Learn how to sing ‘Yma o hyd’ - Wales’ 2nd National anthem

In today’s video I’m going to teach you how to sing the first verse and chorus of ‘Yma o hyd’. A lovely Welsh folk song by Dafydd Iwan which has become a very popular song to be sung by Welsh football fans at the Wales games and at the World Cup.

I am English but see myself as coming from Yorkshire first I have great respect for wales for keeping their culture alive this long

[@samuelgrant8732]

Exactly the same with me mush

[@crankyeldergod709]

This song is why I want to learn Welsh.

[@tikerlivvy1582]

Just know that you've such an impact, I'm seventeen years old and from Germany. I absolutely appreciate the Welsh language and already learned another song. Thanks for your educating video!

[@juliedavies5814]

great video

[@EiwaGreen-kc2wu]

You motivated me to learn Welsh!

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Thats great to hear.

[@Esoteric_Loonaism]

If you ever do another Welsh song you should teach how to sing Myfanwy! (Totally not because i'm still having trouble with the pronunciation of certain lines lol...)

[@cybersecDad]

Take care of yourself, Jason!! don't push your voice on our account. and cheer softly today as Wales DEFEATS England!!

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Diolch! I’m ok thanks but it is going to be hard to not cheer loudly every time we score a goal.🤞

I love it,and being English myself, I love the fierce pride and passion in it.Indeed,I think of it when I'm having a bad day, or I'm on the receiving end from the bad guys. It keeps me going. I always like to think of us as firm friends forever.

[@robbpatterson6796]

I'd never noticed the mutation of phopeth until you mentioned. Hope you're doing well and on the mend. Great to see this just before the game against England later. Hopefully we smash them :)

[@JoanLeGriff]

Diolch yn fawr Jason! Myfanwy and Men of Harlech next please if you have time, get well soon!!!

[@goldwhitedragon]

Thank you, boyo. I love you. Men of Harlech in Welsh would be great, too.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

That’s a great idea! 👍

[@martiwilliams4592]

Thank you this is very helpful.

[@sharonjones4509]

Thank you so much, I tried to sing this for our team but only by singing the chorus how I thought that it was being sung. I think that everyone would be thankful that they couldn't hear it, xx

[@laumaengele653]

[@phillipbernhardt-house6907]

Wanting to learn this song a while back (last year or before?) is how I first got onto your videos through the KZbin algorithm, so it's great to see you getting into it a bit in teaching here! It's a beautiful song with great lyrics and a great message and spirit behind it, and I love that it's known and used as widely as it is in Wales these days! Diolch yn fawr for this! :)

[@dirtylittlerockstar]

Hope Wales wins tonight. I'm English (only 50%, mind 😁) and also hate football but hearing this song has been bliss. Feel better soon, or else! Diolch yn fawr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It's fitting that we're called the land of song because it has been through music - specifically our anthem and hymns - that I've been learning welsh and found it easier and motivating that way. I'm not fluent enough to have a conversation with other pobl, but I'll get their soon enough. Cymreag is not exactly an easy language but it's not the hardest either. It's somewhere in that mid range of difficulty which keeps interest going. (Just try Russian. Cor blimey, now THAT'S a hard language!)

[@RealOGfikey]

@alta8029 It's worth learning it fluently. Especially to right the wrongs of the past by those who tried to wipe it out.

[@engtilde]

Here in Radnorshire, the community has chosen “Hei Mistar Urdd” as the unofficial anthem. Weird.

[@davidaldridge6870]

I always thought "Delilah" was our 2nd anthem

[@stephenciattei]

Want to sing Calon Lan

[@user-fp8ry7bs8h]

👍

[@oceanwanderer8065]

Get well soon mate!

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Diolch/Thanks

[@melbeasley9762]

I'm English born, with Welsh ancestry on my mothers side. I'm 67 but just started Welsh for beginners even though I live in Spain and my Spanish is crap. Doesn't make any sense does it!?

[@lonwof2105]

Heh, I am American by many generations. But It is weird how much I look like a welshman. It aches this lost connection.

[@BlatteSvartskallsson]

Well, learned to sing Yma o hyd rather naturally as I am not English. Neither ll nor ch is not at all anything hard to pronounce for me.
