English text

Let the hills resound with song
As we proudly march along,
For as of old our Sires were bold, stout hearts have we
While Cambria’s mountains stand
Like the ramparts of the land,
Unfettered as the winds are her children free!

War we wage
For freedom’s heritage,
Our cause is true that urges to the conflict’s close,
And peace shall crown
The warrior’s bright renown,
The fame of him who bore him well in front of foes.

Land of my home,
Tender thoughts will come
When thy happy valleys in dreams I see;
And thy hearth-fires rise,
And blue as skies,
Eyes of the dear ones are turned on me.

Fair flow thy streams
And in sunlit gleams
Break upon the stones of a milk-white strand,
And as soft haze fills
The range of hills,
Fond prayers arise for my own loved land.
