Land Of My Fathers

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

for thee fought for freedom by Mona's green shore

their courage undaunted inspires all our lays

our harps ere 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

Dall'album An Evening with Paul Robeson una trascinante interpretazione dell'inno nazionale del Galles (ma in inglese) da parte del grande attore e cantante americano. Trasferimento in digitale da un nastro Emitape mono a 3 3/4 pps dei primi anni '60.

The Welsh have always appreciated good singing. He sang in the South Wales valleys - in the Parc and Dare Workmen's Hall so I am told.

What paul Robeson discovered was that the working class in this case the Welsh were treated just as bad as black people were and that skin colour and the working classes were the same side of the coin as were both shat on from the people above us.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am of Welsh heritage and this feels right. Paul Robeson was a blessing to many with his powerful voice that has a sacred sound and feel don't you think? Thanks
