MEN OF HARLECH

Men of Harlech, stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spearpoints gleaming
See their warrior pennants streaming
To this battle field.

Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It can not be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
WELSHMEN NEVER YIELD

From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty foe surrounding.

Men of Harlech on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye
WELSHMEN WILL NOT YIELD......... tra la la la la la la

COME ON WALES! I'd love to hear the Wales players sing this LOUDLY to S.A.

I will come from behind the sofa after the HAKA.

That's not the words I know to Men of Harlech.

This is the version I was taught as a child, there must be more than 1 version. I was taught by an elderly Welsh teacher at junior school, our headmaster was also Welsh.

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!

This is OH's version sung to the music of Men of Harlech, it's a 1907 imposter of course. In his defence I blame his parents. He was born in London and bought up in Kent. He sensibly joined the RAF and I rescued him and re-educated him ;-) :-D

Am only putting up the first verse - don't need it all do we?

1st verse
Now is the time for marching, Now let your hearts be gay,
Hark to the merry bugles Sounding along our way.
So let your voices ring, my boys, And take the time from me,
And I’ll sing you a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea!

Chorus
For We're the men from Sussex, Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
And useful men are we;
And when you go to Sussex, Whoever you may be,
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea!

Refrain
Oh Sussex, Sussex by the Sea!
Good old Sussex by the Sea!
You may tell them all we stand or fall,
For Sussex by the Sea.

Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch,
Fi, bererin gwael ei wedd,
Nad oes ynof nerth na bywyd
Fel yn gorwedd yn y bedd:
Hollalluog, Hollalluog,
Ydyw'r Un a'm cwyd i'r lan.
Ydyw'r Un a'm cwyd i'r lan

Agor y ffynhonnau melus
'N tarddu i maes o'r Graig y sydd;
Colofn dân rho'r nos i'm harwain,
A rho golofn niwl y dydd;
Rho i mi fanna, Rho i mi fanna,
Fel na bwyf yn llwfwrhau.
Fel na bwyf yn llwfwrhau.

Pan yn troedio glan Iorddonen,
Par i'm hofnau suddo i gyd;
Dwg fi drwy y tonnau geirwon
Draw i Ganaan -- gartref clyd:
Mawl diderfyn. Mawl diderfyn
Fydd i'th enw byth am hyn.
Fydd i'th enw byth am hyn.
