Mae Hiraeth yn fy Nghalon There is a Longing in my Heart Dafydd Iwan Mae hiraeth yn fy nghalon There's a longing in my heart am y ddoe na ddaw yn ol, for the yesterday that won't return, Mae tristwch yn f'enaid, There's a grief in my soul am y fu... for what has been... Mae dagrau yn fy llygaid There are tears in my eyes ar ol y rhai sydd wedi mynd for the ones that have gone A'r atgof sydd yn bwrw cysgod du And the memory casts such a dark shadow Af i chwilio yn y mynydd, I'll go look in the mountains, Af i chwilio yn y glyn I'll go look in the glen Af i chwilio am orffennol teg fy ngwlad I'll go look for the fair past of my land Gwrandawaf ar yr afon a syllaf ar y llyn I will listen to the river and stare at the lake A disgwyl, disgwyl gweled fy nhreftad. And wait, wait to see my heritage. Mae'r awel yn y brigau The breeze in the branches yn dweud am y dyddiau blin speaks of the woeful days Pan roedd gormes landlordiaid yn y tir When the tyranny of the landlords was in the land A'r hesg yn dweud yn ddistaw And the sedge whispers am fuchedd gwerin dlawd of the mortality of pitiable peasantry Aberth bywydau byr a'r dyddiau hir And the sacrifice of short lives and long days Ond dywed nant y mynydd But the mountain's creek speaks am lawenydd ac am hwyl of joy and merriment A'm balchder a gorfoledd dan yr iau And pride and jubilation of the young A dywed llif yr afon And the flow of the river speaks am fethiant gormes Sais of the failure of English domination I dorri calon ddewr y bur hoff bau. To break the hearts of the pure and brave. Mae hiraeth yn fy nghalon There's a longing in my heart am y ddoe na ddaw yn ol, for the yesterday that won't return, Mae tristwch yn f'enaid, There's a grief in my soul am y fu... for what has been... Mae dagrau yn fy llygaid There are tears in my eyes ar ol y rhai sydd wedi mynd for the ones that have gone A'r atgof sydd yn bwrw cysgod du And the memory casts such a dark shadow Af i chwilio yn y mynydd, I'll go look in the mountains, Af i chwilio yn y glyn I'll go look in the glen Af i chwilio am orffennol teg fy ngwlad I'll go look for the fair past of my land Gwrandawaf ar yr afon a syllaf ar y llyn I will listen to the river and stare at the lake A gwelaf, gwelad yno fy nhreftad. And there, there I see my heritage. Page 2 2. Yma o Hyd - Still Here Dafydd Iwan Dwyt ti'm yn cofio Macsen, You don't remember Macsen, Does neb yn ei nabod o; Nobody knows him; Mae mil a chwe chant o flynyddoedd One thousand and six hundred years Yn amser rhy hir i'r co'; Is a time too long to remember; Pan aeth Magnus Maximus o Gymru When Magnus Maximus left Wales Yn y flwyddyn tri-chant-wyth-tri, In the year 383 A'n gadael yn genedl gyfan Leaving us a whole nation A heddiw: wele ni! And today - look at us! [Cytgan] [Chorus] Ry'n ni yma o hyd, x2 We are still here x2 Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth, x3 In spite of everyone and everything x3 Ry'n ni yma o hyd, x2 We are still here x2 Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,x3 In spite of everyone and everything x3 Ry'n ni yma o hyd. We are still here. Chwythed y gwynt o'r Dwyrain, Let the wind blow from the East Rhued y storm o'r môr, Let the storm roar from the sea Hollted y mellt yr wybren Let the lightning split the heavens A gwaedded y daran encôr, And the thunder shout "Encore!" Llifed dagrau'r gwangalon Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow A llyfed y taeog y llawr And the servile lick the floor Er dued yw'r fagddu o'n cwmpas Despite the blackness around us Ry'n ni'n barod am doriad y wawr! We are ready for the breaking of the dawn! [Cytgan] [Chorus] Cofiwn i Facsen Wledig We remember that Macsen the Emperor Adael ein gwlad yn un darn Left our country in one whole piece, A bloeddiwn gerbron y gwledydd And we shall shout before the nations 'Mi fyddwn yma tan Ddydd y Farn!' 'We'll be here until Judgement Day!' Er gwaetha pob Dic Siôn Dafydd, Despite every Dic Siôn Dafydd (Note 1) Er gwaetha 'rhen Fagi a'i chriw Despite old Maggie and her crew, Byddwn yma hyd ddiwedd amser We'll be here until the end of time, A bydd yr iaith Gymraeg yn fyw! And the Welsh language will be alive! [Cytgan] [Chorus] Note 1: Dic Siôn Dafydd was the name of a satirical ballad by Jac Glan-y-gors (1766-1821) about a stereotypical Welshman who has turned his back on the Welsh language and culture, in his bid to succeed in England.

