-It's natural -to idealize and romanticize. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-It's understandable... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-..in such a magical place as this. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
-I don't recall hotter summers -than those at Esgair Llyn. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
-I don't recall tastier sandwiches -than Anti Sarah's... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
-..during harvest time. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
-Childhood experiences -are part and parcel of that romance. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
-Some miles -outside the town of Machynlleth... | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-..is a small place called Aberhosan. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Situated near Aberhosan -stood Nantyfyda Farm... | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-..in the Dulas Valley. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
-My brothers and I -would come here on holiday. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
-We'd leave Brynamman -and spend Easter and summer here. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-As children from a Carmarthenshire -coalmining background... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
-..our holidays were spent -in the serenity of Montgomeryshire. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-It was always sunny here. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-Those memories have stayed with me. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-If you went from Nantyfyda to the -farthest end of the Dulas Valley... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
-..to the barren foothills -of Esgair Llyn... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-..you'd find the site -of a former smallholding. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-Nothing remains -of that smallholding today. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-It has been demolished. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-There is very little here -apart from trees and a stream... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
-..but to us, many moons ago, -when it was always sunny... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-..this was heaven. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-We looked forward to coming -to Esgair Llyn more than anything. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-There were trees to climb... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-..and a river. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-Huw Ceredig, my brother, -loved tickling trout. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-I don't recall him -catching much of anything... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-..but he loved -messing about in the river. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-When you cross the river -from Esgair Llyn... | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-..and approach -the mountain pasture... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-..the setting -becomes even more magical. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-You're surrounded by mountains... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-..and there's a serene -and romantic quality about it. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-It's romantic -because of the numerous tales... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-..about Owain Glyndwr and his men... | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-..taking shelter -and fighting in this area. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-Close by is Glyndwr's Way... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-..descending from the Hyddgen, -Dylife and Nant Ddu mountains... | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
-..all the way down into the valley. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-It all adds to the romance, -magic and appeal of Esgair Llyn. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
-When Ray Gravell approached me... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-First of all he sent me -a cassette of The Wolfe Tones... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
-..singing Fields of Athenry. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-Then he phoned me, saying, "You have -to write Welsh words for this song." | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
-I could see what he meant. -It's an incredible tune. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-It was as if Ray could sense... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-..that it would develop -into a second anthem for Ireland... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-..which it did become, in -the context of rugby and football. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-Esgair Llyn -instantly sprang to mind. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-I can't explain why. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
-It might have had -something to do with the fact... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-..that Ray Gravell himself -could empathize with Glyndwr. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-Or perhaps Esgair Llyn -sprang to mind as the place... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-..which embodies -that feeling of Welshness for me. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
-This is where -the heart of Wales beats. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-"When I return, I'll see photographs -of yesteryear all around | 0:04:42 | 0:04:48 | |
-"And remember the fun -of harvesting straw in the heat | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
-"The old community has gone... | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-"..and the memories of a lifetime -are carried on the wind... | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
-"..in Esgair Llyn." | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
-Whenever I write a song, -it has to pass a certain test. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-When I sing it in its entirety, -to myself, that is... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-..if tears well in my eyes, I know -there's something in that song. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-It may sound strange but it doesn't -necessarily have to be a sad song. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:27 | |
-But it has to -strike a chord in my heart... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
-..or even in my soul. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-If you do that, -then usually it makes you cry. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-Even if the song -is performed in public... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-..if the ambience is conducive, -tears well in the eyes then too. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
-They aren't always tears -of longing or sadness. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-They can be tears -incurred by a feeling or an emotion. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-I think there's a distinct -connection between Esgair Llyn... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
-..and Ray Gravell... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-..because Ray was a person -who was sensitive to the core... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-..and liked music and poetry -that pulled on the heart strings. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
-Esgair Llyn is situated -on the Nantyfyda estate. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-Nantyfyda was my mother's home. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-Mam was a strong influence -on my brothers and I. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-Mam was a teacher -more than anything. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-She tried her best -to teach us to play the piano. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
-She had very little success. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-But she taught us -to appreciate music. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
-Influenced by the chapel, -the Band of Hope and eisteddfodau... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
-..we had our fair share of folk, -choral and harmonic singing... | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
-..and reading sol-fa and so on. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
-My mother is to thank for -igniting that love of music in us. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
-Mam was a staunch nationalist too. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-She was head over heels committed -to the Welsh language. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |

-# In Esgair Llyn | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-# It's peaceful now # | 0:07:18 | 0:07:24 | |
-The idea of retiring -from singing... | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-..is an interesting notion... | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-..because -back in the amateur days... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
-..people sang because it came from -the heart and they enjoyed singing. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
-There was no mention of retiring... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-..but because -it's now turned professional... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-..there is talk of -the final concert... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
