doedd dim eisiau am ei bod yn berffaith bob tro! Mae rhai yn dweud bod y gân hon yn un drist ond dw i'n anghytuno. I fi mae'n siarad am hiraeth ac yn anad dim ... cariad. Diolch eto.

@rd998lc A real experience of passion (Where passion means pain, by strict definition) is an excellent foundation for creativity. I know how many Welsh folk feel glued to patriotism... ...Rhaid i rhyw'un ddeall does...? :P

but where is our true home? when she speaks about closing her eyes and following 'the path of your voice' i think she's referring to something deeper and more sublime than a piece of land and it's people and it's history

[@DistantDreamer93]

@Abrilpara2 I'm not sure about other you tube videos and channels, but search on my channel 'Elin Fflur' and 'Meinir Gwilym' - both artists have upbeat songs :)

[@trentmuch1]

@DistantDreamer93 It is *kinda* depressing :P Not in the sense that it makes the listener feel down - Just in the sense that it's 'low key'. I call this kinda music 'depressing', even if it isn't by the usual standard definition... My bad :( :P
