This is going to sound a bit random but bear with me…
Last night, I had a tune stuck in my head which I vaguely remembered from my school days. But I could only remember the lyrics to the first line. I googled it, and it was this:
My search prompted me to remember that we sang it in Jambori. This was an event held, I think, around once a year and (junior) school kids from around where I lived (I think only 2nd language Welsh speakers) would congregate in a hall somewhere and sing Welsh songs. I remember it being really fun.
Does anyone know if the Jambori still happens? Does anyone here remember attending one? I went to school in the S Wales valleys so I’ve no idea if it was peculiar to us or something that happened throughout Wales.
Told you it would be a random topic. I’m still not sure why the song popped into my head.
I learned that song so long ago that I don’t know whether I learned it in Brownies/Guides or at at Llangranog with the Urdd because I’ve heard variations on Scout camps since as well in both English and Welsh…
I did a Google on Jambori and found some folk in Carmarthen running sessions for toddlers. I guess they remember what you do! I was toddling round a POW camp in Northants England at that age! My dad helped to run it!
Hello, I plan to use this song as my class entry into our school eisteddfodd. Does anyone know where I can get the tune or the English version of this song? Thank you
