Dafydd Iwan a'r Holl Artistiaid - Yma o Hyd 

I hear you had a similar struggle in Finland to reclaim your language, and Finlandia has been translated into Welsh as a second national anthem. We are always so thankful for solidarity. Marianne

@@rogerdavies8586 we'd no doubt be speaking Russian without the independence in 1917 and the battles of WWII

Might interest you to know that Tolkien was so enamoured with Welsh and Finnish, that a mix of the two was the inspiration for Elvish, in Lord Of The Rings

I'm a Llanelli lad (Yma o hyd!), and lived in Finland for over 20 years. Opin puhumaan suomea aika sujuvasti! I love that language, too. But Welsh is dearest to my heart. My children live in Finland, and they listen to this song on a regular basis to keep up the hwyl in their blood.

@@Connor_JR Almost correct. Tolkien used Finnish as the basis for Quenya (High Elvish) and Welsh for Sindarin (Middle-Earth Elvish). These were his two favourite languages, with Welsh being numero uno.

Keep Strong and at tough times listen to this and think of all of us wishing you well.

Celtica's long gone though, and its arguable that our origins are Iberian rather than from Alpine Celts

Pleased to find that you have good memories of Wales, and truly hope that your health will return and that you will be well enough to enjoy future visits to Wales, but most of all that you will manage to cope and to feel comfortable and safe.

Do you mean machynlleth?

Well, that's pretty much what the song is about. The chorus translates to many repeating of the statement, "Despite everyone and everything, we're still here!"

Великолепная песня. Великолепный язык. Долгой жизни всем кельтам.

Yeah, fighting for their soverignty and language.

@Welshwazza Not really, if you knew anything you'd actually know the Ukrainians are refusing Independence to the people of Luhansk who no longer wish to be part.of Ukraine, if yiu think about it Putin is the liberator really

Отец-основатель Максен - Кто помнит теперь его? С тех пор эпохи промчались, А с ними много всего: Потери и приобретенья И пораженья, и честь, Хранило нас Провиденье - Ведь мы у себя есть. И мы всё ещё здесь, Да, мы всё ещё здесь! И здесь на века пребудем, - Слышите, добрые люди? Слышите, добрые люди? Мы всё ещё здесь!

This song makes me feel that I’m in Wales again. I am so proud to be Welsh.❤

Its better in my view than ‘Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’

Equal .

Same

Hiraeth…

Your name is the most Scottish name I ever heard of.

Your language as well if you are from Ystrad clud, strathclyde!

Come on Ireland and Scotland!learn our native celtic languages!

@@alanthomas2064 I am from north of the Tay Alan so I am Pictish mixed with Scot Gael. The Picts spoke an ancient brythonic language so I have Welsh & Scottish Gaelic (Galik) in my veins & ancestry. The mountain just to the north of my home town Pitlochry Highland Perthshire is called Ben y Vrackie, therefore, we can see the Welsh/Gael mixture in that name.

They should have sung it to the queen for her birthday as a right good send up before going for independence.

Wales v Austria in the 2022 Qualy match is good enough for me!

It is taught in the welsh medium schools,my grandchildren know it

It’s a lovely song, but it’s a nationalist song, not everyone is a nationalist in Cymru. Plus, mae hen wlad fy nhadau is one of the best songs ever written, without a doubt. It’s be hard to replace that as a national anthem now.

You have chosen a difficult topic! I'm surprised you are doing something so advanced. I am Welsh first language, live in Wales, if I can help get in touch. Where in Russia do you live? I am PhD, my wife is Russian.

I live 20km from Dafydd Iwan, ia, wir, Cymru am byth!!

That’s quite a thesis Anastasia, I hope I get the chance to read it one day. Best of luck to you.

Diolch Anastasia

Just found words to this song. It definitely gives you goosebumps that's from an englishman

sadly still England's client tribe

Come on and move your ass : learn your f... local language. I am breton and I ve done it

Get yourself to SaySomethingInWelsh and you won't be rubbish at the old Cymraeg much longer! :)

My Grandfather was a Powell, his family were Welsh, one of my ancestors was the bastard son of the Earl of Pembroke. I feel more Welsh than English.

Indeed .. we are still here NYC!

No Mae Hen Gwlad Fyn Hadau is the anthem and glorious it is too. This is Wales's Land of Hope and Glory and Down Right Bloody Miindedness too!

@@JohnThreeSixteen918 many opera singers don't understand the languages they sing either.. "You don't remember Macsen Dwyt ti'm yn cofio Macsen Nobody knows him Does neb yn ei nabod o A thousand and six hundred years Mae mil a chwe chant o flynyddoedd Too long to go Yn amser rhy hir I'r co' When Magnus Maximus left Wales Pan aeth Magnus Maximus o Gymru In the year three-hundred-eight-three Yn y flwyddyn tri-chant-wyth-tri And leaving is a whole nation A'n gadael yn genedl gyfan And today: behold!

We sung it on the field when I was part of the choir (first verse only tho). It's a bit political so I think it divides opinions!

Us welsh football supports sing it most of the time so not sure what your on about and I'm sure the rugby fans so aswell🤔
