WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM. CELTIC VERSION

[@dannyboy5517]

What a beautiful anthem from a beautiful proud nation Greetings from Ireland

[@pookamcphellimy8540]

Beautiful song which never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Gwald = nation. Nation = the people of the land. Without our land we are nothing but slaves. Blessings from your Irish brothers and sisters across the sea in the ancient land of Éire!

[@brandonlavis5463]

Pooka McPhellimy Much love back at you, our Celtic brothers and sisters!

[@googlesucks2940]

Well said Pooka!!! Blessings from USA, let our heritage never fade and our people always hold the land!

[@WelshmanSudios]

Pooka McPhellimy thank you my Irish Celtic brother, much love from your brothers and sisters in Wales.. thank you for that lovely message, a proper Celtic response to my cousins.

[@WelshmanSudios]

Google Sucks thank you from Wales muck love from wales to your great land 👍

[@googlesucks2940]

lee Lewis The Irish, Welsh, and Scots are the people of the Isles! Never forget!!!!!

[@antonaghesse-berteche1900]

We have the same anthem, cousins ! Breizh ha Kembre, Llydaw a Gymru !

[@welshboi82]

This makes my heart yearn for my home. I miss my Wales! Thank you for posting.

[@lac19551811]

Love from CROATIA to CYMRU - Long live free CYMRU! It's about time, after more than 700 hunderd years!

[@brandonlavis5463]

Ivan Lackovic much love back at you! Stay strong and proud!

[@googlesucks2940]

We must all stay true in this age of great peril! All our borders are under assault. It's the same old thing: the people of the land in danger of being displaced by outsiders.

[@taura1099]

And to you Ivan, from one proud nation to another (one of my best friends is Croatian)

[@3tangle3]

Very few Welsh people seem to know this a song that is pro self-rule and independence hehe

[@anitatanner504]

She sung the Welsh National Anthem really nice, just beautiful I enjoyed listening to her version.

[@prendtomdabombSF32]

This is a beautiful rendition of a beautiful anthem, Im Irish and proud, this song srikes a chord of all people from celtic countries. Brilliant

[@dieminervaeule]

By far the most beautiful version of this great anthem I've ever heard. Greets from Germany.

[@chemicalmix]

This is an extraordinary version of one of my favourite songs. Great singing, great guitar work. Just brilliant. Well done. Chem Northern Ireland / Ulidia.

[@TheMKEWERBY]

Absolutely gorgeous! Lord, I Wish I Was Welsh!

[@Amazonwarrior777]

I love this version. Makes me miss Wales even more! Home for Christmas- woo! I've been teaching about National Anthems. Wales is certainly one of the best. Even moreso with this version!

[@Johnfwake]

Thank you so much. Hello Holland from Wales.

[@zephirusd]

The welsh athem is so sweet. It never calls the country by it's name. Only by affectionate nicknames. It is like the land were a beloved girlfriend of long date. The melody is not polluted by martial phrases. In fact, it is suitable to be sung to a baby, as he dozes into sleep. There is a short and a long version. The short version is brief and suitable for sports events. The long version makes me wish it was longer. The welsh athem is everything a national athem should be, and I envy the welsh people aestetic sense. Indeed, may the old language endure.

[@iamearthbornami]

Love and all good wishes to the beautifull peoples of Wales on their special day

[@zillybov]

I'm spent all day yesterday walking around the house singing this arrangemant. I can't get it out of my head (no bad thing) Well done

[@danclay530]

As an Englishman I have nothing except respect for the Welsh, their patriotism is an example to behold in my opinion, akin to the Scots who again I hold in high regard. I've been to Wales, all over the south, the north and I loved the place and the people... They love their rugby and their country in tandem, what more could you honestly ask from men...??

[@mush1955]

Naughty boy John ! you got me blowing my nose and wiping the tears from my eyes again.... best wishes from a Rhondda woolieback in Denmarc.

[@googlesucks2940]

Never betray our heritage, our people!

[@llanbradach]

My wife and I just listened to this and thought it was excellent, you have a great voice and you do the Welsh proud. Thank you.

