Songs that make you teary

nanna8 my mother was 100% North/Mid Wales (DNA verified) so I am 50%. So here is another to make you cry and this will really get you going!

Dafydd Iwan belts out Yma o Hyd before Wales vs Austria!

And if you want the translation and meaning here it is:
Dafydd Iwan sings Yma o Hyd with lyrics and English translation

Cue more sobbing!

Anything by a brass band.

Thanks Chestnut
That was very uplifting!

(I'm now awaiting any furtive connivers to come along and complain about the flag )

I always enjoy the Australian anthem too, nanna8

You've made me well up too. My mum was 100% Welsh, a minister's daughter and granddaughter. I remember her saying she wanted to listen to beautiful Welsh hymns when she was dying. I hated myself for a while because I didn't do this for her, (I was young, and couldn't accept she was dying). Calon Lan. 🕊

You've made it worse, my mum was a teacher!

I was at St David's Hall a few years ago listening to a whole group of children from various primary schools singing Calon Lan (DGD amongst them)

It was very moving.
