[QUOTE=The Lone Gunman;5288193]If the translation I've read is accurate, one section of the song goes as follows:
"Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow and the servile lick the floor."
So who does Dafydd Iwan regard as the faint-hearted and the servile?
Not so thinly veiled dig at DML if you ask me.
I think Welsh is great
That single mum from Barry that won miss world ?
She spoke Welsh
Bloody marvellous

Does misappropriated propaganda for White Colonial misadventure have a place in 21st Century Wales?

Is this a dot-joining subliminal warning of the forthcoming Great Reset that you ignore at your peril?
Shall we start singing Delilah instead? Nothing wrong with that is there 🙄
I'll sing the national anthem, but for me all this poetry, hymn-like singing, tears, dreary folk tales of Welsh of old, myths, anti-English sentiments, it's all a bit dull and depressing. Much prefer proper 'footy' singing..
That it works is the magic bit. Welsh speakers or not, people travelling from the furthest reaches of the nation and sworn rivals all excited to be in the Canton Stand or elsewhere belting out songs unique to the Welsh football team or they wouldn't dream of singing in any other ground or environment. Players "crocked" for months putting in stellar performances. I think anyone who was there last week who didn't love it has lost a bit of their soul.
Saying that...winning helps!
