YMA O HYD -(OFFICIAL CYMRU WORLD CUP SONG)


I'm not a great football fan but I will be watching Wales, I'd like them to get a few wins and would be over the moon if they did win.
And I love the song, which I looked up right away to sing the words. Dh and I have been having Welsh lessons, 2 two-hour sessions a week. I do remember some from Junior school, but have a problem stringing the words together and the pronunciation of some, but we're having a good go, but laugh at our attempts. The words look so strange, but we have favourites.
Dh's favourite is smwddio= ironing.
Mine is ...archfarchnad=supermarket
Quite a mouthful I think you'll agree.
Thank you for the comments on Charities, yes I feel guilty if I say no too.

Here are the words if you want to sing along.

Dwyt ti'm yn cofio Macsen
Does neb yn ei nabod o;
Mae mil a chwe chant o flynyddoedd
Yn amser rhy hir i'r cof;
Pan aeth Magnus Maximus o Gymru
Yn y flwyddyn tri-chant-wyth-tri
A'n gadael yn genedl gyfan
A heddiw: wele ni!

[Chorus:]
Ry'n ni yma o hyd
Ry'n ni yma o hyd
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Ry'n ni yma o hyd
Ry'n ni yma o hyd
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Chwythed y gwynt o'r Dwyrain
Rhued y storm o'r môr
Hollted y mellt yr wybren
A gwaedded y daran encôr
Llifed dagrau'r gwangalon
A llyfed y taeog y llawr
Er dued yw'r fagddu o'n cwmpas
Ry'n ni'n barod am doriad y wawr!

Welsh always sounds very melodious to me. And I love their singing.
