'People talk about goose bumps and hairs standing up on their necks,' says singer Dafydd Iwan.
Dafydd Iwan's Yma O Hyd was written in response to Thatcherism and the unsuccessful Welsh devolution referendum of 1979
The song has cemented its place in the nation's heart, with fans seeking out Yma O Hyd tattoos and art prints bearing the song's title selling fast., it was a very special moment."Singing is an emotional experience anyway, but singing along with 30,000 or whatever it was - it just adds to the emotion and knowing that so many followers of football who don't speak Welsh are so engrossed in this song... it's a tremendous feeling," he said.
The chorus goes: "Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth, Ry'n ni yma o hyd", which translates as "Despite everyone and everything, We're still here"."We've gone through a dark period, we're coming out the other end and we're going to survive."
