- Can/ Song: "Carlo"
Canwr/ Singer: Dafydd Iwan
- Can ddychanol sydd yn gwneud hwyl am ben y Tywysog Siarl, "Tywysog Cymru", ond eto nid oes dim byd Cymraeg amdano fel mae'r gan yn ei gyfleu. Yn wreiddiol fe gafodd y gan ei hysgrifennu fel protest yn erbyn yr arwisgo yn 1969. -
- A satirical song poking fun at Prince Charles who's title is 'Prince of Wales', yet there is nothing Welsh about him... The song conveys this well. Originally, this song was a protest against the investiture of Prince Charles in 1969. -
Note: "Carlo" is a nickname given to Charles. The English translation of 'Carlo' would be 'Charlie'.

English translation lyrics:
"Carlo"
I've a little friend who lives in Buckingham Palace,
And Carlo Windsor is his name.
Last time I went to knock on his door,
His Mother answered and she told me...
O, Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo today, today,
Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo with Daddy, Daddy.
Join in the song, peoples old and young,
Finally we have a "Prince" in the land of song.
He recieved his education over in Australia,
And off to Scotland did he go.
Columnist of Welsh culture,
Contributor to 'Tafod y Ddraig'
A member of the Urdd, a camper ever since I can remember...
O, Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo today, today,
Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo with Daddy, Daddy.
Join in the song, peoples old and young,
Finally we have a "Prince" in the land of song.
Every week he reads the 'Cymro' and the 'Faner',
He reads Dafydd ap Gwilym in his bed every night,
The future of the language and country is close to his heart
He's a greater nationalist than the FWA...
O, Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo today, today,
Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo with Daddy, Daddy.
Join in the song, peoples old and young,
Finally we have a "Prince" in the land of song.
Oh yeah, Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo today yeah, today,
Carlo, Carlo,
Carlo's playing polo with Daddy yeah, Daddy.
Join in the song, peoples old and young,
Finally we have a "Prince" in the land of song. - Hudba
I usually skip the closing credits for The Crown, but I made an exception for this song.
Same
Same. I’ve been skipping back repeatedly now on this video trying to sing it properly. I’m considering becoming a Welsh Nationalist.
Yeaaa the same
I just did it too
Me toooo!!! 😂
Found myself after watching series 3 of ‘The Crown’ what a song!
Just finished the episode where this song was featured and wow, what a beautiful episode. My favourite so far.
I did so, and just discovered this language. Vraiment très jolie ;)!
Same!!♥️
Same. Had to check it out, and my Welsh wife shouted out "Dafydd Iwan!!! What a legend!!!!"

My favorite episode from The Crown with this song. Welsh language is beautiful. Greetings from Poland.

I just found this song after watching The Crown. What a beautiful language!
Diolch. Shame the English think otherwise and have for hundreds of years tried to oppress our language and culture. 🏴
me too!
@alynwillams4297 well they did sorta invade that beautiful land 1600 years ago. Makes sense they want to oppress as much as possible
@@alynwillams4297get over it.
idk why but it is so heartwarming for me to see people chatting in welsh here in comments. due to the circumstances sometimes it is very valuable to know and speak or even learn your own language.
hi from ukraine💓
This guy has such a rich, warm tone to his voice. So pleasant to listen to.
Popped over here afer The Crown. What a funny great song and beautiful language! Something I've never heard in my part of the world.
The Crown brought me to appreciate the Welsh Language so rich and so beautiful, so close to my own shore! Up the Cymru!!
@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd just watch the CGP Grey video
It's not that hard
@@ashgreninja7521 Shawn made a great rebuttal to that, I recommend watching his video.

For those of you who do not know Wales, the last two measures (where Iwan sings "La, la") are from the song "God Bless the Prince of Wales," an obsequious piece of doggerel glorifying Wales's fate as a subservient colony of untermenschen. "Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad dan ei droed..."

