Geiriau | Lyrics
Dwyt ti'm yn cofio Macsen?
Does neb yn ei nabod o.
Mae mil a chwe chant o flynyddoedd
Yn amser rhy hir i'r cof
Ond aeth Magnus Maximus o Gymru
Yn y flwyddyn tri-chant-wyth-tri,
A'n gadael yn genedl gyfan
A heddiw, wele ni!
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Chwythed y gwynt o'r dwyrain.
Rhued y storm o'r môr.
Hollted y mellt yr wybren,
A gwaedded y daran encor.
Llifed ddagrau'r gwangalon,
A llyfed y taeog y llawr.
Er dued y fagddu o'n cwmpas
Ry'n ni'n barod am doriad y wawr!
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Cofiwn i Facsen Wledig
Adael ein gwlad yn un darn,
A bloeddiwn gerbron y gwledydd
Byddwn yma hyd Ddydd y Farn!
Er gwaetha pob Dic Sion Dafydd,
Er gwaetha y gelyn a'i griw,
Byddwn yma hyd ddiwedd amser
A bydd yr iaith Gymraeg yn fyw!
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Ry'n ni yma o hyd;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth;
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.

"Despite England's might, we're alive!" Cymru Am Byth!
Love from North Kurdistan. This is the first time I will support a team in the world cup🥰 C’mon Cymru 🏴
Thank you for your support my friend, DIOLCH. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND. ✌️✌️✌️😎😎😎🏴🏴🏴
Keep fighting against Turkey for your freedom!
Nice One Diolch 😀
You are a legend, mate
Diolch 🏴
As an English man- love it - great to see the Welsh people regaining their language and their culture - immense
And nobody sings it like the Welsh- IMMENSE
I’m with you on this Andy 100%
I’m an English girl living in Wales, married to a Welshman, & 3 kids in Welsh medium schools. The language is so beautiful & very patriotic.
It’s great to see other fellow English people getting behind the country & their history too 🏴🏴🇬🇧
Ac felly dylech fod wedi, cofiwch ein bod yn eich grŵp
Thanks Andy. I was brought up in S Wales after the 2nd WW and for some reason we still had a problem with the English. I now live in the US after escaping the lousy weather etc. But I do appreciate the fact that the English and Welsh have sensibly got together. We have the World Cup match-ups to come! Good luck.
@@IorrieP The Welsh language sounds very similar to the Breton language, which is a Celtic language spoken only in Brittany (northwest of France). Populations are in fact linked in Europe when the geographical distance is small. A question, why the English and French have invaded many neighbors' population?
@@IorrieP - agree with 99% of your post - but lousy weather , thing of the past mate , its a myth
No hurricanes , no tornadoes, no earthquakes , no bush fires , not much flooding - milder winters now
Generally very acceptable - on for 30c this week 🤣👍
When you actually learn Welsh history, this song will make you cry, knowing despite what they have been through, they still stand tall in the 21st century, much like my own homeland. Amazing History, Amazing Country, love to Wales from Macedonia. Very Inspiring.
Serbia as well!!
Was lucky enough to have visited your country last year. What a beautiful country, lake Ohrid blew my mind 🏴🇲🇰
@@OwenRhodri Thank you sir. It is very old land and we try to preserve it best we can.
Exactly
Thank you mate. Wales will give 100 % ..They will serve this beautiful country with all their hearts..
From Gruffyd ap Cynan:
For those interested in the meaning of this song, there are multiple layers to it. Here is a full analysis and explanation of the lyrics:
- Macsen Wledig is the Welsh/Brythonic name for Magnus Maximus, a Roman General who was assigned to Britannia and who usurped much of the Roman Empire using Celtic British troops. His significance to Welsh history is that he was considered the ancestor of several Welsh dynasties, was said to have married a British Celtic woman, and is believed to have created a sense of independent Celtic British identity after he diminished the Roman presence in Britannia in 383. Some Welsh historians argued that this was the origin of Welsh as a distinctive, unified, and independent identity as the British Celtic ethnonym (Britons) became the Welsh ethnonym (or Cymry in Welsh).
- The lyrics in the chorus then reference an event that is said to have occurred 800 years later when Henry II, King of England and ruler of the mighty Angevin Empire (spanning from southern Scotland to the south of France), was seeking to impose his lordship over the troublesome Welsh kingdoms. As he was travelling through Wales with his army, he came across an old Welshman on the roadside who, despite being a frail peasant, stood up to the invading king. He prophesied that no matter what Henry achieved in his campaigns, on Judgement Day the Welsh would still be standing proud in this land and their ancient language would live on (this tale is also referenced in the third and final verse of the song). A few years later, in 1165, Henry II was driven out of Wales by a coalition of Welsh kings aided by difficult weather conditions and never succeeded in bringing their kingdoms into his expansive empire.
- The second verse references the invasions of the Welsh during the Dark Ages: the howling wind from the east (the Anglo-Saxon / English invasions) and the roaring storm from the sea (Irish and Viking raids). Notable heroic figures are mentioned in literature as rising up against these threats, some more historically accounted for than others. These include Cunedda who led the Britons to defeat the Irish settlers in North Wales, Urien Rheged who kept the Picts at bay and fought the Angles, Cadwallon who defeated the Anglo-Saxons of Northumbria at Hatfield Chase, and Rhodri the Great who developed a large navy to defeat the Danes. Most famous of these is Arthur who is likely a later literary invention based on several historical and semi-mythical figures who fought against the invaders of the Welsh/Brythonic kingdoms - the first source to mention Arthur is Welsh, likely long before he was adopted by French and English literature. The song references the hardship of this period as the tears of the weak-hearted flowed and somewhat mocks the servile who betrayed their own people. Like elsewhere in the song, these are intended to be parallels between these distant eras and present struggles for maintaining Welsh identity and heritage. It concludes that, despite these difficulties, the struggle will continue until things improve with the break of dawn.
- The final verse is the one that most clearly associated these past events with the current political environment as it calls for unity and pride: to remember the past and bellow before the nations that, as the old man told Henry II, the Welsh will be here until judgement day despite any attempt to extinguish their identity by expansionist forces. The song references Dic Siôn Dafydd (sort of the Welsh version of an Uncle Tom) - a Welshman satirised in a poem from the year 1800 by John Jones who mocks a Welshman who abandons his heritage to pursue a shallow version of English culture due to having internalised prejudices. In spite of such people existing today (those who spurn their Welsh heritage and become culturally impoverished as a result), and in spite of Margaret Thatcher and her supporters who destroyed communities in Wales with mine closures while failing to invest in alternative industries; and who also tried to prevent a Welsh language TV channel from being established (until Welsh politician Gwynfor Evans went on hunger strike to prevent this), the song concludes that the Welsh and their language will be alive at the end of time.
So, in short, the song ties together various historical references and moments that mirror each other and inspire us and are relevant to us in the present: to unite and preserve the linguistic, cultural, and political heritage of Wales against assimilationist forces that seek only to destroy and dominate, and to celebrate its longevity despite multiple attempts to undermine it. It's a nationalistic Welsh tune, but these are themes that ring true for small cultures and nations all over the world.

