Facts. Welsh is spoken by 27% of the population 650.000 people and don't forget the 250.000 people who speak Welsh who live in England and 11000 who live in Scotland so the Welsh language has in UK over 900.000 speakers and rising every year by 20.000. it is by no means over. Diolch yn fawr
You also forget the Welsh speakers in Patagonia, Argentinia, the only time the Welsh regiments could not have used Welsh in open over coms was the Falklands war....
here's the translation: There is my sweetheart down in the orchard, Oh how I wish I were there myself, There is the house and there is the barn; There is the door of the cow house open. There is the gallant, branching oak, A vision, lovingly crowned. I will wait in her shade Until my love comes to meet me. There is the harp, there are her strings; What better am I, without anyone to play her for? There’s the delicate fair one, exquisite and full of life; What nearer am I, without having her attention?
My father was a Welsh man. Most of his life was away from Wales. His heart however never left wales. Listening to the Welch choirs is the most beautiful thing to listen to, the passion and sound moves me to tears. We brought the ashes of my father to his home town nant peris. For me listening to welshmen singing in Welsh is an emotional experience of joy. Thank you.
I am from Germany and came here due to my interest in such languages. Ever since I first heard this song, I thought I may have felt the absence of time. And that never changed. I am a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and his love for the Welsh language brought me here. May this language never be forgotten.
I was humiliated to be a Welsh girl because most people do not know of my country's existence and it, for some reason, embarrasses me. This song, as well as many others, however, makes me feel so proud to be Welsh because it's so beautiful and the language is so unique. It's hard to learn and pronounce and it makes me feel satisfied to know I can actually speak a language most cannot.
Never be ashamed of where you come from...I am Welsh, raised in America and would gladly trade spots with you whenever you are ready....the world has become fake and plastic and it sickens me....I long for the simple life....You are more blessed than you understand...You live in a magical place...It's a good thing so many do not know of Wales....retains her Magic that way....stay blessed
WHAT? Who hasn't heard of Wales? 😆 I live In America and I know of the place for heaven's sake! Don't worry, you don't need to impress people who decide to judge you despite the fact that THEY don't know basic geography! Just wear it like a badge of honor. Wales is a beautiful country and old as they come. Don't hide, take pride.

