This shows that there’s something that adds to classic songs when you hear them performed in another language. Another example was when IL Divo covered Unbreak My Heart and Unchained Melody in Spanish.
They are truly outstanding. Their voices have touched the hearts of music enthusiasts all over the world. This American is a true fan! (Also, check-out 'Only Boys Aloud' as this young group is blossoming into another great addition to the musical world.)
I fucking love music man... Like Charlie B said, its really a universal language! You could drop into this song and no matter what language you speak, you would still be able to follow exactly where they are based on just your knowledge of the song and the melody... Music is absolutely fucking incredible man...
These guys sing from the heart.They know the lyrics by heart because they translated the lyrics of the song into their own language.There is no substitute for singing beautifully if the person singing the song knows the lyrics by heart!
Have no idea what they are singing but its beautiful. Between these gents and Only Boys Aloud the rest of the world is learning about and to appreciate Welsh music. Well done!
I have never heard of you all before and I actually gave you a standing ovation BRAVO (feeling kind of strange as I am at home in front of my computer lol)
@tannimd... tehy are singing a song Anthem from the Musical Chess. Search Chess Anthem and you hear teh song in English. THey are singing it in Welsh which is ther native language. I believe Josh Groban sang this song in 2009 or 2010 at a concert in London.
Yup. Which makes the English lyrics easy to track down, but I'm wondering about the Welsh lyrics. They're definitely not a one-for-one calque translation.

Among the greatest pleasures today is when the singer is singing to you and not at you. These men are marvelous.

One of my favourite songs. Putting it in Welsh makes it awesome, too!
"My land's only borders lie around my heart." I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Done beautifully.
I get goosebumps of joy every time I listen to this beautiful performance.
Such wonderful music uplifting for all who listen. thank you, your Welsh voices are a delight!
This is my favorite presentation of this: I see others that are fine, but somehow this one remains my favorite

Moving! And the harmony was particularly beautiful.
Pete Horton you legend! Sang in the school choir with this guy. Great voice.
How can anyone dislike this choir..They ARE the best.
@andyc163 - Who dislikes them?
Wyn has a beautiful voice
Music the universal language.-
This is tremendous gentlemen. Keep making music ... I'll be looking for you. Blessings.
Takes my breath away each time I hear it. Glorious work!!!

truly spectacular--best performance I have ever heard of this Chess classic
Da iawn diolch...every time I play this track, it sends shivers up my spine! Bloody proud to be Cymraeg!
There is just something so special when you listen to Welsh men singing
I agree with your words. They are a magnificent spectacle!
Most of us who came from the valleys and thereabouts reckoned we could sing a bit. I know now that it was only a bit. A moving performance.
A breath of fresh air!
I don't understand a word but it was amazing! Love the voices!
They say if you get three Welshmen together, they will form a choir. ;-) But, in truth, many very fine voices have come from Wales.
Superb. The Welsh have liquid gold vocal cords.
Why is it that the Welsh look amazing in suits?
There voices are amazing, but the suits complete the show.

Foarte bună melodie cântată cu multă însufleţire !

W O W !!!!! Incredible performance! Do they have a recording in English?
Wonderfull !
Veeeery enjoyable!
Its called Chess Anthem, you can see Josh Grobin sing the song in English.
Wait, in the Royal Variety Performance, were the Only Men Aloud actually vocalizing to the song and Josh was singing opera?
Yup the very one. 2008 to be exact.
Hi!
Can somebody upload the Welsh/Cymraeg lyrics, please? Thanks in advance. Diolch
i don't understand the message of the song but i love it. plus how they sing it.
Michael Ball singing “Anthem” in English, if you’re curious - czcams.com/video/ODpI56KnICw/video.htmlsi=3nuI2WgRrysHGn6F
But to deliver the message of the song to Anatoly Karpov for whom this song was dedicated, it should be sung in Russian!
it's both...boys and men...2 choirs
I'm sure it has been at some point.
OMG what can I say but OMG...sing it
Prydain drwy enedigaeth, Cymraeg trwy ras duw
Rwyn cytuno
at least a hundred of those views are mine!!
which is Wyn?
i actually like only boys aloud better
wasn't it Only Boys Aloud?
Anyone fluent enough to transcribe the lyrics? I can only make out the occasional bit here and there. ("... concro ei chalon hi...")
its from chess the song is called anthem
Yup. Which makes the English lyrics easy to track down, but I'm wondering about the Welsh lyrics. They're definitely not a one-for-one calque translation.
+Stephen Dunscombe Yup you don't translate words; you translate ideas.
yip better in a celtic voice
