Welch National Anthem Lyrics

Hen Wlad fy Nhadau
(Land of my Fathers)

(The Unofficial Welsh National Anthem*)

Cymraeg

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi

Gwlad beirdd a chantorion enwogion o fri

Ei gwrol ryfelwr, gwlad garwyr tra mad

Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

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.

(* The unofficial Welsh anthem by tradition, since 1905. It has not been established as a national anthem by law, but it has been used as a national anthem at official governmental ceremonies)