+Highretrogamelord You might want to take another look at Wales xD As a Welshman myself, like Joe, I say diolch yn fawr (thank you very much) to you my friend :)
The PROBLEM in the north is the campaign to drive any, and every-body who is not fluent in the language OUT of that part of the country. Ethnic cleansing based on a language which has no known use outside Wales.
I love how the Welsh people still have such a hold on their native tongue. Yes in some parts of Scotland and Ireland they still speak their native Gaelic, but nothing like Wales.
+Char Char Binks Exactly. Everyone in Wales speaks English, there is zero need for the Welsh language. Yet fluent Welsh speakers in Wales are rising to nearly 30%, growing each day. I'd say that's a pretty strong hold. Despite speaking English, still holding on to their heritage.
I agree with ya...Welsh and in general the gaellic people of Britain should keep this language alive.. it would be such a shame for a beautiful language like that belong only in history books...
WidePeepo7 nice one... lots of us Welsh or the Irish are belonging through our blood, also years ago they wanted my gran to go to America to have tests done on her because of her being o negative and I also got the same blood, but she did not go and all flights etc would have been payed for
A lot of Welsh came over with Strongbow during the Norman invasions. They eventually assimilated into Irish culture and the popular saying 'More Irish than the Irish themselves' came to be. One of the most popular Irish surnames Walsh come from Irish for Welsh man I believe.
Iordain, you'll be pleased to know that those two great welshmen, Patrick and David, both lived in a beehive cell ( at Ffynon Santes Mair - Saint Mary's well ) in my village of Llangyfelach, just north of Swansea. They had both trained in the great teaching monastery at Llancarfan, near Barry, and eventually moved West and North, with the end result of becoming the patron saints of the countries they were evangelising.
I'm English and believe it very, very important you keep the Welsh language alive. It's your heritage and you're right to be proud of it. Love this song. Beautifully preformed here. Well done indeed.
@@StevanBarry Thank you Stevan. You're a gentleman. Love your country and I apologise for those of us who invade it, buy properties and only bother to live in them for 2 months a year. Something very wrong about that in my opinion. Don't enjoy it when you beat us in rugby though....:-)
@@DavidA-ps1qr You have absolutely no need to apologise David... and yes the getting one over the bigger neighbour is always nice lol... Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Same I am English and my teacher was Welsh and when it was the harvest festival we used to sing this and all the teachers were English except my teacher they didn’t understand what we were saying pretty funny really
Found this about 5 years ago on some compilation... and STILL this is so so beautiful I can not describe it... maybe it is the voice, maybe the language or maybe how smooth it is, but it is wonderful just like lulubay. Thank You for it.
The Welsh have given us the most beautiful language and music in all of human history. I hold more dearly to my Welsh heritage than to any other in my family history. Cymru am byth!
Same. I'm Lakota, and what caught my attention. Was Dacw, which pronounced (at least here). Sounds a lot like a Lakota word, which means "what is it?" I also just like the song
My family used to be massive, 14 children to each couple, all living in tiny villages in the south of Wales, working in the mines mainly. Then, my great grandparents on both sides of my family moved to England, one side to London, the other to Kent. I was born and raised in England, but I've always felt a connection to Wales as my origin, as my home. My last fully Welsh relative died two weeks ago, we are playing Land of My Father's at his funeral in two days. I know longer have my living link to my Welsh homeland, but it will always be the land of my Father's, and songs like this keep the connection strong, and keep Wales beautiful and magical in my heart 💕
Learn Welsh Elouise, your connection to your roots will grow stronger and you will feel better. It's like dusting off old memories, releasing old forgoten soul. Every one of us have this coded in our long DNA strand, we just need to uncode that (and not change this by any mRNA or other DNA manipulation under any circumstances - it has to be natural way if we don't want to be cutted from our ancestry, biological and evolutional wisdom and strenght and the most important - from our soul). Learn Welsh, unwind your ancestors memories, free your soul ❤✌
Welsh people, please do not let your unique language die. As a Turk, i really admire you people and your language. Your unique culture really seems out of a fantasy world. And i really wish i could speak that unique language one day. I hope you become clear of the Anglos day by day.
Fear not. Celtic languages in Britain and Ireland are being revived. Also. A recent genome study found out that the old Myth that the Anglo Saxons of England wiped put the celts was actually untrue. Anglo Saxon DNA Actually makes up less than half of English DNA and as low as 10% in some areas. So even In England, a majority of our ancestors would have spoken Celtic Brythonnic languages very similar to welsh
After living over 10 years in Wales as a Pole I started learning this language even if nearly nobody using it daily. I like to surprise my older neighbours everyday with new phrases I learn in their language and they seems to be very happy of it. Most of my english I learn I learn from older people who speak so clear. Compare to young people who speak like they keep hot noodle inside of mouth
You are not turk, you should revive the lydian language , you are giving other peoples advices but you forgot that your ancestors shifted from native Anatolian languages to greek and now Turkic, my friend
@@Sgt.chickens I totally agree with that! English people aren’t really Germanic by blood. Even with a Viking invasions. And that makes me glad. And that Cymreg is still alive.
I am American but of Welsh descent. My family left Wales when the mines shut down and then left the motherland to work in the mines of Wisconsin. I am just starting to learn the language of my ancestors.
Perhaps we are related via work. My Grandfather’s Father was a Smith in those parts. Last name belt buckle makers. Someone needed to actually fetch the iron to make stuff. Seems yours was it. Nice.
proud to be welsh. proud to be part of a bold country that not only retains its roots but upholds them, makes them deeper and enriches them. we speak with voice and reason, always have and always will.
Amazing how this old version is still the best one. This was a golden moment in time. The back vocals are perfect against the song. A beautiful song, rendered with the utmost simplicity and innocence. Not trying to show off, not trying to be extra cool. The song speaks for itself. It's simply wonderful.
Just can't stop listenin' to this epic song... Love the sound of Welsh language. Even buying a pack of cigarettes sounds like casting spells in Welsh :) Greetings from Poland.
What a beautiful and resonant language 🏴 I'm so happy it's now revived ❤️ I'm actually in love with indigenous civilizations, including the Celtic civilization 💓
Interesting. As an Algerian, do you feel the same about the Berber languages and think that Berber languages should be spoken instead of Arabic that originated far away?
Hi William. I'm Canadian of British descent and I LOVE the welsh folksongs. As long as someone keeps this beautiful music alive your lovely language will NEVER die.
I'm Hispanic and I honestly have come to love Welsh so much. I currently know French the most fluently besides English, but along with Swedish, I really hope to become fluent in Welsh (and maybe the other Celtic languages too!). Diolch for this song. It is truly beautiful and what inspired me to start my studies.
I really like the Welsh language, I love how it sounds. I wanted to learn it but then I realised that I had to improve my English first in order to learn this beautiful language. So one day I'll do it for sure! Greetings to Wales from Mexico :)
