... but what if we held an Eisteddfod and everybody came?
Yma o hyd. See if you can triangulate between this one with the Welsh lyrics and this one with subtitles and work out the subtle differences.
Note the two main grievances of Welsh Nationalism - the flooding of the almost completely unpopulated Capel Celyn valley to make a reservoir (displacing over three dozen people to a council estate two miles away and killing as many as none), and the Investiture of the Prince of Wales (which was disapproved of largely on aesthetic grounds). Also, the fact that we weren't given a subsidised television channel for our minority language until 1984. The Irish we ain't.
