Having now done so, I understand a little more the great love the Welsh have for their native land and its history. Let me recommend to anyone who reads this that they listen to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to understand something of the history of my people.

    Not many know that "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" was the first ever national anthem to be played at ANY sporting event.
    It happened in 1905 when the New Zealand All Blacks, the best of the Southern Hemisphere played Wales, the triple crown winners and best of the Northern Hemisphere at Cardiff. It was the first time the Haka was done in Wales.
    In response Teddy Morgan started singing the Welsh national anthem in spontaneous defiance. The huge crowd picked it up.
    The All Blacks said it was mesmerising.
    As a result of this one incident national anthems are now routinely played at sporting events.

      1. This land of my fathers is dear to me
      Land of poets and singers, and people of stature
      Her brave warriors, fine patriots
      Shed their blood for freedom
      Chorus:
      Land! Land! I am true to my land!
      As long as the sea serves as a wall
      For this pure, dear land
      May the language endure for ever.
      2. Old land of the mountains, paradise of the poets,
      Every valley, every cliff a beauty guards;
      Through love of my country, enchanting voices will be
      Her streams and rivers to me.
      3. Though the enemy have trampled my country underfoot,
      The old language of the Welsh knows no retreat,
      The spirit is not hindered by the treacherous hand
      Nor silenced the sweet harp of my land.

Many of your ancestors walked from Bardi to South Wales to work in the coal mines and later to set up successful Cafes and other businesses, they integrated wonderfully with the native Welsh, Y Cymry. The "Welsh Italians' are much loved and highly respected in Wales, since I believe our peoples have the same values and roots.

      To be fair though our anthem is about our ancestors defending our land from the Romans (they never suppressed the native population), Anglo-Saxons (English) (Invasion), Normans (Vikings) (Invasion), English(could not suppress the native population), Irish (raids), Scottish (raids) and Vikings (raids) the first section of the song mentions "her brave warriors, fine patriots shed their blood for freedom".
      Granted, after a Welsh family got the throne of England (Henry Tudor) his son went against his fathers intentions of keeping England and Wales separate because he wanted central control.
      Its also about the natural beauty of Wales + it being home to musicians and bards in addition to the survival of the Welsh language.

But if God Save the Queen was replaced with Jerusalem for England as well as for Britain as a whole then I'd gladly sing it. I never sing God Save The Queen. The monarchy is nothing but a tourist attraction now and I'm not a royalist. And a national anthem should be about the country...not about a monarchy or one person. It's time that anthem was replaced. During sports events I'll always sing my anthem, Flower of Scotland and I would sing Jerusalem too.

    I don't understand a word. I am South African.
    But I still come back to this as the most beautiful anthem I have ever heard in my entire life.

    My mother was Welsh and this is one of the greatest anthems in the world. I'm English but this makes me shiver with emotion.

    If I could be any other nationality besides American, I would be Welsh. They are a proud and patriotic people!

      Jack daniels, jesse james, joshua humphreys, buddy holly, tammy wynette, george henry thomas, zach levi, ted levine, Alfred lloyd wright, just a few welsh americans off the top of my head. another surprisingly long list. Welsh influence in the states is often played down or outright ignored.

    Without question the greatest National Anthem of them all and a whole country proud to sing it, as they should be, absolutely beautiful and totally uplifting, and I'm an Englishman.
