W: Old mountainous Cambria, the Eden of bards,
W: Each hill and each valley, excite my regards;
W: To the ears of her patriots how charming still seems
W: The music that flows in her streams.
W:
W: My country tho' crushed by a hostile array,
W: The language of Cambria lives out to this day;
W: The muse has eluded the traitors' foul knives,
W: The harp of my country survives.

W: Kimri'! Kimri'! Di', Kimrion amas mi,
W: Dum la maro estas irka la amata hejmlando,
W: Ho vivu la kimra lingvo!
