JUST HALF AN HOUR TO GO!

ITALY v WALES .. Kick-Off 12.30pm



Y BRYN GWYN (The White Hill) .... CEREDWEN

A Welsh folk song with a strongly Celtic feel, and lovely Wales Country scenery

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqmlMQYpW9A


Another song by Welsh duo Ceredwen, taken from album 'The Golden Land.' The song is based on the second part of Mabinogion cycle; Bran the giant (Bendigeidfran) had been mortally wounded during the battle in Ireland to save his sister Branwen, who had been poorly treated by her husband (none other than the King of Ireland himself, Matholwch). He ordered his companions to cut off his head and bury it at the White Hill in London, facing towards France.

His head had remained until the time of King Arthur, who removed the head in the belief that he alone should be guardian of the land. Later, when the Tower of London was built on the same site, ravens were brought there in memory of Bran. To this day, it is believed that as long as there are ravens in the Tower of London, there the island of Britain is safe from invasion.

Lyrics:

Saith ddaeth o'r Iweddon, siomedigaeth yn ei gwaed
Y genhadaeth drosodd, i achub ei chwaer
Mynd yn ol at yr ynys efo pen Bran yn ei llaw
Y gost yn uchel ar ol aberthu ei cawr

Yng nghwmni ei Brenin, yr amser aeth ymlaen
Llawer o wledda, ysbryd Bran yn dal i'w arwain
Edrych at Cernyw a wnaeth dorri yr hud
Aethant i Lundain i gladdu pen ei arweinydd

Bendigeidfran, y Brenin Mawr
Bendigeidfran, yn cadw'r gelyn draw
Bendigeidfran, y Brenin dewr
Rhodd ei ben, rhodd ei ben i'w wlad

Wedi dod i Lundain aethant at y Bryn Gwyn
Fel y ddymunodd ei arweinydd a'i brenin
Claddwyd pen Bendigeidfran yn edrych draw at Ffrainc
Er mwyn amddiffyn ei wlad wrth unrhyw feddiant

Translation:

Seven came from Ireland, disappointment in their blood
The mission over, his sister saved
Going back to the island with Bran's head in their hands
Was a costly sacrifice

Thus went by in the company of their King
The spirit of Bran leading the feasting
Looking towards Cornwall they broke the spell
Then travelled to London to bury the head

Bendigeidfran, the great King
Bendigeidran, warding off the enemy
Bendigeidfran, the brave King
He gave his head to save the land

Coming to London to the White Hill
At the request of their King and leader
They buried Bran's head looking toward France
To save the land from invasion

15 MINUTES AND COUNTING ...



AND HERE IS THE WELSH ANTHEM IF YOU WANT TO SING ALONG:

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri; Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Cytgan/ Chorus
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


LITERAL TRANSLATION:
The old land of my fathers is dear to me. Land of bards (poets) and singers, famous men of renown; Her brave warriors, patriots, For freedom shed their blood.

Chorus: Country, Country, (HOMELAND conveys the sentiment more accurately) I am true to my country. While the sea is a wall to the pure, most loved land,
O may the old language endure.
