1. Men of Harlech honour calls us, No proud Saxon e'er appalls us! On we march, whate'er befall us, Never shall we fly! Forward, lightly bounding, To the trumpets sounding, Forward ever, backward never, The proud foe astounding; Fight for father, sister, mother, Each is bound to each as brother, And with faith in one another We will win or die. 2. Tho' our mothers may be weeping, Tho' our sisters may be keeping Watch for some, who now are sleeping On the battle field, Still the trumpets' braying, Sounds on, ever saying, Let each bowman pierce a foeman, And ne'er stop the slaying, Till invaders learn to fear us, And no Saxon linger near us; Men of Wales! our God doth hear us, Never will we yield!
