To my mind the Welsh are a nation of poets. The very fact that in their national anthem there's the verse "may the old language endure!" speaks volumes!

Should be teaching this along with its meaning, speaking Welsh not only lets you sing these wonderful songs but also lets you understand their meaning, sometimes needed and often overlooked

Wales has the best songs I'm so proud to be welsh

Rough translate to English. I don't ask for a luxurious life, the world's gold or its fine pearls: I ask for a happy heart, an honest heart, a pure heart. Chorus: A pure heart is full of goodness, More lovely than the pretty lily: Only a pure heart can sing - Sing day and night. If I wished worldly wealth, He has a swift seed; The riches of a virtuous, pure heart, Will be a perpetual profit. Late and early, my wish Rise to heavan on the wing of song, To God, for the sake of my Saviour, Give me a pure heart.

I always sang this in my school and i never realised how beautiful this is. Proud to be Welsh

Remembering my dearest Pastor Daniel Thomas who was laid to rest in South Wales on the 12th of December, 2022. He was a devoted Pastor, Evangelist and Missionary in Zimbabwe for all the ten years. We thank God for him and his wife played a major role in the lives of most Apostolic Church Members in Zimbabwe. We thank God for their lives. We will always remember them. May they rest in peace. This was one of the hymns sung on this day and I was blessed to attend his funeral representing all The Apostolic Church members in Africa who were not able to attend.

I’m singing this in front of my school so I’m learning it and to be honest this is my favourite welsh song

I remember singing this infront of my whole school when I was in year 3 or something, my great Nan loved this song so she came to watch with my mum and dad. Sadly she passed away god bless her she’s happy in heaven now xx

_How Green Was My Valley_ brought me here.

Damn I love this so much. I'm not Welsh but this makes my heart swell with pride.

In memory of my mamgu who passed away a couple years ago. Love you nana Green. I literally tear up whenever I hear this angelic song and Can’t Help Falling In Love With you.

It translates as "a pure heart" although Scots I heard my Welsh neice singing it and my mum's coffin was carried into church with this playing, I just love it, Cerys Matthews sings it well.

Wales the land of song,proud to be Welsh no place like Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I learned this in the choir of my junior school in Suffolk, we had a Welsh Headmaster, and he wanted us to sing for a Welsh Delegation in Bury St Edmunds. I've never forgotten it. Startles people on occasion when I join in! 😆😆

One of the greatest hymns in any language as far as I am concerned and one of the first songs in Welsh I ever learned after coming to Wales from Ireland in the 1960s. It meant a lot to me when I understood not a word as I sang it in a pub after work with a pint in my hand but it has meant much more to me, an Irish Catholic, since I became a Welsh speaker in the 1970s. Sadly, the Catholic Church in Wales does not really do Welsh so to hear great nonconformist and anglican hymns in Welsh I have to go to a noncatholic chapel or church.

Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it, cymru am byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Idk why but my reaction to waking up was to play this

I used to be in a choir when I was in school and we went to old people's homes and would sing all the classic Welsh songs and they would be absolutely delighted to hear us.

I'm so proud to be Welsh right now. I love this song so much and the words are just so special. They're words with a great meaning. Welsh for lifeCymru am fyth

Thumbs up if your Welsh as well

Loving memory of my wonderful mamgu who passed away xxx

I am welsh & I’m a very proud welsh woman. Between our beautiful mountains & seasides, our incredible flag, our language & our songs how can we not be proud.

Some one once asked me if I had a choice to be any nationality in the world who would you choose I didn't even think about it I said welsh and I stand by it ,I may be poor but I'm 😊

RIP mamgu Never asked for anything only for a pure heart ❤️

Not only thave they the best songs they have the best people iam from Gloucester all my friends are from Wales great country great people as well.

MY gran was from Wales and used to sing to me all the time..I studied Classical music for years, and just restarted this year and while I can sing a limited number of songs in Italian and one in Maori, LOL I am having a devil of a time not with the melody, just prounouncing the words correctly LOL my other Gran was from Motherwell Scotland and I keep mixing the two somehow she could speak Gaelic.. But it is a challenge and I absolutely LOVE the song..

Brings back memories of primary school, the good old days

I love this song ever since primary school and im having it played at my passing ❤

My bamp loved this song it calmed him down at his worst he was 45 when he died i love and miss you angel

Not only have we got the best flag in the world we’ve got the best anthems. I was born privileged because I was born welsh ❤️💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚❤️

I remember my entire primary would say "Dim ond calon lan ach ganu" instead of "all ganu" and I was like the only one saying it properly

Wales is the best language ever i am proud to be welsh

I sang this in my “young voices” in 2017, I was so happy to be the only one who could sing it because my mum is from wales

this is why I'm so proud of my home land its a shame we are often forgeten by the world :`)

O May our old language endure.