Sorry for replying late😂 But I'm Welsh and I've learnt Spanish (had to learn for where I was living at the time). So I hope you enjoy learning our language as much I enjoyed learning yours.
I am Spanish. I can't understand a single word but I must admit that this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I can't stop listening once and again. Beautiful song, lovely voice.
I know what you mean. I'm Welsh but this song in (Khazak? Turken?) just has something to it even though I don't understand a word: ruclips.net/video/ATBNKmC_SG0/видео.html
Long live Wales! You seem such an interesting country with positive vibes, peaceful people and mesmerising landscapes! How I hanker to visit your country! Greeting from an ambitious 19-year-old Greek 🙂
It's extremely important that the Welsh keep this language alive because, along with Cornish, it is the only remnant of the dialect left on that island representing Brythonic Celtic. Welsh is older than even Old English. What is now England used to speak this language, too.
It’s a constant struggle when your next door neighbours England try to belittle it constantly and have done for centuries. Lucky enough tho Welsh is steadily increasing with the aim of 1 million fluent speakers in Wales by 2040.
It’s interesting that you say ‘even older than old English’. By comparison old English is a toddler. The English tried very hard to kill Welsh. My grandmother was punished in school for even thinking in her own language and that deep fear stayed with her all her life. Our secret conversations were always in Welsh but she remained scared, especially when we were educated through the medium of the Welsh language. Protecting languages and dialects is so important to resist any form of colonisation.
What I am reading here in the comments is mostly from those not informed about Wales and the welsh language. Do you honestly think we welsh wanted to lose our language? Should we feel guilty or embarassed because we from the South cannot speak it? We are even ignored by those up North if we should ask for anything in english...especially during the Llangollen Festivals...yes we get knocked by both sides and if only you all realised....we did not lose our language by sheer disinterest, no it was beaten out of us. Yes, kids at school were beaten and sent home to learn the english .......and who could teach them? nobody knew then any english, and the kids not allowed back in school until they could speak what those so called teachers demanded. The fact is now...The only perfect English is spoken by the Welsh, this was the outcome from the determination of those kids who wanted education and needed to be able to communicate. This then proves that even if the language could not be spoken in schools or in public, at home they still spoke Welsh...they never lost it...but forced to not use it and in time yes it did decline. The Welsh Language is the Oldest Language in Europe...and yes, I do wish i knew more about the origins
you are right jillian, most people don't know our history or how we were treated throughout it, or the systemic racism and oppression we have dealt with for centuries... but we're still here, so hold your head up lass and be proud... cymru am byth!
Don't let anyone make you feel bad! It is not the fault of Welsh people that they were colonized. That is a kind of violence that many different peoples were subjected to throughout human history. Your relationship with the language belongs to you and you may do with it or not as you wish.
@Owen Cradoc No its not. Welsh has been proven to be the oldest venaculiar language in Europe and has its origins in archaic Hebrew and Sanskrit. Welsh was old when Latin was thriving. The reason there arent any written records is because druidic doctrine and beliefs stated that language can be misused when in written form. They weren't illiterate as the English will have people believe. It was actually the other way around. Proof of this can be found in Latin influences on Welsh (wouldn't have occured unless they could read and write)....as the first universities in Britain were said to have been in South West Wales. From as early as the 3rd century, maybe even earlier. The very first university in britain was likely on Ynys Mon! And dated back as far as the 4th century BC!!!
@@bea2985 you are correct. Basque is estimated to be 500-1000 years older than the celtic languages. And welsh itself in it's current form is a relatively young language.
i have welsh heritage inside me i would love to see the country someday ....i am learning welsh and whenever i listen to this song i feel like the lyrics is calling me home .... love wales love cymraeg ....love live wales ..( i am brazilian )
I am an American, and I too have Welsh heritage. I speak English, learned some Spanish in high school and college, am learning Welsh now, and hope to learn Gaelic, German, the rest of Spanish, and maybe Scottish, Irish, Italian, Hebrew, and Portuguese if I get around to them. Maybe Latin too since I read and write a lot.
Oh, how I understand that! Any time I look at pictures (either online or from my father's travels) or listen to the music, I feel an almost-painful pull to go there myself. It's an odd sensation that ranges in intensity from a sad longing to a sense that I am missing a piece of myself and need to somehow reconnect.
@@craigwilliams9279 If you didn't already you really ought look up the word mentioned, hiraeth, it's the feeling your describing. Welsh is nice for taking a whole sentence of emotion into a single word :)
I'm part Welsh on my mum's side (and also French on her side, and Italian on my dad's) and I love Welsh so much. Your voice is beautiful and I have this on repeat.
+Bridie Cooper (Amalia Durante) Same except for the Italian. My mom is Welsh (gparents speak welsh n everything, have a house there) and my dad is from Belgium so I speak french with him.
I'm over 50% welsh yet I've never been taught anything about my culture and people. It was on the verge of being banned in my family.... I'm so sad about it
My dad was born here in Canada, but his father came from Llanidloes. I never got to meet him, but I feel a very strong urge to connect with the land, the language, and the music.
i started researching welsh culture for a character a year or two ago, and now i'm absolutely consumed by it. i've known my grandfather was welsh, but i never bothered to look that much into the culture. it's a beautiful country, and one that i've absolutely fallen in love with.
I am Welsh, living in Lincolnshire, I was at tesco in Grimsby before xmas and a checkout lady recognised my accent, we started speaking welsh and it was such a pleasure. Made our days.
This is truly beautiful and it touches my heart, making me relaxed and emotional in the same time. I discovered how Welsh language sounded through this song and it made me fall in love with it. Greetings from France.
so damn beautiful. love your culture, love your land and language! please please please, learn welsh, welshmen and remember your history. the native beauty of it all is just astonishing.
Apologies for replying to an old comment! There are literally thousands of options for the UK's Eurovision entry that would show the beauty of these islands' ancient languages and cultures... but the ones in charge aren't interested in that. so they pick the most distateful tripe they can in the hope they can squeeze a few record deals out of it...
It's a traditional Welsh folk tune written about a man watching his love do ordinary things and thinking about how amazing she is, and how much he loves her :D THen in the last verse, he wonders how to win her hand by writing a song.
Welsh is such a beautiful language, been almost completely spellbound by it since hearing this song, might have to learn it someday just to be able to speak such a beautiful language, warm greetings from Denmark.
I'm in love with this song since I heard it for the first time! (: Welsh language is very beautiful as well and I find it so adorable. ^.^ This wonderful folk song makes me feel like I would roam around in deep green forests surrounded by fairies and mythical creatures and peer up ancient castles! I would love to visit Wales once in my life! And your voice makes it sounds even more miraculous! Thank you for sharing! :) Greetings from Hungary! xXx