-..of retiring and of giving it up. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-It's a problem. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-Personally, when I sing... | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-..I have the best time of my life. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
-Every performer feels the same way. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-When things are going well on stage -and the audience is responding... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
-..and everything falls into place... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-..there's no feeling like it, -and it's hard to give up. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
-When you do give it up, you miss it. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-There have been times in my life -when I haven't sung. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-I've felt lost on a Saturday night. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-I've felt tired and listless. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-I've been apathetic. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
-It's as if the body -yearns for the adrenalin rush... | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-..or the adulation. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-It's an interesting question... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-..why do artists -often carry on for too long? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-I just hope someone will tell me, -"Dafydd, that's enough." | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |

-I like to visit here -on my travels... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-..especially in winter... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
-..because you can be all alone. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-I come -for the peace and tranquillity. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
-If offers solitude. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-But for me, it is a solitude... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-..filled with memories -and associations... | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-..and voices from the past. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-It's impossible -for me to escape Y Cilie. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
-Although there are -family ties with the farm... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-..which were severed -in the 1970s... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-..there is so much mythology -surrounding Bois Y Cilie. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:19 | |
-Their poetry is renowned. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-The poems, -the englynion and cywyddau... | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-So many of them -are inspired by this region... | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-..and in particular, Cwmtydu. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
-It was here that the family -would get together... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-..on special occasions... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-..to celebrate an event... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
-..or to hold -a literary battle of some kind. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-There are many tales about them... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-..swimming back and forth -across the bay in stormy weather. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-If they succeeded, they'd -carve their names on the rock. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-Although the tide -has washed away the names... | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-..this place is filled -with echoes of the past... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-..and the voices of Bois Y Cilie. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-Esgair Llyn and Montgomeryshire... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-..relate to -my mother's side of the family. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-My father, of course... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-..represents this region. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
-My father made sure -I was familiar with Y Cilie. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
-He would bring us here in summer to -meet people like Isfoel and Alun... | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
-..and Jac Alun... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-..and to hear -the poetic way they spoke. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-The Cilie family and Cilie Farm -were linguistically self-sufficient. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:54 | |
-They were self-sufficient culturally -as well as economically. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
-They composed poetry... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-..for fun -rather than for the media. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
-The poetry -was for ordinary folk to enjoy. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-I remember someone -referring to the Cilie family... | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-..as a box of chocolates. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-The chocolate was hard -on the outside with soft centres. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-I think we were -a romantic family too. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-When you consider that -11 family members went to sea... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
-..that also adds to the romance... | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-..coupled with -the romance of the sea. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-My father -was a very interesting character. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-We were similar in many ways. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
-I've certainly -inherited his temper... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-..and his love of words. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
-He ran away to sea at a young age. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
-I joined The Welsh Language Society -at the same age. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
-There's a similarity there. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-He was a seaman for seven years... | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
-..before joining the ministry. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
-We were the four sons of the Manse. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-That's asking for trouble. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:29 | |
-We attended chapel regularly. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-We had to learn Biblical verses. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-We had to go to -the Band of Hope and Sunday school. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-We were happy enough to go. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
-We gained valuable experiences. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
-The four of us were different... | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
-..in the way -we responded to those experiences. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
-I was perfectly happy participating -in the chapel eisteddfodau. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-I enjoyed it immensely. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-My other brothers -weren't so thrilled. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
-Arthur was certainly -not a performer. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-He reacted very unfavourably... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-..when forced to learn verses -every Saturday night. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-He was very reluctant and rebelled -against that family tradition. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
-Huw wasn't interested -in the cultural aspect. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-He excelled in different areas. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
-He went to Llandovery College... | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
-..where he was introduced -to a different world. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
-He was a horse racing fanatic. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-He enjoyed all kinds of sports, -as did all of us. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-Since there were four of us, -we could form two teams... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
-..and played cricket, -football and rugby and so on. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
-There was conflict at times. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-Ministers' sons -are known to misbehave... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-..and if we were caught, -we were chastised. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-We gave people plenty to talk about. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-We certainly weren't angels! | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-But I don't think we were too bad. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-The Lleyn Peninsula -is sometimes confused... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-..with Lleyn. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
