Land Of My Fathers - Wales National Anthem (Paul Robeson)

Dear land of my fathers, whose glories were told
By bard and by minstrel who loved thee of old;
Dear country whose sires, that their sons might be free
Have suffered and perished for thee!

Wales! Wales! Land of mist and wild
Where'er I roam
Though far from my home
The mother is calling her child

The Lord of great Snowdon in brave days of yore (1)
for thee fought for freedom by Mona's green shore
their courage undaunted inspires all our lays
our harps here resound to their praise

Wales! Wales! Land of mist and wild
Where'er I roam
Though far from my home
The mother is calling her child

Wales! Wales! Land of mist and wild
Where'er I roam
Though far from my home
The mother is calling her child
