Lyrics
Wele goelcerth wen yn fflamio
A thafodau tan yn bloeddio
Are I'are dewrion ddod I daro
Unwaith eto'n un
Gan fanllefau'are tywysogion
Llais gelynion trwst arfogoion
Craig are graig a grbn!
Arfon bth ni orgydd
Cenir yn dragywydd
Cymru fydd fel Cymru fu
Yn glodus ymysg gweldydd
'Nghwyn oleuni'are goelcerth acw
Tros wefusau Cyro'n marw
Annibyniaeth sydd yn galw
Am ei dewraf dyn
Hark I hear the foe advancing
Barbed steeds are proudly prancing
Helmets in the sunbeams glancing
Cymru fo am byth
From the rocks rebounding
Let the war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The haughty foe advancing
Men of Harlech on to glory
See your banner famed in story
Waves these burning words before ye
Cymru fo am byth!

My Grandad was Welsh and an Old Contemptible of the 2nd Batt Royal Welsh Fusiliers .When the film Zulu was shown in our town an old man stood to attention alone in the cinema when the soldiers sung this song .God Bless Granfer what patriotism.

Brings a tear to my eye every time especially the Welsh part This song has seen me through some dark days and it will always keep me fighting!
She hits the high notes with such easy power.
What a patriotic performance! A young girl with great pride for her country, its heritage and her roots. And why not? Wales is a beautiful country. So says an Englishman.

Britannia Why do you think I'm white? Bizarre... And I'm a coward for offering an opinion different from yours? Even more bizarre (but very British of you). You seem to be confusing the events in the movie "Zulu" with what actually happened in reality. That's not how movies work. What about this for reality... The British Army and associated colonial troops were armed with state of the art firearms (for the time period), faced a force of untrained (in modern warfare of that period) farmers armed with spears and cow-hide shields. This gave the British a colossal superiority over their foe. This is a fact. After the battle Trooper William James Clarke of the Natal Mounted Police described in his diary that 'altogether we buried 375 Zulus and some wounded were thrown into the grave... We were very bitter and did not spare the wounded Zulus' Lieutenant Horace Smith-Dorrien wrote that the day after the battle an improvised gallows was used "for hanging Zulus who were supposed to have behaved treacherously'. (British justice) Many wounded Zulus were summarily executed on the Battlefield where they lay. A war crime by modern standards. I have no doubt that the individual British soldiers were brave, fought well and did their duty on the day. But please don't try to make it out like a glorious victory for the British Empire. It was another squalid and shameful event in the history of the inglorious, blood soaked British empire. In the words of the song; "Come tell us how you slew, the poor Arabs two by two, Or the Zulus armed with their bow and arrows. How you bravely slew each one, With your sixteen pounder gun, You frightened them poor natives to their marrow'. And I'm a brat? I'm quite close to pension age!!! LOL!!!
Sung like an Angel then, and today she still does although we don’t see enough of her ❤️❤️
Love to hear the Welsh language love from Ireland
I heard this and wanted to march into a horde of Normans with a smile and a rock in my hand. I'm Irish but by god no one sings like the welsh. Outstanding song and the most beautiful language on earth. Welsh is what angels sound like.

@@peterhodges7274 No so sure about that; the movie is relatively accurate historically, and gave the Zulu warriors the full credit they were due. And the "heroic defense" put up by the defenders wasn't mere Hollywood bombast, but historically accurate: each of those Victoria Crosses was earned in just the way depicted in the movie (Stanley Baker insisted on truthful acccuracy).
Superb version. Charlotte certainly has the voice of an angel. The men aren't too bad either.

You can be forgiven when you understand that only 10 soldiers of the 1/24 that fought in the battle were Welsh. Many of the soldiers of the junior battalion, the 2/24, were Welshmen.[55] Of the 122 soldiers of the 24th Regiment present at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, 49 are known to have been of English nationality, 32 were Welsh, 16 were Irish, one was a Scot, and three were born overseas. The nationalities of the remaining 21 are unknown.[56]
