does anyone know the st davids day hymn?

Answer 1

hiya i am welsh by birth and celebrate the uniqueness that is the welsh culture .The two answers you have had so far are the welsh national anthem and are not strictly a welsh hymn. As a child i participated in loads of events that involved singing and something called the urdd which was a welsh youth movement/cultural competition type annual event and had prelims semis etc in things such as writing poetry,reciting from memory poems ,singing and dansio gwerin(folk dancing)and you ended up bringing "glory to your school" if you won different events.I remember singing hymns such as "myfanwy" "Dafydd y carreg wen" "men of harlech " and "jeruselem" In all of these events as well as hen wlad fy'n nhadau .If you google for these songs try to get bryn terfyl or Katherine jenkins singing them but bryn would be better as these songs where originally folk songs sung by miners (yes we have or had miners in north wales!!)and need the deep baritone voice to convey the full emotion of the words .Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The hymn for St David's Day is on this link. http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/w/w118.html. The other suggested anthems are not hymns and have nothing to do with St David.

Answer 3

Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau

Answer 4

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

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

Answer 5

Day-vo. Day-ay-ay-vo. Daylight come and we want to go home.
