Wales football song: What are the full lyrics to Yma o Hyd and what does it mean

Gareth Bale's deflected strike saw the Dragons edge to a 1-0 win amid a cauldron of noise at The Cardiff City Stadium - chiefly made by the song 'Yma o Hyd' that was belted out loud and proud!

Dafydd Iwan's patriotic 1983 tune has enjoyed a new lease of life as the unofficial anthem anthem for the Wales team.

And Welsh comedian Mike Bubbins appeared on talkSPORT's Hawksbee and Jacobs earlier this week to explain what the song is all about.

He said: "(Iwan) wrote the song, probably 40 years ago now called 'Yma o Hyd', which means 'We Are Still Here' about the Welsh.

"It's just about the Welsh spirit, the Welsh language, the Welsh culture and it still being here despite all the adversity.

"Ry'n ni yma o hyd' means 'We Are Still Here' and 'Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth' means 'in spite of everyone and everything', we are still here."

Following Wales' win over Ukraine, Welsh folk singer Iwan came onto the pitch to serene the crowd with the iconic song.

And Bubbins - who has performed his show "Retrosexual Male" at the Edinburgh Festival - was moved to see Gareth Bale and Co. join in as well.

He added: "That was great to see all the fans singing it, the Red Wall (y Mur Coch) and then to see the players singing it with Dafydd Iwan.

"What a thing for him to do that, he was crying his eyes out on the big screen before the game - must be something else for him to see that so yeah that was special!"

Yma o Hyd lyrics in full

Dwyt ti'm yn cofio Macsen

Does neb yn ei nabod o

Mae mil a chwe chant o flynyddoedd

Yn amser rhy hir i'r co'

Pan aeth Magnus Maximus o Gymru

Yn y flwyddyn tri-chant-wyth-tri

A'n gadael yn genedl gyfan

A heddiw: wele ni!

(You don't remember Macsen,

nobody knows him.

One thousand and six hundred years,

a time too long to remember.

When Magnus Maximus left Wales,

in the year 383,

leaving us a whole nation,

and today - look at us!)

Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth

Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth

Ry'n ni yma o hyd

(We are still here,

we are still here,

in spite of everyone and everything,

in spite of everyone and everything,

in spite of everyone and everything.

We are still here,

we are still here,

in spite of everyone and everything,

in spite of everyone and everything,

in spite of everyone and everything.

We are still here.)

Chwythed y gwynt o'r Dwyrain

Rhued y storm o'r môr

Hollted y mellt yr wybren

A gwaedded y daran encôr

Llifed dagrau'r gwangalon

A llyfed y taeog y llawr

Er dued yw'r fagddu o'n cwmpas

Ry'n ni'n barod am doriad y wawr!

(Let the wind blow from the East,

let the storm roar from the sea,

let the lightning split the heavens,

and the thunder shout "encore!"

Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow,

and the servile lick the floor.

Despite the blackness around us,

we are ready for the breaking of the dawn!)

Cofiwn i Facsen Wledig

Adael ein gwlad yn un darn

A bloeddiwn gerbron y gwledydd

Mi fyddwn yma tan Ddydd y Farn!

Er gwaetha pob Dic Siôn Dafydd

Er gwaetha 'rhen Fagi a'i chriw

Byddwn yma hyd ddiwedd amser

A bydd yr iaith Gymraeg yn fyw!

(We remember that Macsen the Emperor

left our country in one whole piece.

And we shall shout before the nations,

"We'll be here until Judgement Day!"

Despite every Dic Siôn Dafydd,

despite old Maggie and her crew,

we'll be here until the end of time,

and the Welsh language will be alive!)
