Dolly at all about lemon has the theme of Christmas for December. Although the song I picked doesn’t actually say Christmas in it it is an old folk Welsh tune that has been popularized around Christmas time. In Welsh it is called Ar Hyd y Nos, which translates to “All Through the Night” in English and I thought I would share it with you. It was one of the songs I sang at The Celtic Festival this last summer. So without further ado….

How beautiful, Jaz…!
What lovely harmony they have… very sweet…!
Thank you Miss C. It was a really hard song to learn, especially singing it in Welsh.
Oh wow; I was going to ask if you sang the English or Welsh version. After hearing it I thought you couldn’t possibly learn to pronounce the Welsh version.
So, wash my mouth with soap: Well done…! That makes it an even greater feat… hahaha… That must have been tough…
LOL yes I did it in 1/2 Welsh and 1/2 english which is called Macronic. I also learned several other songs entirely in Welsh LOL
I can actually play that on the piano
Lovely song!!!
Thank you
I play it on guitar and sing it, and I agree. 
I’m Welsh, my little one goes to a Welsh medium school, and sings this in Christmas concerts.
I really like “away in a manger” in Welsh, it shows off how lovely the Welsh language is.
Great post.
Thank you so much! My family comes from Cowbridge and various other parts of Wales. I love the language, hard though it is!
Oh that’s not that far from where I am!
It is beautiful, if not a mouthful. My little one is fluent in Welsh now, I wish I was! 
Lovely. I would love to go there one day. If I am lucky. I have been learning to sing in the native tongue and boy is it hard!