+Tiera Danheux The part that goes "Ffaldi radl idl al, ffaldi radl idl al, tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al" at the end of the verse doesn't mean anything. Between lines you also add a "Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al", which makes the song appear longer, but doesn't mean anything. They're just a glorified version of "la la la".
@@realkingofwales3917 I was in the absolute middle of nowhere Scotland once, in a pub, and there were two older men there talking in Scottish Gaelic. (i only know because i asked) I used to spend two weeks there every summer for holidays every year for maybe 18 years and even now i drive a truck so i'm up there fairly often, never once heard anyone else speaking it. I'm not even slightly Scottish but losing something that's lasted this long is sad
Thank you for sending the translation. I will try to learn it by heart. It is amazing how this ancient language managed to stay alive and vived during all those senturies of English domination. What is your secret? We, in Fryslân/Friesland, are jealous of you; we still struggle but are less successful as you are. Be proud of your rich culture!
Welsh isn't just the language of Wales. It's the modern incarnation of the original language of almost all Britain. Even English are mostly of Britonic descent. That's why it resonates so much with English speakers. There's something in my blood that reacts to it. Like hearing a long forgotten lullaby, not heard since the womb.
The word Welsh comes from old english/germanic meaning foreigner. Im not a celt that speaks german, im Anglo-Saxon with a Norman last name, but all kids in Britain should be exposed to all British languages in school
Welsh is such a musical language, one of the best places to hear Welsh singing was at Cardiff Arms Park, during a Wales v England rugby match, it would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
I'm so proud to be of Welsh descent. I have no idea what this song is about, but it's such a beautiful language and the melody is plaintively gorgeous.
Whenn i was young, i was thinking all welsh irish scottish people talking a diffrent type of english, they are all english people, i have pc football game and it has welsh language selection, when i choose it i couldnt chabge it back😂, i couldnt quit the game, its completly diffrent language, now with pc games movies etc , i am thinking welsh scottish and irish people are more.pure blood than english, they are the real owners of ısland
The Irish have had Political and Social backers in the US for almost a century, thats why. Wheras Wales hasn't because its hidden behind both England and Ireland. Go ask an American to name a Celtic nation, their answer will be Ireland, then ask them to name a British nation...they will look puzzled as they are only ever taught that England and Britain is the same thing. As it is in Korea, where they use the same word for England and Britain. The native British have well truly had their Culture stolen from them.

