nanna8 my mother was 100% North/Mid Wales (DNA verified) so I am 50%. So here is another to make you cry and this will really get you going!

Dafydd Iwan belts out Yma o Hyd before Wales vs Austria!

And if you want the translation and meaning here it is:
Dafydd Iwan sings Yma o Hyd with lyrics and English translation

Cue more sobbing!

Just been listening to the Welsh National Anthem on Utube. In Welsh, of course. Thinking of some of my ancestors from North Wales in the nineteenth century, what a wonderful anthem. Can’t beat the Welsh choirs.
What music makes you emotional?
Have to admit there are quite a few pieces for me.
