Bro goth agan tasow, dha fleghes a'th kar!
Gwlas ker an howlsedhes, pan vro yw dha bar?
War oll an norvys, 'th on ni skoellys a-les,
Mes agan kerensa yw dhis.

Chorus
Kernow! Kernow, y keryn Kernow!
An mor, hedra vo
Yn fos dhis a-dro,
'Th on onan hag oll rag Kernow!

Yn tewlder an bal ha war donow an mor,
Pan eson ow-quandra dre dyryow tramor
Yn pup le pynak, hag yn kenyver bro,
Re-dreylyen colonnow dheso.

Chorus
Kernow! Kernow, y keryn Kernow!
An mor, hedra vo
Yn fos dhis a-dro,
'Th on onan hag oll rag Kernow!

last visit: 30.07.08 		I hope Bro Goth Agan Tasow becomes the accepted anthem - it would be good for all three Brythonic nations to show solidarity.

We don't have an official anthem here in Scotland either.
Although Flower of Scotland is sung ( badly ) at football and rugby internationals, it is just a folk song written in the 1970's and a rather tame one at that.
Robert Burns "Scots Wha Hae" makes my pulse race just reading the words let alone singing it.
It would be good to have something in Gaelic, but i don't think it would be accepted ( yet ).

last visit: 17.02.07 		Jeez, one minute this forum is all "English imperialist", the evils of the UK's national anthem etc etc. Next I'm reading that Cornwall apparently needs a "national anthem"? Isn't a national anthem really just another little propaganda device used to evoke dubious patriotic leanings in the population?

The proposals I read here for an assembly, anthem etc are just a mini version of the Westminister model of government.

Given that the Scottish Parliament has been given only limited tax-raising powers, the Welsh Assembly none, what are the chances a) an assembly will ever be approved or b)that it would be given any revenue-raising powers? "Where the money goes, the power resides". No taxing powers, no point.

last visit: 17.02.07 		Since when did Parson Hawker write "Bro goth agan tasow" and when was the "Song of the Western men", or "Trelawney" as it is now known, go by that name aswell?

"Trelawney" is a stirring anthem which i like singing, but as for our national anthem, i'll go with "Hail to the Homeland".

last visit: 27.03.08 		Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.

Cytgan:
Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r heniaith barhau.

Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad dan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

last visit: 21.11.08 		I've never been happy about Bro Goth agan Tasow as it's a shameless steal from Cymru. We're capable of having our own. Song of the Western men (aka Trelawny) or Hail to the Homeland.
