So for the Welsh among us, a huge favourite of mine

PAN FO'R NOS YN HIR ..... RYAN AND RONNIE
(When The Night Is Long)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaN0tJKF51A

This beautiful song was written by the Late Ryan Davies, whom I had the pleasure of meeting.
Ryan and Ronnie were like the Welsh version of Morecambe and Wise, but with singing!

HERE IS THE LITERAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION

When The Night Is Long

When the night is long
and the dawn is far away
Battling through the long hours
without an hour’s sleep
Fighting, tossing and turning
through the great, long hours
Without seeing the close of yesterday
nor the end of my journey

Then through the black darkness
I see your face
I remember the romance
the eyelid closes
When the night is long.

Then through the black darkness
I see your face
Fear and terror vanish away
When the night becomes day.

YEY! :-D :-D

IT'S THE WELSH MASCOT! ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D

The Anthems

ITALIAN ANTHEM
Il Canto degli Italiani (The Chant of the Italians)
With Italian and English on screen lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3RToBymttA

~~~~~~~~~~~~ FLY... GET YOUR POMPOMS READY! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D <3

FOR MY SCOTTISH FRIENDS AND SCOTTISH FANS TO SING ALONG

Here are the lyrics to O Flower Of Scotland


O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Usually, the second verse is left out (sadly)

Ready and waiting ;-)