[@cellanhowells123]

im so proud to be welsh we hae a great rugby team and by far the best anthem in the world

[@themarksman5642]

One of the few Anthems that bring tears of pride! A great nation, land of poets and warriors!

[@brandonlavis5463]

Guy Ettridge agreed!

[@brandonlavis5463]

Makes me damn proud to be a Celt, a welshmun true and proud! Keep the amazing signing up! :)

[@redhotror]

never stops being a wonderful sound !! will last( forever) .

[@quintabear]

Also as a Canadian I concider the Welsh Anthem mine and i have nothing but great respect for my heritage,I love wales very much.We have been there twice and I'll be back home again as soon sas i can. Don't get me wrong I am a true Canadian but the relatives that i have met in Wales and the friends that I have made in Wales bring me back to a sense of home and comunity that wish that I knew here. God bless the Welsh!

[@cigh7445]

You can love something without claiming it as your own. I'm not from Wales and also love their anthem

[@alexphelps952]

Diolch😭👌🏻👏. Dw i'n meddwl mae'n tlws a fendigedig

[@bobbailey7024]

Now the is a proper National Anthem. Much better than most and especially the English dirge. Well sung young lady x

[@Johnfwake]

The location adds to the effect. Thanks for your comment, I will pass on to Lorraine. She's a Swansea girl and a very proud Welsh woman.

[@mush1955]

To be born Welsh is to be born blessed...... nuff said init !

[@DamnedPixie]

Beautiful. Makes me want to go back home.

[@goatpappy49]

So beautiful . . .

[@desmondfitzgerald9802]

could the SOUTHERN irish anthem (the soldier's song, awrawn na veen) be reinterpreted as beautifully as this welsh one? god, this version is awesome.

[@SybilVane31]

FANTASTIC!!!! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

[@nonwatcyn]

This is a lovely rendition of 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau' - thanks - bedigedig!!

[@Cadwaladr2012]

Dignified ...ground-up independence for all people on this beautiful planet!

[@chrisruss9861]

Sung tenderly. I like the softer earlier parts before the slightly strained conclusion.

[@Popperite]

Probably the finest Anthem tune in the world.....

[@Johnfwake]

Thanks for comment. Lorraine has just returned from Vancouver, Canada where she undertook a concert. Type in 'I Cant forget my Wales', or 'Alan Cunningham, Erwood' for more Lorraine Welsh songs. JW.

[@neesan1]

Makes me feel so ** PROUD ** !

[@Johnfwake]

Thanks for your comment. Its also interesting how many English have Welsh Surnames, Davies, Jones, Griffiths, Powell, Lloyd etc., It could be that their ancestors were Welsh and moved to England and started thinking of themselves as English. The hissing LL is made by putting your tongue at the top of your mouth and saying Llanfaircaerionion for instance or Llanfairpwllgwynwyth...... By the way I love Coventry Cathedral and the original one next to it. Always pop in to see them when in Coventry.

[@ducksap15]

This is Beautiful. I am beginning a book and want to set it in Wales. Not sure why, it just drew me. I've never been there though, and since I'm blind the vids with scenery don't help. Any suggestions of vids or sites which describe your country? The music, food and lore I've found, so far is wonderful! Thanks...BTW is Welsh also Celtic? I've researched some Welsh, but I don't think I'm even close with pronunciation...Thanks for all your vids m

[@mooliparsnip9264]

Bootiful :)

[@Johnfwake]

The River Edw is a magical river flowing through the most rural and peaceful landscape. There is another super river running through Camlan Field in Mid Wales. Type in 'Camlan King Arthur'on You Tube and have a look.

[@navnig]

i see your point bud and i agree with ya. it's just down to my own personal taste, the sound of the old choir back home in glyncorwyg singing it when i was a kid still sticks with me today.

[@Hiraghm]

Ian Holme (as Fluellen): "Aye, all the water in Wye cannot wash yer majesty's Welsh blood from ye!" Kenneth Branaugh's "Henry V". I didn't understand that sentence until I saw this video.