I am not Welsh but I am Lithuanian, and I think it's awful that Wales lost its beautiful language same with the traditional English and Scottish. Wales is a beautiful country and has a lovely language I am glad we have this great song to remember Wales. Love from, Lithuania
English is still used! English developed over time. Wheras Cymraeg almost went exstinct becasue of an aseerted effort by the English to wipe it out of Britain. The only native language of the island that is still used on a regular basis. Look up "The treachery of the blue books" or the "Welsh not"
... you know Wales as a country and the Welsh language still exists? It's alive and well. The language has changed a little over time, but all languages change given enough time. There are still a lot of people in Wales who are first language Welsh speakers, Many speak it as a second language, and most people in Wales at least know basic Welsh. It's a minority language, but don't cast it off dead when it's being spoken more and more
I am Polish and I have the highest respect for the nation of Lithuania, that survived with it's own language and culture, despite not having a country for like 300 years or so (1586-1918).
I wish I could see the perfect landscape of Wales, breathing this air and listening to such great music about a language I cannot understand, haha, would be my perfect living, thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Facts. Welsh is spoken by 27% of the population 650.000 people and don't forget the 250.000 people who speak Welsh who live in England and 11000 who live in Scotland so the Welsh language has in UK over 900.000 speakers and rising every year by 20.000. it is by no means over. Diolch yn fawr

A vision, lovingly crowned.
I will wait in her shade
Until my love comes to meet me.

There’s the delicate fair one, exquisite and full of life;
What nearer am I, without having her attention?

I was humiliated to be a Welsh girl because most people do not know of my country's existence and it, for some reason, embarrasses me. This song, as well as many others, however, makes me feel so proud to be Welsh because it's so beautiful and the language is so unique. It's hard to learn and pronounce and it makes me feel satisfied to know I can actually speak a language most cannot.
Never be ashamed of where you come from...I am Welsh, raised in America and would gladly trade spots with you whenever you are ready....the world has become fake and plastic and it sickens me....I long for the simple life....You are more blessed than you understand...You live in a magical place...It's a good thing so many do not know of Wales....retains her Magic that way....stay blessed
Be Welsh and proud. It is not your fault that others are so poorly educated.
WHAT? Who hasn't heard of Wales? 😆 I live In America and I know of the place for heaven's sake! Don't worry, you don't need to impress people who decide to judge you despite the fact that THEY don't know basic geography! Just wear it like a badge of honor. Wales is a beautiful country and old as they come. Don't hide, take pride.
You should be proud. It's a beautiful language. I'd like to speak it one day.
Stand proud, walk tall and educate people ❤️
Welsh Lyrics (geiriau):
Dacw 'nghariad i lawr yn y berllan,
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal
O na bawn i yno fy hunan,
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal
Dacw'r tŷ, a dacw'r 'sgubor;
Dacw ddrws y beudy'n agor.
Ffaldi radl didl dal, ffaldi radl didl dal,
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal.
Dacw’r dderwen wych ganghennog,
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal
Golwg arni sydd dra serchog.
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal
Mi arhosaf yn ei chysgod
Nes daw 'nghariad i 'ngyfarfod.
Ffaldi radl didl dal, ffaldi radl didl dal,
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal.
Dacw'r delyn, dacw'r tannau;
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal
Beth wyf gwell, heb neb i'w chwarae?
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal
Dacw'r feinwen hoenus fanwl;
Beth wyf well heb gael ei meddwl?
Ffaldi radl didl dal, ffaldi radl didl dal,
Tw rym di ro rym di radl didl dal.
Welsh is such a beautiful language and Wales a beautiful country. :)
Greetings from Germany!
+Highretrogamelord From a Welshman who lived in Germany for a while...right back at you my friend!
+Highretrogamelord You might want to take another look at Wales xD As a Welshman myself, like Joe, I say diolch yn fawr (thank you very much) to you my friend :)

