Is being sung loud and proud at Swans games these days.
Beautiful. | |

Welsh anthem is the dogs whatsits.

Ours is a national anthem,
GSTQ has nothing national about it, it's an anthem to the monarch | |

There are plenty of Welsh speakers on here that know and almost certainly agree. | |

People barely know the anthem and hum through chunks of it, they don't have a clue what it means either. Myself included but then, I wasn't singing it.
Today I believe it was sung in response to GSTQ after a few rounds of hymns and arias.
English fans will sing GSTQ but it's not England's anthem, in fact they don't have their own anthem though MP's have been discussing it, apparently. Jerusalem is one of the mooted choices, and I vow to thee my country. | |

It is Englands anthem.
Thats why they play it at the start of sport tournaments. Shirley.
The 1 million welsh speakers senedd target will fix this.
The British education delivered in Welsh schools is responsible.
We need Welsh education in Welsh schools.
Why dont you look up a translation ?
Its sure to inspire you. [Post edited 13 Feb 2022 21:24]

English is the spoken language of wales. English is the worlds language.
Welsh is irrelevant to most in Wales, apart from a few nutters. | |

Like many nations in the world, Wales has 2 languages.
Thats true in law as well.

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed
Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau
O bydded i'r heniaith barhau | | | |

I don't know what it was like in other primary schools but we had to learn it and recite at ours. | |

I have looked it up in the past, which is where it is from. Like very many national anthems it bears no relevance to the modern world.
I'll tell you what inspires me, a dying teenager raising money for another sick child.
People going out of their way to help others regardless of colour, creed or religion.
People being nice just, because...
Nature, Mother nature inspires me too. Such beauty even in the smallest things where some of the smallest things are the most fierce.
Now I'll tell you what doesn't inspire me, nationalistic garbage being used as a reason to hate others.
Wherever you go in the world people are largely the same but when nationalism rears it's ugly head, that's when trouble starts.
Mae hen Wlad is a stirring composition, in my opinion one of the best national anthems in the world but the time when Wales just belonged to the Welsh is long gone. Its a global society now, nationalism is idiocy. | |

Very well said Cat.
And I think some on here need to look up the meaning of the English word ‘attack’ because they’re not using it properly. | |

Excellent post Cat
Im sure that whilst Ben might get a buzz from hearing it sung im not si sure the other 10 players on the pitch will ....how many of our current match day team/squad are Welsh.
Its like on here we some people forget we are supporters of the team but for whatever reason tribalism breaks out
By the way there is no one prouder to be Welsh than me but the anthem has a time and place | |

Only a monoglot or supremacist would deride another language or make fun people speaking another.
Around the world, more than half of people — estimates vary from 60 to 75 per cent — speak at least two languages. Many countries have more than one official national language — South Africa has 11. Countries like Senegal, with 39 language, pride themselves in their linguistic and cultural diversity.
English is a lingua franca (along with Chinese, Hindi, Spanish and Arabic) but is increasingly seen as a language of oppression around the world especially in former 'Empire states'.
Countries subjugated by force have their liberty,, language and culture taken away.
Being from Wales or India or USA or Australia, New Zealand or Canada and being monoglot English is an acceptance of cultural slavery.
Calling people who are multi-lingual 'nutters' really does, well and truly, nail your colours to the mast. | |

Agreed with most of that buy nationalism is only idiocy when it excludes and generates hate.
English nationalism is a movement of exclusion and domination exemplified by its anthem. Send her victorious. Yesterday it was sung to remind the Welshies we don't belong, sung to elicit a reaction, sung as an indication of status.
Welsh nationalism is inclusive to those who want to belong - Her brave warriors, fine patriots
Shed their blood for freedom ... not domination. And extols the virtue of nature and language.
Yesterday it was sung in defence of what is ours.
If you don't believe in Wales then get rid of it, become English, wear the red rose with pride, bow to the Queen and doff your caps to your lords, know your place and enjoy the crumbs.
FYI I don't like hearing Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau sung at Swans games. [Post edited 14 Feb 2022 10:09]

‘It was sung to remind us Welshies we don’t belong.’
What a load of drivel (& the rest of the post) | | | |

It was sung to supposedly wind us up.
Plain and simple! | |
