The Welsh National Anthem is Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, "Land of my Fathers", not Men of Harlech.

Both Men of Harlech and Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau are on Bryn Terfel's Deutsche Gramophon CD, "Bryn Terfel, We'll Keep a Welcome - The Welsh Album". The liner notes have lyrics in Welsh and English. They both sound better in Welsh. The English translations are stilted, to say the least. These are beyond question the best recordings that have ever been made of these songs.
