High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yma o Hyd (Welsh:Still Here) is a patriotic song in the Welsh language released by Dafydd Iwan in 1981. The historian and politician Dr. Gwynfor Evans is said to have given him the idea for the song. It is very popular with Welsh folk music fans and widely considered second only to Hen Wlad fy Nhadau (the official national anthem of Wales). The lyrics of the song recall the achievements of the Romano-British imperator Macsen Wledig who is chiefly remembered for leaving the shores of Britannia in 383AD to claim the throne of the Romans. The song proudly proclaims Ry'n ni yma o hyd, er gwaetha pawb a phopeth which translates as "We're still here, despite everyone and everything." It also celebrates the continuing survival of the Welsh people and their language "until the Last Judgement" - a reference to a famous conversation recorded by Gerald of Wales between King Henry II of England and an elderly Welshman during one of his campaigns in the 12th century.
