| GULF COAST WELSH SOCIETY |
| CROESO! WELCOME! |
| "To be born Welsh is to be born privileged, Not with a silver spoon in your mouth, But music in your blood and poetry in your soul...." |
| SCROLL DOWN FOR WELSH AND ENGLISH LYRICS TO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM |
The Welsh people share a tradition of music
and poetry, a heritage of fellowship and hope, a
love of God and country.
If your last name is Evans, Jones, Griffiths,
Hughes or Davies, you may have a tie to the
ancient Celtic land of Cymru - Wales. Or if you
are a native Welshman who now lives in the
United States, or are visiting from Wales and
long to hear the lilting voice of a fellow
Welshman tell a tale or two....or if you are just
interested in all things Welsh....then please join
us!

| Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau |
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O budded i'r hen iath barhau.

| Land of My Fathers |
The land of my fathers, the land of my choice,
The land in which poets and minstrels rejoice;
The land whose stern warriors were true to the core,
While bleeding for freedom of yore.
Wales, Wales, fav'rite land of Wales!
While sea her wall, may naught befall
To mar the old language of Wales.

Editorial comment - opinion of one. Singing our anthem in English makes about as much sense to me as
singing the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish or French. How about celebrating St. David's Day on
Halloween? How do YOU feel? Write us at SarasotaWelsh.com and let us know. With your permission,
we'll post your comments on the feedback page.
