A land of rugged mountainsA land of finest slateThe sound of rushing riversGives us cause to celebrate.
A land of ancient forestsGreen valleys, grazing sheepGives the people of St DavidA land they wish to keep.
Follow the red dragon flagIn parades led by Welsh bandsRaise voices in the choirsTo salute this lovely land
For here in Wales, or far awayThe Welsh remember stillAnd on St David’s day with prideWear leek or daffodil
