Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau | Old Land Of My Fathers (The Welsh National Anthem). By Evan James. Translated by Paul Catherall<\/p>\n
1.
\nThe old land of my fathers is dear unto me,
\nLand of poets and singers, great men of renown;
\nHer warriors brave and patriots great,
\nFor Freedom they lost their blood.<\/p>\n
My Country! My Country! I’m devoted to my Country;
\nWhile the sea like a wall protects the dear land,
\nMay the old language live evermore!
\n2.
\nOld Wales, land of mountains – paradise of the bards,
\nEach valley, each clifftop to me are fair;
\nThrough love of my country, each restless brook
\nFills me with wonder and joy.<\/p>\n
My Country! My Country! I’m devoted to my Country;
\nWhile the sea like a wall protects the dear land,
\nMay the old language live evermore!
\n3.
\nThough enemies trampled our land under-foot,
\nThe old tongue of the Welsh thrives as ever;
\nThe traitor’s dread hand failed to silence our muse,
\nLike the melodious harp of our nation. <\/p>\n
My Country! My Country! I’m devoted to my Country;
\nWhile the sea like a wall protects the dear land,
\nMay the old language live evermore!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