[@walthergrorubatscher2383]

Diolch yn fawr! Cymru am byth!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤

[@bobapbob5812]

Well, done John. Good pick

[@Johnfwake]

Hi. No, not famous. Rather an unsung heroine of mine. Released a few CDs with bands. This is one of her few single CDs. She is the lead singer in Tribute bands also, Abba, Californians etc. Plays all over the U.K. in this guise. A brilliant performer and songwriter. Regards to you, John

[@N4mme]

This is the version we use in Wales.. I didn't even know we had a English version?

[@roycompton7363]

one more time !!!

[@ymarw1684]

Beautiful

[@owenwelshfc4216]

Cymru am byth :) 👍

[@cymruambythguards7231]

Owen WelshFC Cymru am byth! Off to join the Welsh Guards soon. Have you served or serving?

[@brandonlavis5463]

Qrow Branwen I'm going RAC as tank reg or Queens dragoon guards, see you in the field brother! XD

[@Solstaro]

beautiful

[@LoOccitan]

Great langage Greatings from Occitania !

[@calibra101]

Trackingtracker spoken like a true englishman...Obviously proud of your german queen and scottish prime minister....and that dirge of an anthem you ve got

[@grandslam1998]

Bravo Bravo. I loves it see.

[@Johnfwake]

Thanks McAndy89. Was up in the Orkneys recently. Beautiful land. JFW.

[@Johnfwake]

@Freimaco POINT TAKEN. We probably both agree that it is a superb and inspirational anthem. Your comment has legs. Thanks.

[@redhotror]

so so good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CantwrCymreig]

Is there any version of "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" that ISN'T Celtic?

[@ultimativerHexer]

no, it's how one sings it. It's the original text.

[@johnhowe50]

There is no Celtic language this is sung in Welsh.

[@DJTempo_x]

The Welsh language IS Celtic, Its a member of the Brythonic branch of the Celtic languages! ffwl

[@danielthomas6739]

As a Welsh speaking person I can assure you that Welsh is not a Celtic language. Welsh and the languages of Basque, Brythonic and Cornish are not Celtic but derive from the Iberian peninsula. The genome project confirms this. Celts are a different race altogether and came from Central Europe

[@chemicalmix]

Eric Bowen -very good point!

[@MickeyCuervo36]

Loving the guitar and drum accompaniment in this. I know an Irish person would call the drum a "bodhran" but what's the Welsh name for it?

[@jimenezap09]

The Welsh are Khumric or Cymric, though there are are some Celts in Britain, I read from a book by researchers Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. This Celtic version of the Welsh National Anthem is hauntingly good.

[@3tangle3]

UNDER WELSH LAW NO ONE COULD CLAIM THE RIVERS OR STREAMS NOT EVEN THE KING....look at us now :(

[@3tangle3]

@Johnfwake hehe the word celtic is from the greek keltoi, the so called celts never knew about the word :) until celtic revival of 1700-1800s.....welsh are brythonic albeit latinised language Great vid. Diolch yn fawr iawn am y uwchlwyth (upload)

[@Johnfwake]

Thanks for telling me. Were they Quakers? Those years were the highspot years for the Quakers leaving England and Wales. John

[@stevestone07]

Sweet! :) Bendigadig! x

[@MaxfieldMini]

@BDeiste Yes, It is beautiful~ and what a nice comment :D But the language of Wales (Cymru) isn't Gaelic (Gaelic has 2 versions, Scottish and Irish), it is called Cymraeg which is a Celtic language. Cymraeg is the oldest language in all of Europe. I am trying to teach myself the language, its my ancestory, Wales is my passion~ Diolch yn Fawr! Gail

[@allnations360]

There's a big State downunder named new SOUTH WALES

[@barnowl5774]

It is New South Wales. When English Lieutenant Cook (later Captain Cook) saw the coast on Australia in the 1700s, he named the land South Wales as it reminded him of the South Wales coast. Later it was amended to New South Wales.

[@Johnfwake]

Beautiful comment. Thank you.

[@MaxfieldMini]

@aTruster Just wondering, how do you know this was one of the languages given at Babel? Is there scripture to back it up?

