Paragraph from: DAFFODIL CAPITAL OF WALES - PRIFDDINAS CENNIN PEDR CYMRU

In Wales, the Daffodil is a symbol of the Patron Saint, David (Welsh: Dewi Sant), and

of rebirth and faithfulness, because they bloom every year, even after the harshest Winters.

"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.

The Welsh National Anthem.

Saint David (Dewi Sant) is The Patron Saint of Wales

and 1 March is The Welsh National Day.

accompanied by a Traditional Welsh Harp.

The Welsh name for the City of Saint David is Tyddewi.
