* Unwaith eto'n un.
* Gan fanllefau tywysogion
* Llais gelynion, trwst arfogion
* A charlamiad y marchogion
* Craig ar graig a gryn.
* Arfon byth ni orfydd
* Cenir yn dragywydd
* Cymru fydd fel Cymru fu
* Yn glodfawr ym mysg gwledydd.
* Yng ngwyn oleuni'r goelcerth acw
* Tros wefusau Cymro'n marw
* Annibyniaeth sydd yn galw
* Am ei dewraf ddyn.
* Ni chaiff gelyn ladd ac ymlid
* Harlech! Harlech! cwyd i'w herlid
* Y mae Rhoddwr mawr ein Rhyddid
* Yn rhoi nerth i ni.

### Doare John Oxenford

| Verse 1 Men of Harlech, march to glory, Victory is hov'ring o'er ye, Bright-eyed freedom stands before ye, Hear ye not her call? At your sloth she seems to wonder; Rend the sluggish bonds asunder, Let the war-cry's deaf'ning thunder Every foe appall. Echoes loudly waking, Hill and valley shaking; 'Till the sound spreads wide around, The Saxon's courage breaking; Your foes on every side assailing, Forward press with heart unfailing, 'Till invaders learn with quailing, Cambria ne'er can yield! | Verse 2 Thou, who noble Cambria wrongest, Know that freedom's cause is strongest, Freedom's courage lasts the longest, Ending but with death! Freedom countless hosts can scatter, Freedom stoutest mail can shatter, Freedom thickest walls can batter, Fate is in her breath. See, they now are flying! Dead are heap'd with dying! Over might hath triumph'd right, Our land to foes denying; Upon their soil we never sought them, Love of conquest hither brought them, But this lesson we have taught them, "Cambria ne'er can yield!" |

### Doare "Talhaiarn"

| Verse 1 Glyndŵr, see thy comet flaming, Hear a heavenly voice declaiming, To the world below proclaiming, Cambria shall be free: While thy star on high is beaming, Soldiers from the mountains teeming, With their spears and lances gleaming, Come to follow thee. Hear the trumpet sounding While the steeds are bounding, On the gale from hill and dale, The war-cry is resounding: Warriors famed in song and story, Coming from the mountains hoary, Rushing to the fields of glory, Eager for the fray: To the valley wending, Hearths and homes defending, With their proud and valiant prince, From ancient kings descending; See the mighty host advancing, Sunbeams on their helmets dancing, On his gallant charger prancing, Glyndŵr leads the way. | Verse 2 Now to battle they are going, Every heart with courage glowing, Pride and passion overflowing In the furious strife: Lo! the din of war enrages, Vengeance crowns the hate of ages, Sternly foe with foe engages, Feeding Death with Life: Hear the trumpets braying, And the horses neighing, Hot the strife while fiery foes Are one another slaying; Arrows fly as swift as lightning, Shout on shout the tumult height'ning, Conquest's ruddy wing is bright'ning, Helmet, sword, and shield; With their lances flashing, Warriors wild are crashing, Through the tyrant's serried ranks Whilst onward they are dashing: Now the enemy is flying, Trampling on the dead and dying; Victory aloft is crying, "Cambria wins the field!" |

### E-barzh ar film Zulu

* Verse 1
* Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
* Can't you see their spear points gleaming
* See their warrior pennants streaming
* To this battlefield
* Men of Harlech stand ye steady
* It cannot be ever said ye
* For the battle were not ready
* Welshmen never yield
* From the hills rebounding
* Let these war cries sounding
* Summon all at Cambria's call
* The mighty force surrounding
* Men of Harlech on to glory
* This will ever be your story
* Keep these burning words before ye
* Welshmen will not yield

### Doare saoznek John Guard

| Verse 1 Tongues of fire on Idris flaring, News of foemen near declaring, To heroic deeds of daring, Call you, Harlech men. Groans of wounded peasants dying, Wails of wives and children flying, For the distant succour crying, Call you, Harlech Men. Shall the voice of wailing, Now be unavailing, You to rouse, who never yet In battle's hour were failing? This our answer, crowds down pouring, Swift as winter torrents roaring. Not in vain the voice imploring Calls on Harlech men. | Verse 2 Loud the martial pipes are sounding, Every manly heart is bounding, As our trusted chief surrounding, March we, Harlech men. Short the sleep the foe is taking; Ere the morrow's morn is breaking, They shall have a rude awakening, Roused by Harlech Men. Mothers, cease your weeping, Calm may be your sleeping, You and yours in safety now, The Harlech men are keeping. Ere the sun is high in heaven, They you fear, by panic riven, Shall, like frightened sheep, be driven, Far, by Harlech men. |
