-Here he is. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
-Greetings, father, and -greetings, girls. I'm James James. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
-Join me -on a journey around Pontypridd... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
-..to see -how the old place has changed. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-Incredible! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-Let's start at the very beginning. -I was born in 1809. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-I was one of 12 children. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
-12 children? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
-12 children? - -That's a handful. Two handfuls! | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-More than two handfuls! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-Yes, it was for my poor mother. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-I loved writing poetry -from a very young age. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-Quiet! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
-What noisy children you are! | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-John, William... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-..Edward, David... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-..Lewis, Daniel, Richard, Mary... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-..Evan, Margaret... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-..James and Thomas. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-Are you -composing poetry again, Evan? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
-But, Mam, I can't stop myself -when the muse is flowing. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-Beloved Wales is in my heart -You and I shall never part. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
-Evan the poet. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-The good old days. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-I wrote poetry at work -in the wool factory. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-But where's the factory now? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-What's that? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-I think it stood here, Father, -but the factory has long gone. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:21 | |
-Pontypridd -looked so different back then. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-It was here that I wrote poetry. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-And it was here that I composed -music. I loved composing melodies. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
-I loved singing -and would often sing at the pub. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-# And the cat -has scratched little Johnny | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-# A little saucepan -is boiling on the fire | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-# A big saucepan -is boiling on the floor | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-# And the cat -has scratched little Johnny | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
-# Oi! Oi! # | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
-The good old days. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
-I'm sure the pub used to be here. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-Didn't it? -It looks very different now. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-Yes, it's changed a lot. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-Goodness me, a museum! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
-Let's take a look around. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-Come upstairs. -There's a section all about you. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-Yes, come on! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
-Who would've thought it! | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-I remember sitting on this. -It was my chair. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-Father, do you remember the melody I -composed for Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
-It tells the story here -with pictures and everything. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-Land of bards and singers, -famous men of renown. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
-You wrote our anthem? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-The national anthem of Wales? | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
-The national anthem of Wales? - -It's the national anthem of Wales? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-Goodness me, James, I remember -you composing that melody. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
-Me too. -It was a cold afternoon in January. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-The year was 1856. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-I was walking beside -the River Rhondda. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-# La-la-la-la-la-la | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
-# La-la-la-la-la-la # | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-Hm, yes, I like that. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
-# La, la | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-# La-la-la-la-la-la-la | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-# La-la-la-la | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-# La-la-la | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-# La-la-la-la-la | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
-# La-la-la-la-la | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
-# La-la # | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-Whoo! I've got it! Whoo-hoo! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-You ran to me with the melody... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-..and asked me -to write the words at once. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-It was a beautiful melody. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-It was difficult -coming up with the words... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
-..but I was suddenly inspired when I -received a letter from my brother... | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
-..who lived in America. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-Lots of Welsh people -emigrated to America back then... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-..in search of work. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-My brother -wanted me to live there too. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-But how could I... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-..with the land of my fathers -so dear to me? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
-How could I leave my beloved Wales, -land of bards and singers? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
-The words flowed easily -when I thought about Wales. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:24 | |
-Is that how the anthem came about? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
-The best anthem in the world. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-And the Welsh nation -still sings my melody. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-And my words. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-We have something to show you. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-It'll come as a shock. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
-Come on! | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |

-What's wrong, Father? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-It's our memorial stone. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-Yours and mine, son. -It's a strange old world. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-And Wales will always remember us. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-I'm so happy. -O may our old language endure! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-Where have they gone? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
