W: Ei gwrol rhyfelwyr, gwlad garwyr tra mad,
W: Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

W: Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad!
W: Tra mor yn fur,

W: Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
W: Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.
W:
W: Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad dan ei droed,

W: Chorus:
W: Wales! Wales! fav'rite land of Wales!
W: While sea her wall,
W: may naught befall
W: To mar the old language of Wales.
W:
W: Old mountainous Cambria, the Eden of bards,
W: Each hill and each valley, excite my regards;
W: To the ears of her patriots how charming still seems
W: The music that flows in her streams.
W:
W: My country tho' crushed by a hostile array,
W: The language of Cambria lives out to this day;
W: The muse has eluded the traitors' foul knives,
W: The harp of my country survives.

W: La himno nacia de Kimrujo
W:
W: Kara al mi estas l' oldland' de l' prapatroj,
W: Fama pro iaj kantistoj kaj poetoj.
W: Patriotar' pro liberec', ili volis sin doni,
W: Mi volas Kimrion koni.
W:
W: Kimri'! Kimri'! Di', Kimrion amas mi,
W: Dum la maro estas irka la amata hejmlando,
W: Ho vivu la kimra lingvo!
