    The Land Of My Fathers

    The land of my fathers, the land of my choice,

    The land in which poets and minstrels rejoice;

    The land whose stern warriors were true to the core,

    While bleeding for freedom of yore.

    Chorus

    Wales! Wales! fav'rite land of Wales!

    While sea her wall, may naught befall

    To mar the old language of Wales.

    Old mountainous Cambria, the Eden of bards,

    Each hill and each valley, excite my regards;

    To the ears of her patriots how charming still seems

    The music that flows in her streams.

    My country tho' crushed by a hostile array,

    The language of Cambria lives out to this day;

    The muse has eluded the traitors' foul knives,

    The harp of my country survives.
