Shirley Bassey & Bryn Terfel - We'll Keep A Welcome (duet) (2006 Live) video free download

2006 (Feanol Festival Concert)

LYRICS:

Far away a voice is calling

Bells of memory chime

Come home again,come home again

They call through the oceans of time

We'll keep a welcome in the hillside

We'll keep a welcome in the Vales

This land you knew will still be singing

When you come home again to Wales

This land of song will keep a welcome

And with a love that never fails

We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth

When you come home again to Wales

We'll keep a welcome in the hillside

We'll keep a welcome in the Vales

This land you knew will still be singing

When you come home again to Wales

Shirley Bassey together with the choir:

This land of song will keep a welcome

And with a love that never fails

We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth

When you come home again to Wales

We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth

When you come home again to Wales

NOTE: The word hiraeth is used in the third verse - a word which is almost impossible to translate, but is frequently used in Welsh as a means of describing the longing that one would feel when away from Wales for any length of time.
