0:03:09 > 0:03:12- If I'd only known he was singing - the following weekend...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- ..I might not have bothered!

0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Do some of you remember schooldays? - Most of you are probably too old.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49- A few of you maybe.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Do you remember the semolina? - I do, too well.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- At least there was jam - in the middle.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- There was a jam sponge - with white stuff on top.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Coconut or cocaine, - I'm not sure which!
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- It made us go silly.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- You'd have pink custard - on special occasions.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Do you remember it? - It made me doolally.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21- It was full of sugar.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Then at playtime, - we'd play kiss chase.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Do you remember that? - I wasn't very fast, unfortunately.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- But here I am, compering Noson Lawen - for the fourth time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- I've bought a new suit too. - Do you like it?

0:29:53 > 0:29:56- But I've now got married, - and have a child and a dog.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- So I'm a nobody now! - I've gone down the ladder very fast!
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- You realize who you are after - getting married and having children.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Only one child in my case, - before I put my foot in it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Really. Really.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- I'm struggling with a few things - after having a child.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- I've had to learn how to share. - I'm rather selfish.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- I don't like to share, - especially food.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- When I have a takeaway and I ask - the wife what she fancies...
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- ..she'll say, "We'll share."
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- If you want a chicken chow mein, - order and eat it yourself.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35- Don't eat half of mine!
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- They like to eat some of your chips - or some of your pizza.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41- It drives me nuts!
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- With chocolates and cakes, - I hide what I can...
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- ..in the back of the cupboard - so no-one can see them.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- As soon as I put some chocolate - in my hand or mouth...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- ..my daughter will be beside me - gazing into my eyes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- "You want it." "Yes."
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- Cute. Then I think I'm the best dad - in the world for giving it to her.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Then she'll take two steps - and drop it on the floor.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- You know the ten-second rule - to pick it up before it goes bad?
0:31:12 > 0:31:17- You dive on the carpet - but the terrier beats you to it!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Well, it's my pleasure - and privilege...
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- ..to welcome Dafydd Iwan - back to the stage.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- Dafydd Iwan used to love - spending his summer holidays...
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- ..with his uncle on the farm - in Aberhosan in the Dyfi Valley.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- Those memories inspired him to write - the superb lyrics in Esgair Llyn.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- Esgair Llyn is the Welsh version - of Fields Of Athenry.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- The inspiration was Ray Gravell.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- He sent me a tape of The Wolfe Tones - singing Fields Of Athenry.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Ray loved Irish songs.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- He really loved Fields Of Athenry.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- He seemed to know - that it would become...
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- ..like a second anthem for Ireland.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- He said on the phone, "Dafydd, you - must write Welsh words for this."
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- I adored the melody.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- It's a wonderful melody.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- The place that came to my mind - as I listened to it was Esgair Llyn.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- I used to go on holiday to my - uncle and aunt's farm in Aberhosan.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Esgair Llyn was a ruin on the farm.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- It was a historic place - in a wonderful location.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- Glyndwr's Way passed through it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- It was a wonderful place for a - young person to spend his holidays.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- I'd leave the coalfields - of Brynamman...
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- ..for Montgomeryshire.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- That's the place - that came to my mind.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- I wrote three verses summing up - what Esgair Llyn means to me.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- We all have - an Esgair Llyn somewhere.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- A place, usually in the countryside, - which conveys so much...
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- ..and which conveys - what Wales means to us.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- I enjoy singing the song...
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- ..because of the words - and its association with Grav...
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- ..and the wonderful melody.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- # Every morning long ago
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- # Life's daily pattern - started with the dawn
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- # The ancient paths - were there to guide our way
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- # Every day, a brand-new day
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- # No barriers in our way
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- # Life's pattern - was so clear in Esgair Llyn
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- # It's quiet
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- # Nowadays in Esgair Llyn
0:34:09 > 0:34:15- # When once upon a time - I learned life's song
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- # But blood rushes in my veins
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- # And the song, it still lives on

0:34:27 > 0:34:29- # In Esgair Llyn
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- # And now when I return
0:34:35 > 0:34:40- # The images of yesterday loom clear
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- # With memories of fun - making hay in the sun
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- # Though the olden days have gone
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- # The wind, it whistles on
0:34:57 > 0:35:02- # With memories of days gone by - in Esgair Llyn
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- # It's quiet

0:35:37 > 0:35:43- # My roots are tugging strongly - beneath my feet
0:35:45 > 0:35:51- # The song of my forefathers - stirs my blood
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- # And on this ancient land
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- # I see a guiding hand
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- # Which beckons - to tomorrow's Esgair Llyn
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- # It's quiet
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- # Nowadays in Esgair Llyn
0:36:14 > 0:36:20- # Where once upon a time - I learned life's song
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- # But the blood rushes in my veins

0:40:28 > 0:40:32- A man cursed us - for writing that song.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- A child had gone - into his father's drawer...
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- ..and cut a hole in all his pants!

0:41:13 > 0:41:15- So I won't be able to fool you.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17- Who are they?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- A group of farmers - who stink of silage.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Those who don't farm - still stink of silage.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29- They stand close to each other so - the smell goes from one to the next.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- I remember - our first choir rehearsal.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- The first copy we had in our hands - was O Iesu Mawr (great Jesus).
0:41:36 > 0:41:41- That was the name of the song and - probably what everyone was thinking!
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Aled Myrddin has performed miracles. - I'm proud to be a member.
