Lyrics

Unigolion oll
Ga i eich sylw os gwelwch yn dda? Chi yn y blaen, chi yn y cefn
Chi ar y chwith, chi ar y dde
A chwi oll yn y canol
Beth yw ein polisi ar gyfer pleser?
Gawn ni derfyn ar drafod ein holl ddiffygion
A chymryd mantais ar y cyfle i gofleidio ein cyd-ddyn?
Nid yw Cymru ar werth, nid yw Cymru ar werth, nid yw Cymru ar werth x2
Penderfyniadau pwyllgorau pwyllog
Sy'n atgyfnerthu goruchafiaeth ffiadd y farchnad
Sy'n rhydd i wneud be' a fynno
Brandi a coke i fynd gyda dy frand di?
Fi 'di blino ar fod yn flin
Â'r unigolyddiaeth ddi-chwaeth
Sy'n creu problem mâs o'r gwahaniaeth
Y gwahaniaeth gogoneddus sydd i'w ddathlu ym mhob man
Yr haenau'n cynyddu wrth i ni fynd yn ein blaenau
A'r oll y'n ni 'gyd eisiau gwbod yn sicr
Yr unig beth sy'n bwysig
Yw cariad
Nid yw Cymru ar werth, nid yw Cymru ar werth, nid yw Cymru ar werth x2

____

Individuals all
Can I have your attention please?
You at the front, you at the back
You on the left, you on the right
All of you in the middle
What is our policy regarding pleasure? Can we stop all of these discussion about our failings?
And take advantage of being able to embrace one another?

Wales is not for sale, Wales is not for sale, Wales is not for sale x2

The decisions made by cautious committees reinforces the dominance of the vulgar market which is free to do what it wants.

A brandy and coke to go with your branding? I'm fed up of feeling angry
And the indecorous individualism
Which creates a problem out of the difference The glorious difference to be celebrated everywhere The layers increase as we keep going on
And the only thing we want to know, the only thing that really matters is love

Wales is not for sale, Wales is not for sale, Wales is not for sale x2

Being filmed in Germany, I cannot help thinking the red shirt and black skirt is an homage to one of Kraftwerk's iconic outfits! Great song!

[natureclips]

Should be considered for Eurovision!! A song in Gaelic or Welsh instead of English

[AutieTeleDexBaBrBo]

Congratulations to you for being nominated for the Mercury. You do wonder for the Celtic languages of this country and you always have catchy tunes to do them in. Well done!

[Leberteich]

Wer haette das gedacht- Gwenno dreht ein Video in Berlin! Gwych i weld Gwenno ym Merlin, fy hoff cantores yn fy hoff ddinas!

[terrydonegan]

Only discovered you Gwenno while watching 'Rewind 60 years of Welsh pop' my heart feels strangely warmed. Wow!!

[robertevans]

Making Cymraeg sound like the the coolest language in the world is quite a feat, ardderchog Gwenno cariad. Tresor fawr ydych chi eich hunain.

[Kirkospock]

[DoctorAtomicUK]

This deserves to be mega. Just ordered the album.

[TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Clywes i hwn ar Siart Amgen Rhys Mwyn tua fis yn ôl. Cân hollol wych, mae'n syndod dwi byth di clywed amdano Gwenno o'r blaen.

[Silentblogger]

God this is such a great song . Love it.

[jasonedmonds]

Gwenno is a fuckin goddess and is rightly iconised on the side of Clwb Ifor. This song is pure joy ❤️. Gruff Rhys & Gwenno the greatest musicians yn Hanes Cymry 👌. Collab os gwelwch yn dda 😀

[ggagg]

Cân wych arall gan y chwiroydd Saunders.

[craigbridge]

Got the album from England yesterday as it's not for sale here in New Zealand...blows my mind

[WayneFoxPhotography]

Brilliant! Congratulations on the Mercury nomination too. All the best!

[clivemortimore]

I don't think that was filmed in St Austell. Nice song.

[johnf.sowards]

It's a love song of sorts! (thanks for putting the lyrics) & it's so good that it's generating even more love now: I've really fallen for this album.

[DOGMA]

Amazing song, however I have no idea…….I’m told it mean ‘Wales isn’t for sale’ but still love this tune 😜😜

[Toncor]

This is filmed in Germany, I wonder what they think of Celtic?