Definitely my favorite comment here so far🤭
I'm a bit confused. The only version of "God Bless the Prince of Wales" is this one:
Ar D'wysog gwlad y bryniau,
O boed i'r nefoedd wen,
Roi iddo gyda choron,
Ei bendith ar ei ben!
Pan syrthio'r aur wialen,
Pan elo un i'r nef,
Y nef a ddalio i fyny
Ei law frenhinol ef!
Among our ancient mountains,
And from our lovely vales,
Oh! Let the prayer re-echo
God bless the Prince of Wales!
With hearts and voice awaken
Those minstrel strains of yore,
Till Britain's name and glory,
Resounds from shore to shore.
I don't see the lyrics you included in this. Am I misunderstanding something?
I am from West Bengal, India. And was extremely surprised to discover that the native word for 'song's in both Welsh and Bengali is 'Gaan'. The indo European language family is truly something that binds humans.
I've been listening to this song on repeat for some time now. Yes, ever since I saw that episode on The Crown, which was my absolute favourite. Such beautiful music and such an honest rendition of this beautifully natural sounding language.
Also absolutely love the carricaturish background. Completely in tune with the nature of the song as a protest. However, any person who has seen the episode cant not feel empathy for Charles.
The title prince of Wales is just an insult to the Welsh ever since our royal family was slaughtered by the English.
@@alynwillams4297 yep, which is made worse because the descendents of those who carried that out are now claiming the British royal titles for their own. And the world are clueless about it.
A nawr Carlo yn y brenin. Mae yna newydd brins yn y gwlad o gân. Ond gwneud dim camgymeriad... mae'r pobl o Gymru yn hyd gwrthwynebu. Y brins o Gymru bydd dim yn fod dyn o gwlad arall. Rwyt ti'n gallu goroni pwy bynnag ti'n hoffi, ond y wir olaf brins o Gymru yn Owain Glyndŵr. Bob amser yn bydd fod.
This song makes me wanna visit the Welsh countryside even just for once in my life
Please do.
Please do!! It’s absolutely beautiful. As a welsh person myself I am so proud of my home, and proud to be able to speak the language!! It’s honestly worth it to visit.
You would be most welcome... Croeso
Till the episode of The Crown what contains this song I hadn't known that Wales has own culture and language. 😯
I like this language good to hearing. 🙂

watching The Crown and founding how beautiful welsh language is，love from China
I found this song while watching The Crown. It really touched me can't explain it. It just does and that's all you need to know about music
Don't speak welsh, love this song.
Watching that episode of The Crown I thought, if they don't play "Carlo" after this one, I'm filing a formal complaint. It was the only choice.
Welsh language has word "Gan" for song. So do many indian languages. We have some similarities in our languages. Much love from India.
it is "cân" actually; the 1st consonant of words can change in Welsh after certain words.
That’s Indo-European languages for you

@szalard
He's talking about Prince Charles and he is being completley sarcastic throughout the entire song.. It's a satirical song, you see, and he's taking the mick out of Prince Charles.
He's called the Prince of Wales yet there is nothing Welsh about him, nor has he any interest in the country and its culture, heritage and history...
The nickname "Carlo" , that the Welsh use to describe him, is insulting.
I hope that made sense!
Episode 3.6 seems to say that's how Charles started out, but then got educated and did begin to appreciate Welsh culture. I wonder if it stuck. How is he perceived today?

Not at all. Charles who’s supposedly the prince of Wales visits Wales once a year 😂 he spends most of his time in Scotland or northern England.
Carlo is how he's called in Italy, officially.
The Welsh don't use it, only Dafydd Iwan. Apart from Radio Cymru and in Gwynedd Iwan is totally unheard of in Wales. He's a nobody.
The Welsh being forced to have English Princes isn't the real insult - The real insult is how the Welsh have been made to forget that they had centuries worth of Kings before they were relegated to being "Princes". They were known as Rex Brittanorum (King of Britons) for a Reason. With The likes of Hu Gadarn being legendary founder of Welsh (British) people and then real figures like Brutus, Caratacus, Macsen, Ceri, Arthwys, Hywel Dda, Iestyn Ap Gwrgan, Rhodri Mawr, Cunedda, etc.
Not to mention that two kings of Gwynedd (Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and Owain Gwynedd) were also King of Wales. If it wasn't for Henry III, the Welsh would have united in a single nation
Also listening because of that show The Crown. This song has a lovely melody.
I watched the crown and I was fine until I heard this song. Nothing but tears and unexplained nostalgia ♥️❤️🌹🥺🥺🥺
Bravo!
The Crown brought me to this extraordinary song!
Greetings from China
I'm italian and I loved learning this song , it's funny
Especially the "yn" pronunciation
The job of Prince of Wales began as a joke with Edward II. It may end as one as well.

