The Welsh National Anthem,

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
is The Welsh National Anthem.
The tune and words were the work of the father and son team of
Evan James (1809 - 1878) and James James (1833 - 1902).

Cymraeg :
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi 
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion enwogion o fri 
Ei gwrol ryfelwr, gwlad garwyr tra mad 
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed. 

Gwlad Gwlad, 
Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad, 
Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau 
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau

English: 
Land of my Fathers, O land of the free, 
A land of poets and minstrels, famed men. 
Her brave warriors, patriots much blessed, 
It was for freedom that they lost their blood. 

Wales ! Wales !, 
I am devoted to my country. 
So long as the sea is a wall to this fair beautiful land, 
May the ancient language remain.