Ei nodwedd bennaf yw ei mynyddoedd, o ba rai yr Wyddfa yw mynydd uchaf Cymru a Lloegr, yn 3560’ (1085m) o uchder. Mae’r mynyddoedd eraill yn cynnwys y Carneddau a’r Glyderau yn y gogledd, a’r Rhinogydd a Chadair Idris yn y de. Yma ceir llawer o fryndir mwyaf trawiadol y wlad, gan gynnwys pob un o gopaon Cymru sy’n uwch na 3,000 o droedfeddi. Mae llawer o nodweddion rhewlifol, gan gynnwys cribau llymion, cymoedd, clogwyni, llynnoedd (gan gynnwys Llyn Tegid, llyn mwyaf Cymru), corsydd, afonydd a rhaeadrau. Mae natur serth y tir yn gwneud teithio’n anodd, a chyfyngir mwyafrif y prif ffyrdd i waelodion dyffrynnoedd a thros fylchau uchel. Yn ddaearegol, mae’n ardal amrywiol, a fu â rhan bwysig yn natblygiad cynnar gwyddor daeareg. Denodd sylw rhai o sylfaenwyr yr wyddor, gan gynnwys Charles Darwin, a archwiliodd yr ardal ym 1831. Y mae ymhell, fodd bynnag, o fod yn ddim ond anialdir uchel. Am ganrifoedd, bu’r ardal yn arwydd ysbryd a rhyddid y wlad a’i phobl. Sefydlwyd bwrdeistrefi Dolgellau a’r Bala yng nghyfnod annibyniaeth Cymru cyn y goresgyniad Eingl-normanaidd. Felly, hefyd, llawer o aneddiadau llai ond hynafol fel Dinas Mawddwy. O’i ganolfan yn y Bala, dechreuodd y diwygiad Methodistaidd ar waith trawsffurfio Cymru a’r ffordd Gymreig o fyw yn y 18fed ganrif a’r 19eg. Y Gymraeg yw iaith mwyafrif y trigolion heddiw.

Locale -- various places throughout Wales, London OBJECTIVES a. Immediate — To secure the erection of bi-lingual public b. signs throughout Wales* Long range -- To ensure "...the right of emery Welshman to use "Welsh—in all spheres of life.. (C.I. G. document 99 quoted in the booklet Symbols of Justice p. 6) I. CAMPAIGN PARTICIPANTS: LEADERSHIP AND ALLIES a. Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (The Welsh Language Society, hereafter C.I.G), an organisation started in 1962, mainly by students, response to a call by Saunders Lewis for nonviolent direct action to block the forces contributing to the decline of the Welsh language. Behind C.I.G. are strong traditions of Christian pacifism and nonviolent action by Welsh nationalists. (Saunders Lewis is a nationalist, one of the founders of Plaid Cymru (Party of Wales), and nonviolent activist—one of a group of three who burned down an RAP bombing school in Wales in the mid 1930's after all constitutional means of blocking its being built had failed.) b. Leadership for the campaign came from C.I.G. Prominent figures were Dafydd Iwan and Ffred Ffransis. Many ad hoc groups participated. Groups of professionals, parents, writers, ministers, and even magistrates gave support in various ways --when the chairman of C.I.G. (Dafydd Iwan) was in gaol for refusing to pay a fine, a group of magistrates paid the fine and secured his release.

  • Rob Phillips the WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE at the NATIONAL LIBRARY of WALES
    Rob Phillips THE WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE AT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru or The National Library of Wales (NLW) in Aberystwyth was established in 1909, to collect and provide access to the documentary history of the nation. It is a legal deposit library and is therefore entitled to receive a copy of all books, magazines, newspapers etc. published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Welsh Political Archive (WPA) is a dedicated programme within the Library, established in 1983, to collect, catalogue and promote archival material which reflects the political life of Wales. There is one staff member who coordinates the WPA’s activities, answers enquiries, promotes the archive and works to attract archives to add to the collection. Organising and cataloguing archives is undertaken by staff in the NLW’s Archives and Manuscripts Section. But as the political collections include tapes of radio and television programmes, photographs, works of art, electronic files and websites, the WPA works across departments within the National Library. In addition to curatorial work, the Welsh Political Archive also works to promote the use of the political collections through lectures and exhibitions. An advisory committee (comprised of representatives of political parties and civil society, journalists and academics), guiding the work of the WPA, meets annually. Rob Phillips, ‘The Welsh Political Archive at the National Library of Wales’, in: Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015). http://snm.nise.eu/index.php/studies/article/view/0310s Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015) | SOURCES Collections Many of the political archives the NLW holds are personal collections of well-known political figures (Members of Parliament, Lords, Members of the European Parliament and Assembly Members); the formal records of a large number of political organisations – including the main political parties, campaign groups, referendum campaigns – and business and labour groups constitute another important part.

    Painting the World Green: Dafydd Iwan and the Welsh Protest Bal...Page 1 of 30 Skip to content Skip to navigation menu Information Services Painting the World Green: Dafydd Iwan and the Welsh Protest Ballad (2005) by Dr E. Wyn James School of Welsh, Cardiff University First published in Folk Music Journal, 8:5 (2005), pp. 594-618. ISSN 0531-9684. This article is based on a paper delivered at the 29th International Ballad Conference, hosted by the Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, August 1999. Copyright © E. Wyn James, 2005, 2006 Abstract Dafydd Iwan, the current President of the Welsh nationalist party, Plaid Cymru, has been a key figure in the significant renewal of national identity Wales has witnessed since the 1960s. While his contribution has been many-faceted, it is arguably as a singer-songwriter that he has been most influential. A master of satirical, political song, his work is a complex plethora of indigenous Welsh and Anglo-American influences, which can only be fully appreciated by being placed in the context of the preservation and modernization of Welsh culture on the one hand, and of the post-war folk revival and the international rights and justice movement of the 1960s on the other. Although not well-known outside Wales, Dafydd Iwan is a figure of international significance, both as an embodiment in a specific cultural context of the singer-songwriter par excellence and as a concrete example of the power and influence of popular song. The first years of the 1960s were rather bleak times for the Welsh nationalist movement.