[@danclay530]

great comment, thank you... Cymru Am Byth

[@Johnfwake]

@MrJazz56 Hi. Released on a CD by Lorraine King

[@MrJoshuaAnimation]

So does Cornwall , amazing anthem (i'm from wales, and fluent in welsh) :)

[@JamesArranMcGregor]

Cymru am Byth!!!

[@LoOccitan]

Quine beroia cansou aquere :) Salutat d'occitinia à tots los Celtas :)

[@bethdavis1812]

What a lovely trout the fish was nice too only joking that was tidy

[@cellanhowells123]

@llanberis100 of course this is a celtic version cant you hear the music

[@1948DESMOND]

the welsh were born to sing, did you all know that? the blacks and italian, too, of course. someone should bring out a c.d. with these three cultures on it. go on, go on, go on!!!

[@brandonlavis5463]

Blondie McKenzie A Welsh, African and Italian ey? Sounds like a good idea actually!

[@Johnfwake]

If you want to download this song. GO TO - DOWNLOAD FACTOR LORRAINE KING - on web. Cost about £1.50p sterling.

[@mutley0777]

@twlthteg Can you explain why do the Welsh not wash ?

[@kierencassidy8449]

We clearly do why do English people got downsyormes omg god everytime you hint the keyboard with you head .

[@stefania-iscritoraeillustr314]

C'est la mélodie du hymne bréton =D

[@aTruster]

The Welsh language is one of the original languages given at Babel.

[@RhodriMcDonagh]

where did you get this version from?? diolch

[@mush1955]

A long-standing rule banning athletes waving unofficial flags at the Olympic Games has been criticised by politicians in Wales. According to an International Olympic Committee (IOC) rule, competitors should not have flags which could be perceived as a "political gesture". This means the flags of Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are effectively banned. Team GB will be represented by the union flag Time for Welsh Independance boys !

[@moogleyeify]

the irich, scottish and cornish are all celtic, are some parts of france too?

[@3tangle3]

Born in a state with twisted origins ,born welsh by the grace of God/Mam :)

[@redhotror]

@BDeiste all the way to canada. type in say somthing in welsh and go from there (good luck )

[@1948DESMOND]

has she recorded this in English?

[@3tangle3]

@cyfartha its stereotype celtic...irish? or maybe the old sounds of irish and welsh before chruch music took over

[@Freimaco]

Celtic interpretation? If you mean that the rhythm is slightly changed, then say so. But it's hard to see how the Welsh National Anthem, sung in the Welsh in which it was written, and instantly recognisable as such, can be described as any sort of 'interpretation', let alone 'Celtic'. It's like saying that God Save The Queen, sung in English, is a Saxon interpretation of the song.

[@BradDon2313]

Us Celtic people are spread far and wide... even "Down Under"

[@AlexMoby]

Same for me, except that I have only been to the South and I am not English but French.

[@crazynance]

I think the world should sing it.. but that's just me! :D

[@mush1955]

If you want to see good relations between Wales & the USA try seeing the reaction that Donny Osmond ( Welsh ancestors from Merthyr ) got when he sang in Welsh in Cardiff. :- Donny Osmond sings welsh verse of myfanwy in Cardiff on youTube ( no chance of war between US and Wales.......we ain't got any oil LOL ! )

[@xmargedx]

Tis isn't Celtic....it's just Welsh :)

[@Lee77]

im english i love land of my fathers and i want 2 here katherine jenkins and a choir 2 sing it coz it such a great song and im disappointed with god save the queen it just no where near as good

[@Johnfwake]

Diolch. Your comment will be passed to Lorraine. Take care, John

[@Johnfwake]

@llanberis100 Hi. Yes, I take your point. Ta.

[@wrexhambeard2007]

Da Iawn!!

[@1948DESMOND]

as the welsh were born to sing, has this lady recorded this beautiful version in other languages? how about an english version, plus versions in the other five celtic lingos? i am not taking No for an answer. this version is the best version of my favourite national a nthem. my other fave anthem is the german one.
