Charlotte Church - Men of Harlech lyrics

rate me

Wele goelcerth wen yn fflamio

A thafodau tan yn bloeddio,

Ar I'r dewrion ddod I daro,

Unwaith eto n un:

Gan fanllefau'r tywysogion

Llais gelynion, trwst arfogion,

A charlamiad y marchogion,

Craig ar graig a grbn!

Arfon byth ni orfydd.

Cenir yn dragywydd;

Cymru fydd fel Cymru fu,

Yn glodus ymysg gwledydd,

'Nghwyn oleuni'r goelcerth acw,

Tros wefusau Cymro'n marw,

Annibyniaeth sydd yn galw,

Am ei dewraf dyn.

Hark I hear the foe advancing

Barbed steeds are proudly prancing,

Helmets in the sunbeams glancing

Symru fo am byth

Men of Harlech lie ye dreaming?

See ye not their falchions gleaming,

While their penons gaily streaming

Cymru fo am byth.

From the rocks rebounding

Let the war cry sounding

Summon all at Cambria's Call

The haughty for surrounding

Men of Harlech on to glory

See your banner famed in story,

Waves these burning words before ye,

Cymru fo am byth! Men of Harlech!

In the Hollow,

Do ye hear like rushing billow

Wave on wave that surging follow

Battle's distant sound?

Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen,

Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen,

Be they knights or hinds or yeomen,

They shall bite the ground!

Loose the folds asunder,

Flag we conquer under!

The placid sky now bright on high,

Shall launch its bolts in thunder!

Onward! 'tis the country needs us,

He is bravest, he who leads us

Honor's self now proudly heads us,

Freedom, God and Right!
