Ioan Gruffudd and Matthew Rhys: Ar Lan y Mor and Morfudd Fel yr Haul

Bringing this back. Have no idea where I found it years ago, or where it originally came from, but damn is it fantastic. They don't do the whole of Morfudd Fel yr Haul, but still.

The palm trees in Wales are so beautiful during surfing season.

God Mathew looks so young there..these two shared a flat in Wales for yrs..you can just imagine how much fun that was!!

[@djcarlos687]

A beautiful Welsh language, told without even a hint of English accent, by great actors who paint the sounds with their voices. Applause for these actors, especially Gruffud, with this emphasis on hard sounds ...

[@Jeni10]

There’s no English accent because Ioan is Welsh!

I remember this. Thanks for bringing it back. I'll seek the translation online. Thank you!

"Morfudd Fel yr Haul" was written by Dafydd ap Gwilym, a famous Welsh poet, and "Ar Lan y Môr" is a traditional Welsh folksong or at least the lyrics of it in this video :) Morfudd Fel yr Haul Gollwyn ydd wyf ddyn geirllaes,gorlliw eiry mân marian maes;gwŷl Duw y mae golau dyn,goleuach nog ael ewyn. Goleudon lafarfron liw,goleuder haul, gŵyl ydyw.Gŵyr obryn serchgerdd o’m pen,goreubryd haul ger wybren.Gwawr y bobol, gwiwra bebyll,gŵyr hi gwatwaru gŵr hyll.Gwiw Forfudd, gwae oferfarddgwan a’i câr, gwen hwyrwar hardd.Gwe o aur, llun dyn, gwae efgwiw ei ddelw yn gwaeddolef. Mawr yw ei thwyll a’i hystryw,mwy no dim, a’m enaid yw.Y naill wers yr ymdengysfy nyn gan mewn llan a llys,a’r llall, ddyn galch falch fylchgaer,yr achludd gloyw Forfudd glaer,mal haul ymylau hoywles,mamaeth tywysogaeth tes.Moliannus yw ei syw swydd,maelieres Mai oleurwydd.Mawr ddisgwyl Morfudd ddisglair,mygrglaer ddrych mireinwych Mair.
