Yma o hyd
[1981]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Dafydd Iwan
Dafydd Iwan ac Ar Log, 1983
" 'Yma o hyd' is an anthem for Welsh nationalists, Welsh-speaking culture and the industrial working class of Wales." - Martin Johnes, Swansea University.
Sebbene ancora soltanto per meno di due ore, al momento in cui comincio a scrivere, oggi è il 21 ottobre. Il 21 ottobre è l'anniversario, quest'anno il cinquantesimo sesto, della strage di Aberfan, in Galles. 21 ottobre 1966.
Centoquarantaquattro morti per una discenderia di carbone liquefatta dalle piogge dei giorni precedenti, di cui centosedici bambini della scuola elementare Pantglas, più i loro insegnanti. Ma non intendo “sintetizzare” di nuovo; occorre rimandare a una canzone che ne parla specificamente, Aberfan di David Ackles.
C'è tutto, in quella pagina; compresa l'incredibile storia della perturbazione... (Continues)

It would be misleading, however, to give the impression that the Welsh political scene and the fate of the Welsh language are the subject-matter of all of Dafydd Iwan’s songs. A prominent characteristic of his repertoire over the years has been its variety. His output includes children’s songs (both original and new arrangements or adaptations of traditional material), love songs, songs in praise of nature, songs for use in Welsh learners’ activities, together with some directly religious songs (carols in particular). Songs of social justice form a significant element in his repertoire. They reflect Dafydd Iwan’s left-libertarianism, a product in part of his Nonconformist upbringing.
Some of these songs address matters of social concern in Wales itself, with attacks on Thatcherism and support for the peace movement being especially prominent. However, there is also a strong international... (Continues)

Dafydd Iwan's Welsh version

Here complete lyrics
Dafydd Iwan was born in 1943 in Brynaman, a village on the western edge of the South Wales Coalfield, in an area where Welsh was still the predominant community language. By a strange coincidence, the previous year had seen the birth of another icon of the pop world, John Cale (of Velvet Underground fame), in the nearby village of Garnant, although their musical, cultural and ideological paths would be strikingly different in many ways. Both John Cale’s and Dafydd Iwan’s mothers were teachers by profession, but while John Cale’s father was a coal miner, Dafydd Iwan’s was a Nonconformist minister. When Dafydd was twelve years of age, his father accepted a call to pastor a church in the village of Llanuwchllyn in the Bala area of central north Wales, a rural area very different from Brynaman, but similar to the extent...

Questa canzoncina in lingua gallese (dovuta all’irriverente Dafydd Iwan, l’autore di Yma o hyd, il “secondo inno nazionale” del Galles e sicuramente della nazionale di calcio gallese) ha qualche annetto: cinquantaquattro per la precisione, essendo stata composta nel 1969. E’ dedicata a un signore, tale Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor, che all’epoca era già più noto come “Carlo d’Inghilterra” in quanto “erede al trono” già da anni sufficienti affinché un neonato diventasse adolescente. In quanto “erede al trono” della Corona Britannica, gli spettava il titolo di “Principe di Galles”; titolo che avrebbe mantenuto fino... (Continues)