As a Dane, who have lived in your fantastic land, i understand your passion and love for your country. It makes me feel alive hearing this beautifull song and longing to go back.

Lived in Wales for six years greatest bunch of people I ever met. Proud of their country and their heritage. 👍

Got the shivers...As a Hungarian I completely get the meaning and the feeling. And a great song.
Bro, you left your home of Mongolia a long time ago..
quite ironic considering the history of magyarization...
As a Welshman in the Czech Republic, thanks Dafydd for such a moving and soulful song. Also thanks to everyone near and far who have written such heartfelt comments below.
From your Celtic brothers and sisters across the Irish Sea, keep up the traditional Welsh language and all our ancient languages and traditions must survive and flourish. Tiocfaidh Ar La 🇮🇪 🏴
Diolch ar ffawr my celtic friend I my grandad was Irish and he always used to say the Welsh and the Irish are brothers our Saint David was Irish and your Saint paddy was welsh the Welsh are the Irish who never learnt to swim so we got stuck with the English lol
I really am a welsh national, hearing this call each time sends tears down my face, it’s a calling for all those Welsh to believe and hope. To NEVER FORGET. I think the Celtic nations should rise and unite. Iechud dda, o Gymru 🏴🇮🇪🏴
Ni Yma o hyd…🏴🏴🇮🇪
I searched words in breton for " yma o hyd"
I have found " amañ d'ho hed".
I'm a proud Manxman and Goidelic Celt with a Welsh-speaking girlfriend. She has taught me a lot about the Welsh history and I have educated her on the history of the Isle of Man. This song has Welsh passion in abundance. Wales, Ireland and Scotland are my close neighbours and friends. I am not a football fan but I would love to see Wales do very well. Graih as Aigh Vie voish Ellan Vannin!!
A Manx man born ,interesting I'll have a look in 2 da man ,have y seen da wheel ,look up
Do have a look into Breton culture, music etc too. Another fantastic Celtic region. There's some superb music in Brittany. (Said as an Englishman [with Irish and Scottish ancestry] who loves the Celtic nations ! )
Diolch god loves you mate
I’m Puerto Rican and this song is beautiful and touches my heart and soul you should be proud that you are still here
Oh what wonderful memories I have from my visit to San Juan and Roosevelt Roads
diolch
Sadly money talks and much of my home country has been bought by the English.
That sent shivers down this Irish man's spine,just brilliant.
I'm Brazilian and I love this song! It expresses all the patriotism of the Welsh! Amazing! 🇧🇷🏴🤝🏼
It’s more than that. It’s a song of survival. We have been on the island of Britain for thousands of years. Where as the English are Germanic invaders.
What a great advert for the country, culture, language and people!
Those 2 blokes enjoying the hell out of the song with ales in hand makes me smile every time I watch this video.