Love this song😘😘😘😘

Proud welsh women may live England i am from up north so we did learn lot more welsh up north . But my kids was born accept two one was born in usa 🇺🇸 and one was born in cardiff my water broke when i was visiting friend's. Rest was born in England .

I am a creative writer. Some are Welsh characters, Dexter Jiles Snow and his father, Titus Daniel Snow, anglicized from Snowden and Eiree, I suppose. The Snows were extremely musical. Another Welsh is George Cherwith, American Navy man who was an aviation bo sun. Too many more to mention here.

I'r Gad! A Cwl Cymru! :)

we always sing this at my schools eisteddfods and I love it

My deepest sympathy to your family...and i must say that your father must be pleased with your choice of music....it is moving and beautiful.

they taught this at my school in england for some reason in yr 5 still remember the lyrics

i absolutely love this song im English but live in Wales and leaning the language as i love the welsh

So beautiful I am so grateful to be learning this amazing language it brings me so much joy just listening to these songs and learning it

Proud to welsh

I sang this at my Dad's aunt's funeral last week.

The language is so beautiful. !!

Thank you for sharing this!

I sung this on my school trip when I was on the bus I’m proud to be welsh

Its Its amazing how this beautiful language still survives, despite hundreds of years of their occupiers trying to cleanse it from the British isles.

i love calon lan !!

Yn falch o fod yn Gymraeg!

cmryu am byth! well said. we welsh have the best hymns

yes welsh is phonetic but for people that find learning welsh hard, i also made an easier phonetic version: in the description

Amazing ✨

We have to sing this for our school Eisteddfod and honestly I'm losing my voice now and I'm the only one who can sing the high pitch in my entire class

Fantastic hymn sang at my sons wedding 🌈 ❤️

this was at my daddys funeral today :'(

this is really good for a eistefford! 😀🤩

We do have the best song 😊

Taron Egerton brought me here

"Phonetic version here", it says. Hullooo, Welsh IS a phonetic language. Just because some of the letters are pronounced differently to English and it has diphthongs English doesn't have, doesn't mean it's not phonetic.

This is the best I sing it in school it so amizing

Something that’s like someone who you know.

Such a beautiful hymn. Was it written during the Welsh revival?

I was. Born. In. It. Now.

Welsh songs are just so amazing the language is so annoying but so are most languages. But Welsh is so special

Anyone with a basic understanding of the language would realise that this is a phonetic version-the Welsh language is phonetic if you can be bothered to learn the sounds of the letters. English on the other hand is one of the least phonetic languages. Try explaining to a non native speaker the differences in pronunciation of words such as though, through, enough etc for example

Proud to be welsh

In a welsh accent Hell of a lad

Diolch!

Omg I used to sing this in my old school teilo sant and tbh, I didn’t know the words lol

Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus, (nid ooeen gawveen buh weed moy theece) Aur y byd na'i berlau mân: (aheer uh bead nigh behr lie man) Gofyn wyf am galon hapus, (gaw veen ooeev am gahlawn ha peace) Calon onest, calon lân. (cahlawn awenest cahlawn lan) Calon lân yn llawn daioni, (Cahlawn lan uhn LLaoon dai awe knee) Tecach yw na'r lili dlos: (tech aCH 'i'oo nahr li lee dlaws) Dim ond calon lân all ganu (dim awend cahlon lan ahLL gahknee) Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos. (Carknee'r deeth ah CHahknee'r nawes) Pe dymunwn olud bydol, (pear duhmeanoon awelead buhdoll) Hedyn buan ganddo sydd; (head een beeanne gahnthawe seeth) Golud calon lân, rinweddol, (gawlead calawn lan rin ooethall) Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd. (Chorus) (Uhn dooeen buhthawl airloo veeth) Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad (whoeer ah barware vuh nuhminyad) Gwyd i'r nef ar adain cân (gooeed eer nairv ahr add ine caan) Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad, (ahr ee thew air mooeen vuh ng hide wahd) Roddi i mi galon lân. !(Chorus) (rawthee ee me gah lawn lan)

How to make a Camera

It would be to Wales what Harp In Taras Hall is to Ireland. Its so heartrendingly DISmundane! Celestial! Glorious! Even poignant as hymn In Christ There Is No East Or West, In Him No South Or North! There's no end of describing it!

Me too

I believe she sings "gofyn rwyf" at 0:23.
