Wales national anthem lyrics and meaning in full as fans goes wild for Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau

Nerves are running high as Gareth Southgate 's England prepares to face Robert Page's Wales in the group stages of the World Cup in Qatar. Both the Welsh national anthem and God Save The King will be belted out across the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium ahead of the 7pm kickoff.

There will only be a few thousand Welsh fans in Doha, but the crowd will go wild, as they did the last time Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau was blasted out. Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, which translates to Land of My Fathers, has three verses, with only the first one commonly sung at sporting events.

During Wales' opening match against USA on November 21, global goosebumps were felt as 3,000 supporters and the Welsh team belted out the country's national anthem.