God damn it, Welsh is so singysongy anyway, what a wonderful language.

Best episode os the series
Cymru Rydd! 🏴
I come here after finished watching The Crown season 3 episode 6
I had a family friend who was from Penygros Wales.. Every time i hear the school teacher say "be quiet boy" i hear my friends voice saying it to his son.
Welsh is a beautiful language & like others said i watched the credits roll after this episode just to listen to the song 👍
There is one in the North and one in "Cwm Gwendraeth" in the South West, which one? :))
@@pedrapioan4201 the one in Gwynedd county i believe 🤔🤷♂️
Hi Carlo daddy time here …come here nowq
Carl is now king
@szalard
Also, the song is sung in a 'light' and 'humourous' way to take further mick out of prince Charles.
And no problem. Although, these may be the last few Welsh language music videos I upload for a while...
Never be the "brins" of the Celts.
Tywysog Cymru
one of the best episodes
Found this song after The Crown Ep6S3. My fav eps so far, and loveee this song
I never tire listening to this song! Such a catchy happy tune!
Thank you for this awesome song, and because you came back with great Welsh music! :)
The line “Playing Polo with Daddy” is quite sad and will be even more so once William is king.
Happy joooobilies, pawb, mwynhau, FWA. 😎👍
vvvery catchy song and beautiful language 🥰 loved it
The Welsh language is in great danger of dying, and relies on learners to keep her alive. I'm dreading the results of the 2021 census, as the numbers have been steadily decreasing for decades. This is because many foreigners have been moving into Wales, and making the small Welsh villages too expensive for the native to live in anymore. Please make the effort to learn Welsh, as we will appreciate it, it will open job opportunities, and will make you more welcome in our villages and country. I hope I have convinced you to learn Welsh, even a Duolingo course is enough. Thank you.
Freedom to the Celtic nations!!! 🏴🇨🇮🇮🇲🏴
Independence is coming! Fe godwn ni eto. 🏴 🏴 🇮🇪 🇮🇲

@@taffyducks544 my mom flies a beautiful flag with the flags of all the Celtic nations on it, including those of Cornwall and Brittany. Actually, the flag is as hideous as a mashup of half a dozen nations flags would be, but it makes my heart swell whenever I see it.
What a brilliant song!
Well, now even a king ! Long live
This song was written because Dafydd Iwan was against the investiture of Prince Charles in 1969. He's anti-monarchist and this song is actually making fun of Charles
Dafydd Iwan and Prince Charles finally met each other about two years ago.
I find that encouraging.
Que bela música. Gostei de tê-la ouvido ao final do episódio de The Crown.
I'm here for the 3rd season of The Crown
BTW the intro and outro melodies of this song are based on a patriotic song 'God Bless the Prince of Wales'.
Thank you, and don't stop posting Welsh music please. :(
I hate that English junk that flows from the music channels. This is so different, and full with meaning! I love it!
It is an amazing song
This shit is kinda fire ngl...
Dwi yn chwarae y can yma ar guitar.
i came from "the crown"season 3 i loved the song and i have expected that i would find this in youtube
I love this song. Naturally I first heard it on "The Crown" but I liked it immediately and I found myself feeling more sympathetic towards Prince Charles. Thanks for posting!
He could of chose to denounce the title “prince of Wales” but didn’t. The title should be put into the history books as it’s disrespectful to the Welsh who’s royal family’s were slaughtered by the English.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. Are you Welsh?
No problem. Yes I am
@@alynwillams4297
In fairness, Charles has paid massive amounts of respect to Wales since gaining that title. While the Crown edited his investiture speech a bit, his real speech did indeed raise eyebrows with hints of support for Welsh nationalists. Charles is far from perfect, but he does try which is extraordinary given the brainwashed childhood he was put through by the English elite.
@@alynwillams4297 Sure. The 21 year old insecure son of two domineering parents, a young man raised by all and sundry to believe tradition was life itself, should have taken a stand against something the male English heirs viewed as their right for nearly seven hundred years. It's just a royal title, for Pete's sake. Do you think if the Welsh had gotten that title back a few hundred years ago it wouldn't today be in the hands of some hereditary one percenter living far above the common person and just as out of touch as Carlo with his polo ponies?
@szalard
Ha ha...OK, I will continue to upload Welsh music but I have some other videos (unrelated to music) I may want to upload too! =)

