All of the facts? Granted I have not cross checked them against Wikipedia, but then again, I could just go to the Wiki site and just modify everything to my liking.
How could any Welshman not feel a surge of patriotism when hearing these words?
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 mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.
Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed.
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.
And for all you non Welsh linguists the translation
The Old Land Of My Fathers
The old land of my fathers is dear to me,
Land of poets and singers, famous men of renown;
Her brave warriors, very good patriots,
For freedom shed their blood.
Land, land, I'm for my land.
While the sea is a wall to the pure, dear country,
O let the old language [sc. Welsh] continue.
Old mountainous Wales, paradise of the poets,
Every valley, every cliff is beautiful to my sight.
Through patriotic feeling, so charming is the murmur
Of her brooks, rivers, to me.
If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot,
The old language of the Welsh is as alive as ever.
The muse is not hindered by the hideous hand of treason,
Nor [is] the melodious harp of my country.
I was up in New Lanark in Central Scotland the other week, it's a world heritage site, very important in social history and was founded by a Welshman (Robert Owen)and had a large amount of Welsh workers later on, in fact in my work we have 27 Llewellyns (none of whom can say it lol).
The take I have on the term proud to British is slightly different, maybe five years back I’d come out with the term “I proud to be a Yorkshire man” but the more I travelled around the UK and abroad made me question why am I proud, how am I better than the guy fifty miles down the road or anyway else? Well the short answer is I’m not!
This made me think about the values I’m proud of, which I think is the key; it’s not about the place or the religion. For me I’m proud of the values my family and friends has passed down, some may be classed as traditional British values, respect, patience, tolerance, compassion. However, am I proud to be British? In today society no I don’t think I am!
Being patriotic for me would be difficult as over the generations my family have lived in many different countries and had different regions but the values have remained the same.
