Please join me and the Rugby Gang today.
We are now "airing" ;-) a pre-match special, with music, rugby, etc on a Welsh theme with a bit of Aussie thrown in!

Starting with the Welsh ALL TIME FAVOURITE LOVE SONG

MYFANWY ... BRYN TIERFEL & WELSH MALE VOICE CHOIR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2f382uMJvA

English Version Translation
(sadly, most recordings leave out the second verse which really explains the story)

Why is it anger, O Myfanwy,
That fills your eyes so dark and clear?
Your gentle cheeks, O sweet Myfanwy,
Why blush they not when I draw near?
Where is the smile that once most tender
Kindled my love so fond, so true?
Where is the sound of your sweet words,
That drew my heart to follow you?

What have I done, O my Myfanwy,
To earn your frown? What is my blame?
Was it just play, my sweet Myfanwy,
To set your poet's love aflame?
You truly once to me were promised,
Is it too much to keep your part?
I wish no more your hand, Myfanwy,
If I no longer have your heart.

Myfanwy, may you spend your lifetime
Beneath the midday sunshine's glow,
And on your cheeks O may the roses
Dance for a hundred years or so.
Forget now all the words of promise
You made to one who loved you well,
Give me your hand, my sweet Myfanwy,
But one last time, to say "farewell".

Our Live Special is "aired" ;-) in REAL TIME, but you can use "catch up" by clicking on any of the links at any time :-D :-D :-D ;-)

If you have a favourite song on a Welsh or Aussie theme ... Just put in a "Request" (ie post it!) and I will try and find the link for you! :-D

Good Morning Shaunnie :-) :-) :-)

YES!
WE MUST REMEMBER OUR MUCH LOVED AND MISSED FRIEND TEC (TECWYN) TODAY <3 <3 <3

Oh jem that song Late Mum loved Tom Jones & She is laid to rest in the Green Grass of Home ST Helens .

Thank you Shaun for posting the lovely folk song AR LAN Y MOR (BY THE SEA) by MAX BOYCE

In case you missed Shaun's link ... here it is again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNFI659YwAI

The English Translation
Beside the sea red roses growing
Beside the sea white lilies showing
Beside the sea their beauty telling
My true love sleeps within her dwelling

Beside the sea the stones lie scattered
Where tender words in love were uttered
While all around there grew the lily
And sweetest branches of rosemary

Beside the sea blue pebbles lying
Beside the sea gold flowers glowing
Beside the sea are all things fairest
Beside the sea is found my dearest

Full the sea of sand and billows
Full the egg of whites and yellows
Full the woods of leaf and flower
Full my heart of love for ever.

Fair the sun at new day’s dawning
Fair the rainbow’s colours shining
Fair the summer, fair as heaven
Fairer yet the face of Elin
