Red Day

It has been decreed by Antony that we must all come in dressed in red on Friday to celebrate the success of the Welsh rugby team. We have also been given the Welsh national anthem to learn for a massed rendition on Friday. I fear that the tone deaf outnumber the musical within data8, so it will not be a pleasant sound, more a caterwauling

For those who want, here are the words you must learn to join in -

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 môr 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.


I am devastated that I will miss this as I will be on holiday, all I can say is, I hope they beat the French on Saturday or there will be some long faces come Monday.
