Ar Lan y Môr

The song was a favourite of Welsh actor Richard Burton and was sung by Burton and Elizabeth Taylor on the premier episode of The Sammy Davis, Jr. Show on 7 January, 1966. The performance marked the first time the controversial couple had appeared together on TV. "Ar Lan y Môr" has been frequently recorded. Notably, the song features on the first Welsh-language concept album, Endaf Emlyn's Salem (1974). A rendition appears on the only comedy album to top the UK Albums Chart to date, Max Boyce's ''We All Had Doctors' Papers'' (1975). The song also appears on Ar Log's eponymous 1978 debut album, Bryn Terfel's album ''We'll Keep a Welcome'' (2000) and Katherine Jenkins' debut album Première (2004). Adwaith recorded a modern version of the song in 2020. The song is often included in the Last Night of the BBC Proms. ==Words, with English translation==