The PROBLEM in the north is the campaign to drive any, and every-body who is not fluent in the language OUT of that part of the country. Ethnic cleansing based on a language which has no known use outside Wales.
In North Wales, hardly anyone speaks fluent Welsh. The main Welsh speakers live in the middle east and southern east.
I love how the Welsh people still have such a hold on their native tongue. Yes in some parts of Scotland and Ireland they still speak their native Gaelic, but nothing like Wales.
+Char Char Binks Exactly. Everyone in Wales speaks English, there is zero need for the Welsh language. Yet fluent Welsh speakers in Wales are rising to nearly 30%, growing each day. I'd say that's a pretty strong hold. Despite speaking English, still holding on to their heritage.

I agree with ya...Welsh and in general the gaellic people of Britain should keep this language alive.. it would be such a shame for a beautiful language like that belong only in history books...
Great song makes me proud to be an Irishman of Welsh descent. Éire go brách, Cymru am byth.
Iordáin Breathnach I’m the opposite a welsh man with Irish blood 👍🏼
WidePeepo7 nice one... lots of us Welsh or the Irish are belonging through our blood, also years ago they wanted my gran to go to America to have tests done on her because of her being o negative and I also got the same blood, but she did not go and all flights etc would have been payed for
A lot of Welsh came over with Strongbow during the Norman invasions. They eventually assimilated into Irish culture and the popular saying 'More Irish than the Irish themselves' came to be. One of the most popular Irish surnames Walsh come from Irish for Welsh man I believe.
Oh... also.. St Patrick was Cymraig......
Iordain, you'll be pleased to know that those two great welshmen, Patrick and David, both lived in a beehive cell ( at Ffynon Santes Mair - Saint Mary's well ) in my village of Llangyfelach, just north of Swansea. They had both trained in the great teaching monastery at Llancarfan, near Barry, and eventually moved West and North, with the end result of becoming the patron saints of the countries they were evangelising.
I'm Irish and I'm ashamed to admit that I have never heard Welsh folk music before.. I'm in awe of how incredibly beautiful this song is. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I'm English and believe it very, very important you keep the Welsh language alive. It's your heritage and you're right to be proud of it. Love this song. Beautifully preformed here. Well done indeed.
Problem with the Welsh language is people are very dismissive of learner's trying to use it unfortunately
If your forefathers were as enlightened as you sir... then we wouldn't have had to reclaim it...
@@StevanBarry Thank you Stevan. You're a gentleman. Love your country and I apologise for those of us who invade it, buy properties and only bother to live in them for 2 months a year. Something very wrong about that in my opinion.
Don't enjoy it when you beat us in rugby though....:-)
@@DavidA-ps1qr You have absolutely no need to apologise David... and yes the getting one over the bigger neighbour is always nice lol... Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Same I am English and my teacher was Welsh and when it was the harvest festival we used to sing this and all the teachers were English except my teacher they didn’t understand what we were saying pretty funny really
Found this about 5 years ago on some compilation... and STILL this is so so beautiful I can not describe it... maybe it is the voice, maybe the language or maybe how smooth it is, but it is wonderful just like lulubay. Thank You for it.
Strangely, I do not understand anything at all, but I can imagine angels singing like this.
That’s because they do
Welsh used to be called the language of heaven
@@jackieroberts7895 yes 🙌
The Welsh have given us the most beautiful language and music in all of human history. I hold more dearly to my Welsh heritage than to any other in my family history. Cymru am byth!
Greetings from Mongol. Celtic language, song, music always fascinated me.
Okay. Never expected to see a Mongol here! Nice to see you here! You also have a nice language, culture and history!
Some phonetic sounds in Welsh are similar to those in Mongol.
Same. I'm Lakota, and what caught my attention. Was Dacw, which pronounced (at least here). Sounds a lot like a Lakota word, which means "what is it?"
I also just like the song
you've got lovley music yourselves.
@@colleennewholy9026 Probably won't see this considering you commented 6 months ago. But anyways, dacw means 'over there is'.
My family used to be massive, 14 children to each couple, all living in tiny villages in the south of Wales, working in the mines mainly. Then, my great grandparents on both sides of my family moved to England, one side to London, the other to Kent. I was born and raised in England, but I've always felt a connection to Wales as my origin, as my home. My last fully Welsh relative died two weeks ago, we are playing Land of My Father's at his funeral in two days. I know longer have my living link to my Welsh homeland, but it will always be the land of my Father's, and songs like this keep the connection strong, and keep Wales beautiful and magical in my heart 💕
Do you visit Wales? If not i recomend it, it is lovely there.
Learn Welsh Elouise, your connection to your roots will grow stronger and you will feel better. It's like dusting off old memories, releasing old forgoten soul. Every one of us have this coded in our long DNA strand, we just need to uncode that (and not change this by any mRNA or other DNA manipulation under any circumstances - it has to be natural way if we don't want to be cutted from our ancestry, biological and evolutional wisdom and strenght and the most important - from our soul). Learn Welsh, unwind your ancestors memories, free your soul ❤✌
Welsh people, please do not let your unique language die. As a Turk, i really admire you people and your language. Your unique culture really seems out of a fantasy world. And i really wish i could speak that unique language one day. I hope you become clear of the Anglos day by day.
Fear not. Celtic languages in Britain and Ireland are being revived.
Also. A recent genome study found out that the old Myth that the Anglo Saxons of England wiped put the celts was actually untrue. Anglo Saxon DNA Actually makes up less than half of English DNA and as low as 10% in some areas.
So even In England, a majority of our ancestors would have spoken Celtic Brythonnic languages very similar to welsh
After living over 10 years in Wales as a Pole I started learning this language even if nearly nobody using it daily. I like to surprise my older neighbours everyday with new phrases I learn in their language and they seems to be very happy of it. Most of my english I learn I learn from older people who speak so clear. Compare to young people who speak like they keep hot noodle inside of mouth
You are not turk, you should revive the lydian language , you are giving other peoples advices but you forgot that your ancestors shifted from native Anatolian languages to greek and now Turkic, my friend
@@Kunta-Kinte002 you must be dumb as fuck mate. one of the worst opinions ive ever received. just LMAO
@@Sgt.chickens I totally agree with that! English people aren’t really Germanic by blood. Even with a Viking invasions. And that makes me glad. And that Cymreg is still alive.
I am American but of Welsh descent. My family left Wales when the mines shut down and then left the motherland to work in the mines of Wisconsin.
I am just starting to learn the language of my ancestors.

