Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
My Hainlard Vurn Hadaye Un Anwil ee Mee,

Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri,
Glard Bye Rah Khan Torrion, En Woggion Oi vree,

Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Eye Goorol Rer-vel-weer, Glard-gar-weer Tra Mard

Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Dross Rutheed Goth-lass-ant Eye Gwide

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad

Tra mor yn fur, i'r bur hoff bau,
Trar More Un Veer, Eer Beer Hoaf Bye,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
Oh Buthed Eer Hain Ee-aith Bar-high.

Information...

The words of the Welsh National Anthem date from January 1856 and were printed two years later, in 1858.

Until then Wales had no National Anthem. The words are attributed to Evan James from Pontypridd and his son, James.

James, inspired by an old melody composed for the harp, set the words to music. The Anthem was sung at the National Eisteddfod in 1874 and since then has been recognised as a true expression of Welsh national sentiment.
