ANTHEMS NOW


FIRST THE ITALIAN ANTHEM

Hello Radio Jem........ wonderful old Welsh hymn. Sung at our wedding.
Glad that the doctor was wrong yesterday. That must have been a worry.

We will try to do our best for Shaun...... a little boogie here and a little boogie
there. Oggy Oggy Oggy Oi Oi Oi......... enjoy the game Shaun and Tec too

COME ON WALES, COME ON WALES, COME ON WALES.

HERE'S THE WALES ANTHEM

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU- THE WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM

ALL 3 VERSES

Verse 1.

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Cytgan/ Chorus

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


LITERAL TRANSLATION:
The old land of my fathers is dear to me. Land of bards (poets) and singers, famous men of renown; Her brave warriors, patriots, For freedom shed their blood.

Chorus: Country, Country, (HOMELAND conveys the sentiment more accurately) I am true to my country. While the sea is a wall to the pure, most loved land,
O may the old language endure.


While most Welsh People know their anthem as written above, there are actually 2 more verses as follows:

Verse 2:
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bard
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi

Old Mountainous Wales, The Poet’s Paradise,
Every Valley, every cliff, to my mind is beautiful,
Through patriotic feeling, how charming are
the murmurs of her brooks to me

Verse 3:

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
yr awen gan erchyll law brad,

If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot,
The old language of the Welsh is as alive as ever
Spirit not restrained or hindered by the hideous hand of treason,
Not hindered by the hideous hand of treason.


***** At Rugby Games, verse 1 and 2 rounds of the chorus are sung

COME ON WALES, THINKING OF TEC WHO WILL BE WATCHING.

The dance routine below was performed by the Welsh Wizards ie Tec and Shaun, you will find it on page 668 of the Welsh thread it’s not to be missed:-D although it is a rain dance it can be done anytime and anywhere soooooooooooooooo here we goooooooooooooooooo:-D
All together now, on the count of 3, 1~~~~~~~~2~~~~~~~~~3

Instructions

1
Wear turquoise and feathers, if you have any. Many Native American tribes associate turquoise with rain and feathers with the wind. Put on any turquoise-colored clothing that you may have and turquoise jewelry. If you have access to any bird or decorative feathers, place a couple in your hair or secure them to a hat and wear them during the rain dance.
2
Find an outdoor space where you have plenty of room to move around. Choose a space that has sparse or no tree cover so that you have a clear view of the sky. The terrain of the space you choose should be relatively flat, which will make it easier to perform the rain dance.
3
Spin around in circles. Begin spinning clockwise at a slow and steady pace. Chant your own simple rain chant as you spin. Your chant can be something as simple as the word "rain" repeated over and over or an entire phrase, such as "Come down rain." Raise your hands to the sky occasionally to urge the rain to fall.
4
Speed up your spinning and chanting. The longer you spin and chant the faster you should spin and chant. Close your eyes as you dance and breathe in deeply between chants. When you want to end the dance, drop to your knees in silence. Stay on your knees until any dizziness you feel goes away and you can regain your balance.

Oggy Oggy Oggy! Oi Oi Oi! Oggy Oggy Oggy! Oi Oi Oi! Oggy! Oi! Oggy! Oi! Oggy Oggy Oggy! Oi Oi Oi!COME ON WALES:-D

COME ON WALES, THINKING OF TEC WHO WILL BE WATCHING.