Cool.🤩
Perhaps we are related via work. My Grandfather’s Father was a Smith in those parts. Last name belt buckle makers. Someone needed to actually fetch the iron to make stuff. Seems yours was it. Nice.
proud to be welsh. proud to be part of a bold country that not only retains its roots but upholds them, makes them deeper and enriches them. we speak with voice and reason, always have and always will.
Amazing how this old version is still the best one. This was a golden moment in time. The back vocals are perfect against the song.
A beautiful song, rendered with the utmost simplicity and innocence. Not trying to show off, not trying to be extra cool. The song speaks for itself.
It's simply wonderful.
Just can't stop listenin' to this epic song... Love the sound of Welsh language. Even buying a pack of cigarettes sounds like casting spells in Welsh :) Greetings from Poland.
LOL
Welsh is basically elven
@@xeno1068 yea its what elven is based on
I know it sounds like elvish music (Lord of the rings).
I love this Song, I'm From Argentina and my GrandFather is Welsh. Blessings for the whole welsh people 💙🇦🇷
I am American, know nothing of Welsh at all, and I have never heard this song before. It just sounds magical.
What a beautiful and resonant language 🏴 I'm so happy it's now revived ❤️ I'm actually in love with indigenous civilizations, including the Celtic civilization 💓
Interesting. As an Algerian, do you feel the same about the Berber languages and think that Berber languages should be spoken instead of Arabic that originated far away?
I could play this song on repeat forever. What great voice and feeling it has in good times and bad times.
Hi William. I'm Canadian of British descent and I LOVE the welsh folksongs. As long as someone keeps this beautiful music alive your lovely language will NEVER die.
I'm Hispanic and I honestly have come to love Welsh so much. I currently know French the most fluently besides English, but along with Swedish, I really hope to become fluent in Welsh (and maybe the other Celtic languages too!). Diolch for this song. It is truly beautiful and what inspired me to start my studies.
By far the best version of Dacw Nghariad I've been able to find anywhere.
God that is an amazing voice.
Love from a Canadian!
cymru am byth (Wales forever)
ok sorry eh
I really like the Welsh language, I love how it sounds. I wanted to learn it but then I realised that I had to improve my English first in order to learn this beautiful language. So one day I'll do it for sure!
Greetings to Wales from Mexico :)
Diolch :) good luck, it's a very diffucult language.
Your English is great! Better than my Welsh and I live in Wales (although I'm desperately trying to learn)!!! 😅 Diolch (thank you)!
Sorry for replying late😂
But I'm Welsh and I've learnt Spanish (had to learn for where I was living at the time). So I hope you enjoy learning our language as much I enjoyed learning yours.
@@bellegriffiths5866 Spanish is much easier to learn as its a Phonic language
@@Gilligan47 Welsh is a phonic language as well (we say everything as it is spelt, nothing like English where every c in Pacific lol)
I will never get over how beautiful Welsh sounds ❤️
I have no idea what she is saying but it is beautiful. I love how we humans can love something just for its sound. Greetings from Brazil!
I am Spanish. I can't understand a single word but I must admit that this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I can't stop listening once and again. Beautiful song, lovely voice.
I know what you mean. I'm Welsh but this song in (Khazak? Turken?) just has something to it even though I don't understand a word: ruclips.net/video/ATBNKmC_SG0/видео.html
Languages like Welsh are special and unique, as such, so is this song.
Enchanting!
My first heard Welsh song and I still love it the most! Especially in this version. Always singing with you!
It was 10 years ago I heard this song. I thought it was the most beautiful song I'd ever heard. 10 years later nothing has changed
Whenever I feel down, sad, or upset; this song gives me the peaceful mind I need. If I ever have a secret garden, this is the song playing in it.
My father would sing this to me when I was small with a slightly different rhythm. Love it!
And to think the English force tried to kill this beautiful language and still make fun of Wales. Shame.
Long live Wales! You seem such an interesting country with positive vibes, peaceful people and mesmerising landscapes! How I hanker to visit your country! Greeting from an ambitious 19-year-old Greek 🙂
It's extremely important that the Welsh keep this language alive because, along with Cornish, it is the only remnant of the dialect left on that island representing Brythonic Celtic. Welsh is older than even Old English. What is now England used to speak this language, too.
It’s a constant struggle when your next door neighbours England try to belittle it constantly and have done for centuries. Lucky enough tho Welsh is steadily increasing with the aim of 1 million fluent speakers in Wales by 2040.
It’s interesting that you say ‘even older than old English’. By comparison old English is a toddler. The English tried very hard to kill Welsh. My grandmother was punished in school for even thinking in her own language and that deep fear stayed with her all her life. Our secret conversations were always in Welsh but she remained scared, especially when we were educated through the medium of the Welsh language. Protecting languages and dialects is so important to resist any form of colonisation.
@@alynwillams4297I love it and am keen to share with my English friends through song.
What I am reading here in the comments is mostly from those not informed about Wales and the welsh language. Do you honestly think we welsh wanted to lose our language? Should we feel guilty or embarassed because we from the South cannot speak it? We are even ignored by those up North if we should ask for anything in english...especially during the Llangollen Festivals...yes we get knocked by both sides and if only you all realised....we did not lose our language by sheer disinterest, no it was beaten out of us. Yes, kids at school were beaten and sent home to learn the english .......and who could teach them? nobody knew then any english, and the kids not allowed back in school until they could speak what those so called teachers demanded. The fact is now...The only perfect English is spoken by the Welsh, this was the outcome from the determination of those kids who wanted education and needed to be able to communicate. This then proves that even if the language could not be spoken in schools or in public, at home they still spoke Welsh...they never lost it...but forced to not use it and in time yes it did decline.
The Welsh Language is the Oldest Language in Europe...and yes, I do wish i knew more about the origins
you are right jillian, most people don't know our history or how we were treated throughout it, or the systemic racism and oppression we have dealt with for centuries... but we're still here, so hold your head up lass and be proud... cymru am byth!
Don't let anyone make you feel bad! It is not the fault of Welsh people that they were colonized. That is a kind of violence that many different peoples were subjected to throughout human history. Your relationship with the language belongs to you and you may do with it or not as you wish.
I think the Oldest Language in Europe is Basque Language
@Owen Cradoc No its not. Welsh has been proven to be the oldest venaculiar language in Europe and has its origins in archaic Hebrew and Sanskrit. Welsh was old when Latin was thriving. The reason there arent any written records is because druidic doctrine and beliefs stated that language can be misused when in written form. They weren't illiterate as the English will have people believe. It was actually the other way around. Proof of this can be found in Latin influences on Welsh (wouldn't have occured unless they could read and write)....as the first universities in Britain were said to have been in South West Wales. From as early as the 3rd century, maybe even earlier.
The very first university in britain was likely on Ynys Mon! And dated back as far as the 4th century BC!!!
@@bea2985 you are correct. Basque is estimated to be 500-1000 years older than the celtic languages. And welsh itself in it's current form is a relatively young language.
Not understanding a single word, but this is beautiful!! Greetings, from Italy!
welsh is such a fascinating language.
i have welsh heritage inside me i would love to see the country someday ....i am learning welsh and whenever i listen to this song i feel like the lyrics is calling me home .... love wales love cymraeg ....love live wales ..( i am brazilian )
we have a word here for that feeling, we call it hiraeth
I am an American, and I too have Welsh heritage. I speak English, learned some Spanish in high school and college, am learning Welsh now, and hope to learn Gaelic, German, the rest of Spanish, and maybe Scottish, Irish, Italian, Hebrew, and Portuguese if I get around to them. Maybe Latin too since I read and write a lot.
Oh, how I understand that! Any time I look at pictures (either online or from my father's travels) or listen to the music, I feel an almost-painful pull to go there myself. It's an odd sensation that ranges in intensity from a sad longing to a sense that I am missing a piece of myself and need to somehow reconnect.
@@craigwilliams9279 If you didn't already you really ought look up the word mentioned, hiraeth, it's the feeling your describing. Welsh is nice for taking a whole sentence of emotion into a single word :)
@@ChipsandPeas I just looked it up and it is, indeed, an appropriate word for what I feel.

