Penblwydd hapus i chi, Penblwydd hapus i chi, Penblwydd hapus i Clwb Gwerin Llantrisant (this doesn't scan!) Penblwydd hapus i chi...
The custom is that when someone has a birthday, the club sings Happy Birthday in English, followed by Penblwydd Hapus in Welsh. It kills two birds with one stone - first, it lets the birthday celebrator bask in the glory for a few seconds longer, and second, it lets the Arts Council know that we're following the equality of two languages to the letter...
