  • Emyn / Hymn: 'Dros Gymru'n gwlad'
    (Geiriau / Words: gan Lewis Valentine (1893-1986), Alaw / melody 'Finlandia': gan Jan Sibelius, 1865 - 1957)
    1. Dros Gymru'n gwlad, O! Dad dyrchafwn gri,
    Y winllan wen a roed i'n gofal ni;
    D'amddiffyn cryf a'i cadwo'n ffyddlon byth,
    A boed i'r gwir a'r glân gael ynddi nyth;
    Er mwyn dy Fab a'i prynodd iddo'i hun,
    O! crea hi yn Gymru ar dy lun.
    2. O! deued dydd pan fo awelon Duw
    Yn chwythu eto dros ein herwau gwyw,
    A'r crindir cras dan ras cawodydd nef
    Yn erddi Crist, yn ffrwythlon iddo Ef;
    A'n heniaith fwyn â gorfoleddus hoen
    Yn seinio fry haeddiannau'r Addfwyn Oen.
    *************************
    For Wales our land, O Father, we raise a cry,
    The sacred vineyard entrusted to our care;
    Your strong defence will keep it ever faithful,
    And allow what is true and holy to find in her a nest;
    For your Son's sake who bought it to be his own,
    O! make it a Wales in your image.
    And let the day come when the breath of God
    Will blow again across our withered acres,
    And the rough wasteland by the gift of heaven's showers
    Will become the gardens of Christ, fruitful for Him;
    And our gentle old tongue in joy and in gladness
    Will shout to the heights the praises of the Gentle Lamb.
    (this rough and ready translation is by 'muisire')

    Bu'r Parchedig Lewis Valentine yn filwr yn y rhyfel byd cyntaf, ac fel llawer arall, arweiniodd y profiad hwnnw iddo bregethu heddychiaeth am weddill ei fywyd. Roedd yn un o'r tri, gyda Saunders Lewis a DJ Williams a losgodd ysgol fomio Penyberth fel protest yn erbyn bomio dinasoedd fel arf rhyfel. Cafodd ei garcharu am y weithred hon yn Wormwood Scrubs. Ef oedd golygydd Y Deyrnas, misolyn y Bedyddwyr Cymraeg.
    Welsh nationalism was ignited in 1936 when the UK government settled on establishing the RAF Penrhos bombing school at Penyberth on the Llŷn peninsula in Gwynedd. The events surrounding the protest, known as Tân yn Llŷn (Fire in Llŷn), helped define Plaid Genedlaethol Cymru. The UK government settled on Llŷn as the site for its new bombing school after similar locations Northumberland and Dorset were met with protests.[2]
    However, UK Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin refused to hear the case against the bombing school in Wales, despite a deputation representing half a million Welsh protesters[3]. Protest against the bombing school was summed up by Saunders Lewis when he wrote that the UK government was intent upon turning one of the 'essential homes of Welsh culture, idiom, and literature' into a place for promoting a barbaric method of warfare.Construction of the bombing school building began exactly 400 years after the first Act of Union annexing Wales into England.
    On 8 September 1936 the bombing school building was set on fire and in the investigations which followed Plaid Cymru members Saunders Lewis, Lewis Valentine, and D.J. Williams claimed responsibility. The trial at Caernarfon failed to agree on a verdict and the case was sent to the Old Bailey in London. The "Three" were sentenced to nine months imprisonment in Wormwood Scrubs, and on their release they were greeted as heroes by fifteen thousand Welsh at a pavilion in Caernarfon.
    Many Welsh were angered by the judge's scornful treatment of the Welsh language, by the decision to move the trial to London, and by the decision of University College, Swansea, to dismiss Lewis from his post before he had been found guilty.[8] Dafydd Glyn Jones wrote of the fire that it was "the first time in five centuries that Wales struck back at England with a measure of violence... To the Welsh people, who had long ceased to believe that they had it in them, it was a profound shock."
    This incident is known in the Welsh language as Llosgi'r ysgol fomio ("the burning of the bombing school") or Tân yn Llŷn ("Fire in Llŷn"), and has attained iconic status in Welsh nationalist circles.

    The original is finnish compositeur Jean Sibelius work from Finland Thats why name Finlandia :) and is telling how Finland was under Russia but survive and became own nation in the original finnish lyrics Its very beautiful and maybe because of that also its national anthem to Biafra and Estonia and also singing as song Be still My soul And now also as Welsh Hymn All with they own lyrics :) ofcourse But the same Sibelius Finlandia music peace under
    Most finnish people like to have this as our own National Anthem too but we have in that place song called Our Land But everytime when we hear our national compositeur Jean Sibelius Finlandia or all these different loans of his song we are only proud that other like it that much too :)