William can’t speak any Welsh ;(
Now we're here
ME and my mum love this song dai iawn
One lyric I find very interesting in this song is “Ac yna lab i Scotland yr aeth o”, the use of the English name for Scotland (“Yr Alban” in Welsh) in my opinion this is trying to show how Scotland doesn’t have an independent culture or language (as Gaelic is almost extinct) so it’s basically English.
PS it isn’t just a name thing as he uses the Welsh name for Australia as “Awstralia”
Might be because of the song's age, maybe Scotland was a more common word than "Yr Alban" at the time
@Szczepek90
No, it isn't a treiglad... it's regional dialect. Dafydd Iwan is from Sir Gaerfyrddin (Carmarthenshire) and there they say 'warae' instead of 'chwarae' =)
I was wondering that ! Where I am it’s pronounced “gwarra” 🤦
Not so sure about that .... I'm from "Cwm Gwendraeth" Sir Gaerfyrddin as is Dafydd Iwan, my family roots are in in Sir Benfro and Sir Ceredigion, and I would naturally say "Chwarae teg", but one does hear "warre teg boi" , maybe in this instance "warre teg" fitted the melody better than "chwarae teg" ? :)) We have lost words in my lifetime .... I was brought up saying "Oifad" (to swim) i.e. " rwyn mynd lawr i'r afon i oifad" ( the f is a V sound, ff being F). However, I hear very few young people using "Oifad", they now say "Nofio" (taught in school) I refuse to use it! for me it will always be "Oifad" I get a few young puzzled looks down at the leisure centre in Caerfyrddin lol, sad really! Apparently, down in Sanclêr they say/said? "Moifad"
The Crown
Mae'n anodd credu bod pobl sy'n credu pethau fel hynny yn bodoli, weithiau...
To see a lazy fella have a ludicrous expensive chandelier put on his head, and being taken about in in a gold painted glorified farm cart pulled by a few old neddies???
Hey the farm cart was made in Australia ;)
Sorry, I am crazy. After I wrote it down I saw that you actually made it clear in the openable window. :)
What say the Welsh for the new prince?

Welsh sounds just like the Icelandic language!
Welsh is celtic while Icelandic is Germanic beleive it or not English is closer to Icelandic than welsh is to it, their apart of the same Germanic family while wales is Celtic family with scotland & ireland

Diolch yn fawr :) I brought up this topic when I went out to the pub with the other Celts(so to say; we tend to call ourselves Celts here in the Department) and nobody could give an answer they would be sure of. We were even afraid that Dafydd Iwan might have simply made a mistake in mutating ;)
Can gorau erioed
The Crown brings me here too
Not only Charles, but all Princes of Wales through last 5-6 centuries have nothing to do with Wales. So, would be better if song was about it in general, rather than about Charles personally. One day he will not be a POW anymore, but the problem will still stay the same
Not when Wales becomes independent. The title will then be void and Wales will be a republic.
William is now the Prince
@Szczepek90
=) Noo :)
Actually, it's clever what he does. In Welsh 'B' mutates into 'M' > so Buckingham becomes Muckingham. "Muck" in English is something dirty or muddy. :P Haha.

Really enjoyed this! Charles is the only royal person I like.
This song is sarcastically taking the piss out of him though?
@@Aron-ru5zk true, but it has some friendly teasing to it. At least that's how I interprete it
@@Laura-lh7xg You do realise they are foreign Germano/Greeks whos ancestors created the title Prince of Wales to demote the British Kings and their Descendants to Princes? The Britons of what would become Wales had Kings for centuries prior to the English showing up. They were known as Rex Brittanorum (King of Britons).
@@taffyducks544 no, but now I know!
@@Laura-lh7xg No worries. The legitimate British lineage ended with Charles the ll of England who claimed descent to the ancient British Kings via Scotland and further back, via Wales (Percy Enderbie - Cambria Triumphans). Charles' sons do have a bit of Welsh ancestry through Diana DeSpencer who was descended from the same Royal Welsh house as John F Kennedy. Its been traced all the way to Welsh king Hywel Dda (Howell the Good)