Honestly, I was just interested with the song Welsh team singed during the celebration of world cup qualified, and I just find this song. It's really a good song and show your proud of your nation.
‘Despite Englands mite, we are still here’. You are bloody right, we are, we Welsh, Scots and Irish. Wales, stand up to the bullies and land grabbers.
Why does everyone forget the Cornish 😢
@@titterofwit Apologies, include Cornish as well.
Soz, but the Scots were enthusiastic empire builders, too, back in the day. And I say that as someone who is half Scottish.
@@skatergirlskatergirl2486 And so?? Forget Empire building, pursue independence. Has England along with Scots not done enough damage with their empire building. The Empire is history but crumbling.
@@seanmcgurk6496 You put Scotland in the list of victims of English "might", and failed to point out Scotland was an enthusiastic imperialistic aggressor back in the day. The British empire crumbled decades ago, as you well know. As someone who is far more Scottish and Irish than English it pains me to see Scots try to airbrush their own wrongdoing. Honesty is important.

I think there are schools in Scotland where they are teaching students Doric. I know it's not Celtic but its the language my great grandparents had. After a few minutes I can get a rough guess what people are talking about but I wish I could learn it.
@@ericgeddes3353 I'm part of the Low Saxon minority in the Netherlands. We lack recognition as well. There is not even a standard for the Dutch Low Saxon language. For now we are safe, but the amount of Low Saxon speakers is about to be split in half. The Dutch government only cares about the gas that's under beneath our feet. You might have heard of Frisian, but the world barely knows or cares about Low Saxon I am glad that I am able speak Drents. But I don't speak the language perfect. I'm also afraid to do so, because if I'm in the open, and especially outside Drenthe, I can't speak the language.