-Lleyn refers to the other side, -the land west of Yr Eifl. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
-In the heart of Lleyn... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-..stands the Carn Fadryn mountain. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-When Carn Fadryn wears its hat, -bad weather is on the way. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-The most notable feature of -Garnfadryn village is the mountain. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-An extinct volcano, there are ruins -of a Celtic village at the summit. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:30 | |
-This is Lleyn's focal point -and main geographical feature. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
-It is visible from Y Cilie estate... | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-..on a clear day, of course. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-The mid-1980s... | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
-..was a miserable time -for me personally. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-It was the Thatcher era too, -which didn't help... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
-..and my marriage -finally broke down. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
-I went to live in Caernarfon. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-Apart from the children, -the one thing that kept me going... | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
-..was preaching on a Sunday. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-Garnfadryn was one of the places -I used to visit. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-I fell in love -with the village of Garnfadryn... | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-..a sprawling settlement nestling -on the slopes of the mountain. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
-The chapel -was central to village life... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-..aside from the shop. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-I came here to preach -and met Bethan... | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-..the organist, -who has since become my wife. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-I fell head over heels in love... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-..and we later married in 1988. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
-Since then, Garnfadryn has played -an important part in my life. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
-Bethan has kept in touch... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
-..though she has lost all her -relatives in a short space of time. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
-She's still in contact -with Garnfadryn and Tanygrisiau. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
-When I first got to know Bethan... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-..her Auntie Myra used to -keep the shop and ran the chapel. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
-It was through her -that I got to know Bethan. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-When I first came -to Garnfadryn to preach... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-..there were many young people -in the congregation. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-By getting to know them... | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-..I became aware -of their family connections. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
-Many of them have had to -move away to find work... | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-..or because it's too far to travel. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-That's the challenge... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-..facing a close-knit Welsh-speaking -community such as this. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:11 | |
-They have to deal with -incomers to the area... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-..who often don't speak Welsh... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-..and they have to retain -those native to the area... | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
-..who have to travel -further afield to work. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-Many Welsh communities and villages -have to deal with the same issues. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
-For me, Garnfadryn is certainly -one of three places... | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
-..that mean the most to me. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-When I went to Aberystwyth -University in the early 1960s... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
-..the only way -I can describe it now... | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
-..is that we were paving the way -for The Welsh Language Society. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-It was an exciting time... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-..filled with fervent disputes. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
-When I later moved to Cardiff... | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-..to study architecture, -I missed out on it all. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-I was out of the loop. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-I'd say the battle -is definitely turning nasty. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-At the time, of course... | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-..Swansea and Cardiff students -joined in the protest. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-We arranged buses -to every rally and meeting.... | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-..and travelled the country -from protest to protest. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
-The wheels were in motion -and I was embroiled with that. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
-For me, it was a way -of venting my frustration. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-My songs changed as well. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-They became more political and were -about the battle for the language. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
-I was suddenly -caught up in the campaign. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-For the best part of 10 years... | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-..I was propelled by -The Welsh Language Society's plight. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-There is unity in the ranks -between the Society and... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-In hindsight, -another interesting facet... | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-..was The Welsh Language Society's -relationship with Plaid Cymru. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-Plaid Cymru was anathema -to some members of the Society. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-They wanted nothing to do with Plaid -Cymru and regularly criticized them. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:29 | |
-But I have been a member of both -throughout the years. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
-I see nothing wrong in that. -I didn't see it as a problem. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-Tension arose... | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-..especially -in the 1960s and 1970s... | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-..when the Society launched -a campaign before an election. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
-Gwynfor once lost his seat -because his daughter was in prison. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
-I'm convinced -that in the long term... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-..the campaigning -helped the national cause... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-..and ultimately, Plaid Cymru's. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-What's important -is that we work together... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
-..and embrace change so that -we may face new challenges... | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
-..and new situations. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-The one thing that has thwarted us -throughout the centuries... | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
-..is a readiness -to follow different princes. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
-We veer in different directions -and turn against each other. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
-We have to be united in the cause... | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
-..and, ultimately, we have to -ignore our personal feelings... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
-..for the sake of our nation. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
-At the same time, we must not forget -that the nation... | 0:22:54 | 0:22:59 | |
-..is part of a wider family. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
-I very much hope... | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
-..that my songs... | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
-..echo both those sentiments. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
-We must remain focused -on our national campaign... | 0:23:11 | 0:23:16 | |
-..while striving to keep it -in context with the wider world. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