+Bridie Cooper (Amalia Durante) Same except for the Italian. My mom is Welsh (gparents speak welsh n everything, have a house there) and my dad is from Belgium so I speak french with him.
I'm over 50% welsh yet I've never been taught anything about my culture and people. It was on the verge of being banned in my family.... I'm so sad about it
Learn your history and culture and pass it on to your children.
Feel free to ask!
My dad was born here in Canada, but his father came from Llanidloes. I never got to meet him, but I feel a very strong urge to connect with the land, the language, and the music.
i started researching welsh culture for a character a year or two ago, and now i'm absolutely consumed by it. i've known my grandfather was welsh, but i never bothered to look that much into the culture. it's a beautiful country, and one that i've absolutely fallen in love with.

Greetings from Germany.
I am Welsh, living in Lincolnshire, I was at tesco in Grimsby before xmas and a checkout lady recognised my accent, we started speaking welsh and it was such a pleasure. Made our days.
As an Irish man I can definitely say Irish could never sound so beautiful in a song Éire go brach, cymru am byth
I have a home in CÌll Rónáin. The Irish language is beautiful in its own way.
Welsh songs have such a beautiful rhythm
Welsh language singers should definitely be promoted more in the media. Maybe it would inspire more people to learn this beautiful language.
If liquid silver had a sound, it would be Welsh...such a lovely, lovely language!
This is truly beautiful and it touches my heart, making me relaxed and emotional in the same time. I discovered how Welsh language sounded through this song and it made me fall in love with it. Greetings from France.

Wonderful. xxx This should have been our entry for the Eurovision. which makes me ask WHY don't we take part in the Eurovision on our own, as Wales
Apologies for replying to an old comment!
There are literally thousands of options for the UK's Eurovision entry that would show the beauty of these islands' ancient languages and cultures... but the ones in charge aren't interested in that. so they pick the most distateful tripe they can in the hope they can squeeze a few record deals out of it...

Oh, how I wish I was there myself
There’s the house and there’s the barn
There’s the cowshed door open
There’s the great branchy oak
It’s got a pleasant look
I’ll wait in its shade
Until my love comes, my love comes
There’s the harp, there the strings
What am I with no one to play it?
There’s the lively, careful maiden
How much closer am I to winning her?

+Tiera Danheux The part that goes "Ffaldi radl idl al, ffaldi radl idl al, tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al" at the end of the verse doesn't mean anything. Between lines you also add a "Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al", which makes the song appear longer, but doesn't mean anything. They're just a glorified version of "la la la".
Marc O'C. thanks but I just wanted to know because I like singing along to it, not because I want to know what they're actually saying
Tiera Danheux I assumed so, but I just wanted to justify why they didn't write them in the first place ;)

It is really old. Its barely scraping by though unfortunately.

I am British and I have an English mother and a Welsh father and I'm learning Welsh. I believe in our land United together.
It's so great to hear people wanting to learn Welsh!!! Pob lwc
I'm of English and Welsh Ancestry aswell, but sorry. The UK is a disaster for Wales. And it won't exist in 100 years if it doesn't become independent.
Welsh isn't just the language of Wales. It's the modern incarnation of the original language of almost all Britain. Even English are mostly of Britonic descent. That's why it resonates so much with English speakers. There's something in my blood that reacts to it. Like hearing a long forgotten lullaby, not heard since the womb.
Welsh should be taught in English schools. It’s the language of Britain.
The word Welsh comes from old english/germanic meaning foreigner.
Im not a celt that speaks german, im Anglo-Saxon with a Norman last name, but all kids in Britain should be exposed to all British languages in school
@Lee Kenyon they try hard enough
Big love to my Welsh ancestors. Will return soon
Welsh is such a musical language, one of the best places to hear Welsh singing was at Cardiff Arms Park, during a Wales v England rugby match, it would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Nothing more stirring !
I'm so proud to be of Welsh descent. I have no idea what this song is about, but it's such a beautiful language and the melody is plaintively gorgeous.

This is beautiful. She has a lovely voice. It has always amazed me as to why traditional Welsh music doesn't seem to be as popular as the Irish music.
The Irish have had Political and Social backers in the US for almost a century, thats why. Wheras Wales hasn't because its hidden behind both England and Ireland. Go ask an American to name a Celtic nation, their answer will be Ireland, then ask them to name a British nation...they will look puzzled as they are only ever taught that England and Britain is the same thing. As it is in Korea, where they use the same word for England and Britain. The native British have well truly had their Culture stolen from them.

+Char Char Binks PFFFT. Your English is the worst. You are an embarrassment to yourself.

the most beautiful song ive ever heard
Dacw nghariad lawr yn y berllan
Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al
O na bawn i yno fy hunan
Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al
Dacw’r ty a dacw’r sgubor
Dacw’r ddrws y beudy’n agor
Ffaldi radl idl al
Ffaldi radl idl al
Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al
Dacw’r dderwen wych ganghennog
Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al
Golwg arni sydd dra serchog
Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al
Mi arhosaf dan ei chysgod
Nes daw ‘nghariad, daw fy nghariad
Ffaldi radl idl al
Ffaldi radl idl al
Tw rymdi rô rymdi radl idl al
🙏🙏🙏
thanks
I am not Welsh but I am Lithuanian, and I think it's awful that Wales lost its beautiful language same with the traditional English and Scottish.
Wales is a beautiful country and has a lovely language I am glad we have this great song to remember Wales.
Love from,
Lithuania
English is still used! English developed over time. Wheras Cymraeg almost went exstinct becasue of an aseerted effort by the English to wipe it out of Britain. The only native language of the island that is still used on a regular basis.
Look up "The treachery of the blue books" or the "Welsh not"
... you know Wales as a country and the Welsh language still exists? It's alive and well. The language has changed a little over time, but all languages change given enough time. There are still a lot of people in Wales who are first language Welsh speakers, Many speak it as a second language, and most people in Wales at least know basic Welsh. It's a minority language, but don't cast it off dead when it's being spoken more and more
I am Polish and I have the highest respect for the nation of Lithuania, that survived with it's own language and culture, despite not having a country for like 300 years or so (1586-1918).
i love the voice, the melody and everything about it , i wish i learn this language soon or later
What a beautiful song!! Congratulations, dear! Welsh language is still alive!!!
Her voice....Magic
Considering welsh people, I assume this to myself at least, have amazing and beautiful singing voices
Welsh is beautiful. I have much respect for my Celtic neighbours