@@richardyoung7415 not Celtic
@@Penddraig7 what do you mean not CELTIC.
@@richardyoung7415 the way Celtic is used today is false, it was made up in the 17th Century as a way to oppress the Welsh and discredit the real British history so they could rewrite British history.
Even in the proper original meaning of the term Celtic, the Welsh were not “Celtic” Celtic is not a race or ethnicity, Celts didn’t have their own specific language. Celt simply meant someone who lived in woods/forest, amongst the trees.
The “Welsh” were mostly Gâl/Gwâl, being people who lived in the open and farmed the land and built houses in the open etc. which is why the French call Wales, Pays de Galles, meaning land of the Galles.
The Welsh are and were not a single group of ethnic peoples, if fact, the north and south peoples were vastly different, more different then say those of Kent in south east England from the Scots in Scotland.
They appreciated the word Celt to use it as a derogatory word to basically say that the Welsh were unsophisticated, unintelligent, tree dwellers and now people use it freely like a badge of honour to be a Celt, not understanding that it’s meant as an insult because they have been indoctrinated to believe they are Celt.
From an Englishmen, this is a beautiful song. Loved it since my Welsh mate showed it to me and I'm very glad I've found a translation. Even though we've had our differences. (Our shitty governments) Love your language and your country. Wish I could visit more
@@kostas0352 let it happen. Same with Ireland and Scotland. Most of us hate the government. I'd rather move than be stuck here.
@@Carr1onF3ast Please visit anytime, You're a star!
@@anachronism45 u dont know?
Brilliant I am English but I’d ride into battle to that song…👏👏👏👏
Love and respect from, West Bengal, India ,
Wales will definitely win the match on November 29th
I am from Germany, but i love the Welsh People and their language, because it is celtic. 2200 years ago, my ancestors were also Celtic....Their name was " Eburonen "
This and the Welsh national anthem give this Yorkshire man goose bumps. In stark contrast to the drab and narcissistic "british" national anthem, all about one person and subjegation to that one person.
as a Indonesian, i really love this song. such a beautiful language
It's incredible that Wales still exists, sitting as it does next to the most aggressive culture, and dominating language on the planet.
When the Romans left in the 5th Century the Romano British Celts were at the mercy of wave upon wave of English invasions. The genocide and slaughter was immense. However, it took the English from 480 until 1410 to finally crush them....and still they, and the Welsh language survive.
Quite, quite incredible!
I really hope we have him singing in the next home game. I'm going to make it my mission to watch him sing this live. I've always been a rugby player but the passion that they sing this song with is amazing🏴❤️🏴
I’m learning this this Welsh.. I’m English and I don’t speak Welsh, but I have some Great Welsh Friends…. So I’m determined to learn it.
Christ on a bike - I want to learn the Welsh language - such pride such passion - I am so glad you are still there
Cheers mate 🏴
Oh how Wales and many of the world wait in anxiety for the Wales supporters to sing Yma o Hyd with all the pride and power they can display at the Wales games of the World Cup in Qatar. And how it will lift the Wales players of that I am sure. Wouldn't it be so good to see this video played at the venue pre matches. Especially when playing the USA where so many of their country will be watching.
Incredible! Every time I hear it it gets better. The atmosphere in the stadium after the Ukraine game must have been phenomenal when they were belting this out!!!!
It was it was bouncing for about half hour after the game and the city was afterwards
@@rhys1441 I really need to go to a Wales game!
@@Strebor1937 You'll be welcome and have a great time (and get very drunk!).
I adore this song. Long live to Wales
I'm English but damn this is a powerful song. Love it!
The word glorious is the only word I think appropriate for the moment this captured. So heartfelt. So moving.
The defiance especially.
You could feel it. Touch it. Cut it.
A well put together video.
Sung With Passion / Pride And From The Heart.
Come On Wales!!!.
Parch mawr i'r Cymry o Belarus!
Слухаю гэтую песьню і слёзы на вочы накатваюцца! Якая ў вас прыгожая мова! Жадаю вам хутчэй пазбавіцца ад Англійскіх акупантаў і стаць вольнымі! Малю Бога за ўсе кельцкія народы! 🙏
Cymru Am byth! Жыве Беларусь!
Diolch cariad

As a Mancunian who grew up in Devon and now live in France, Wales always has a special place in my heart from one trip to Swansea. What a great bunch of people you are. Patriotic, humble, funny and passionate. If it was possible to be Nationalistically adopted Id be on the waiting list.
You have all love and respect from Croatia
Superb. Proud to be Welsh!
The welsh people are a very proud Nation. My respect
Got cancer last July, when I am one year cancer free I am getting Yma o Hyd tattooed on my right arm, god bless Wales from Ireland .

Diolch .. Shkeran .. Thank You
as a scotsman the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up.regain your independence, ,,scotland is with you .WE dont need westmonster!!.
My grandmother was Scotch/Irish. She told me the family in Scotland is done, and to never go there. I wonder why sometimes. But I also think it would be a bad idea to find out.
Us English don’t need those treacherous , corrupt , biased monsters either . God knows it’s a very sad , worrying time for us all …pob lwc i in gyd
Oh dear now u r going to start hatrid.
Wales is as free as any part of the UK .I hope there politicians are better than ours in northern Ireland and yours in Scotland

Quite the most magnificent FREEDOM SONG🎵🎵 God Bless Dafydd Iwan and CYMRU from your fellow Celtic Freedom Fighters from IRELAND 😉
Keep coming back to listen to this brilliant tune
Dafydd Iwan has inspired a movement! And we will achieve it. Hopefully while he is still with us as well, but even if not, he can sit back knowing that we won't rest until Wales has its rightful independence. Yma o hyd! We are still here!
From a Scotsman - Absolutely get it up the English. Mon the Welsh x
The Welsh choir should have sung this song to Her Majesty for her birthday celebration...
@@allisonshaw9341 can,nt understand why they had DIANE ROSS to finish the party when they should have had SIR TOM JONES AND THE STEREOPHONICS, they would have killed it . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S. ✌️✌️✌️😎😎😎🏴🏴🏴

This powerful song, the chorus at least, should be translated into all the Celtic languages (Breton, Cornish, Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx) It is an anthem for the all the Celtic languages and cultures!
Yes sir 🇮🇪❤️
I would add that it's an anthem to all of the minority cultures and languages worldwide fighting to survive.
I think you forgot two nations in spain..
