God bless you brother 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You still call us sheepshagers and belittle us when your with your English mates though, I dont care if you support Wales. Its respect you should give us

I'm the same, I live abroad but when I hear the anthem I am in tears and my children as they have a welsh mam know they are welsh not dutch and are very proud to be so.............

All I can say is get yourself to a game and witness it first hand! It is THE best anthem in the world… period!

I'm a proud Welsh woman and our anthem has me in tears every time, Cymru Am Byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Your not biased mate ,Ask any Welshman

@@shaun30-3-mg9zsyou know it 🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm English and completely agree 👍🏻

Proud to be Welsh

The Yorkshire anthem is about being up on the moor without a hat

The British Anthem is a prayer - no mention of subservience. What would be your reaction if the English banged on about nationalistic sentiments?

Aye you get goosebumps and then call us sheepshagers.the english are absolute idiots, youd join in the sheepshagger talk too

@@gordonsmith8899 So the king is gracious? He's a member of the WEF, a multi-billionaire group of eugenicists with a genocidal agenda, and stands accused (not entirely without evidence) of having his first wife murdered. And, in that dirge, what was that about slaying a load of Scots?

"Welsh is taught in every school in Wales" is it? I was born in Wales 40+ years ago, my parents moved to Australia in the very early 80's. My dad speaks perfect Welsh.. my mum not a word!! they grew up 5 mins walk from each other. I guess things have changed (for the better) because my mum say's she was never taught Welsh. I was 2 when I got to Aust.. and I speak more Welsh than her LOL.. yaki dah

@@hugh_mungus0184 not sure how it used to be but it is now as it’s a required gcse

The Welsh language act of 93 made it so everyone learns Welsh throughout the entirety of your schooling. Prior to that it was different but I learnt Welsh all the way through school and so does everyone else born after that date✌

Unfortunately not true. There are many private schools that avoid Welsh altogether. Secondary schools have offer Welsh as a subject, but in some areas you'd be hard pushed to hear it.

There are private schools but there are also welsh schools that speak welsh as their first language in every class

I'll second that

I know what you mean

Welsh here, I seen a documentary of sorts. Apparently in like early 1900s Wales, Ireland and Scotland song writers came up with these songs and were adopted as our national anthems. And apperently no one from England did (maybe because the Queen or king now our your actually queen and king) we respect them in Wales but was queen of England and be king of England. Not Wales, not Scotland or Ireland. I mean Wales ain't even represented in national or UK flag.

Jerusalem is England's true national anthem in my opinion.

There is no English national anthem so the English are made to sing the UK national anthem which makes no sense because it is also an anthem representing the Welsh. It's a joke played on the English every time they play a home nation.

@@carysdavies4696 Quite right that why I'm not British I'm Welsh It's White Red Green for me

My flag is at the top of my stairs. ,87% Welsh, 9% Devon /Cornwall. 4% Scots.

@@iriscollins7583 96% Welsh/British NOT English

That would be my dream - to lead the singing of the anthem in the Principality Stadium in Cardiff (where I was born and grew up - still in Wales but not in Cardiff)!

Great to hear you preserve your history and language thanks

I loved Welsh in school but couldn't take it for my A levels so did something else instead and now I've lost most of it - my Irish husband speaks it better than me!

sadly, many were stopped, my late Mother for one. She would turn 99 at the end of August had she lived...she made 79. She was born and brought up in Merthyr Tydfil South Wales. Preschool she spoke Welsh in the family. However, on going to school, the authorities wanted to stamp it out.. So this was, in her case, around 1929/30. One day she lapsed into Welsh speaking, after all, her native language and was roundly bit for it across her hands with a ruler. Her Father, A WWI decorated veteran was outrages and went down the school but was told the policy was no Welsh to be spoken.. they were ethnically cleansing the language. I was born and bred in England but have strong family links and am in daily touch almost with my cousins and one remaining uncle. None of my Mother's younger siblings spoke Welsh, even the old people,she said, her grandparents, stopped routinely speaking it in front of the little ones as teachers caned and smacked them for it. She did recall her Grannie, lol, and her friends, sitting around kitchen tables when she was little discussing things and whenever they got to a 'juicy' topic.. say someone's husband a drinker.. or violent.. or a baby out of wedlock, deemed highly unsuitable for the ears of the young they would discuss it in Welsh..by then none of the children could speak it. I get upset thinking about how those babies were physically punished, for speaking their native language, as if it were second class. Awful. I also recall the push to bring back the language in all schools.. the change of road signs and signs of official bodies and buildings being also in Welsh and wasn;t there a requirement for police etc. to speak Welsh as well as English?. It took a big concerted effort. One of my cousins daughters is an accomplished academic.. she has a Doctorate and she did Welsh Studies, Welsh language and I think French at one of the most prestigious colleges at Oxford. i think her fluency and academic study of the language and culture has closed the circle of what happened to her Grandfather's generation. My Mothers older brother, born in 1920, sent his son in the 60s to an all Welsh speaking school. All his lessons were taught in the language. He has thrived and has held many good positions in big institutions and organisations in Wales. to think those two peoples' grandparents were hit by teachers for speaking it.

😂

Could be worse, could be trying to pronounce: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerwchwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch 🤣

I love the Irish and Scottish national anthems and I do love a good rugby game with Scotland and Ireland its the Celts in us

As a Scot and a Celt, Abide with me is so hard to beat but we're succeeding, and I welcome the succession however hard that may prove! Every generation builds of the predecessor's shoulders...lets not stand still, but go forward!

I hope it does carry on!!

I think it's because we haven't been treated too well by some people and still get snide remarks about our passion for Wales.

too right we still speak welsh.... ir hen iaith parhau!!

The area is Patagonia in Argentina. Not funny at all, a Welsh community settled there, and the language still thrives. Argentinian kids fluent in Welsh.

​@@philjones45 Alrighty then, the story to why they settled there is funny. Maybe you should brush up on your history (ill give you a head start, 1865). Im welsh born, welsh educated, welsh speaking, so dont think im bashing wales - im also fully aware of where it is as i have visited Y wladfa, Patagonia myself. calm down kiddo

It is spoken in Patagonia, taken there by welsh migrants and still spoken as their first language. Quite a lot if people in Pennsylvania speak Welsh and watch Wales plsy rugby via large satellite dishes.

Love it

Haha awesome

Love this comment, and no matter how many times I hear it, I get this lump in my throat and become overwhelmed with emotion.

My brain is always trying to decide whether to sing or cry. I’m not particularly ‘patriotic’ in my every day life but this song makes my heart feel funny.

I find the hand over the heart business very affected and pretentious. As well as many people have a strange Idea of where, the heart is situated, in the human body.

Another good video, I would recommend.

Just goosebumps when the voices swell

A massive "Thank you" for your posts about the Welsh songs...Diolch

It’s beautiful
