GETHIN JENKINS OUR WALES RECORD BREAKER- 105TH CAP (see earlier profile post)

AND NOW FOR WALES ..MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri; Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed
Cytgan/ Chorus Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
<3 <3 <3

AND IT'S SCOTLAND'S ANTHEM- THE FLOWER OF SCOTLAND FOR OUR EMMS <3

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Come on my " BUTTY BACH'S " :-) :-)
Put last week behind you and come out with FIRE IN YOUR BELLY BOYS :-) :-)

Can we all think of Von to day, as she's got a house full of Scots :-0 ;-) :-)
