'The Land Of My Fathers'
The land of my fathers is dear unto me.
The land of the poets, the land of the free.
Her patriots and heroes, Her warriors so brave.
For freedom their life's blood they gave.
Wales! Wales!
Pledged am I to Wales.
Whilst seas surround
This land so proud
Oh, long may our old tongue remain.
Old land of the mountains, paradise of the poets.
Every valley, every cliff a beauty guards.
Through love of my country, enchanting voices will be
Her streams and rivers to me.
Wales! Wales!
Pledged am I to Wales.
Whilst seas surround
This land so proud
Oh, long may our old tongue remain.
