Bro Goth agan Tasow
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2020) |
Bro Goth agan Tasow ("Old Land of our Fathers") is one of the anthems of Cornwall sung in the Cornish language. It is sung to the same tune as the Welsh national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. The Breton anthem Bro Gozh ma Zadoù also uses the same tune.[1]
The Song of the Western Men, more commonly known as Trelawny, is often considered to be the Cornish anthem as well, and as in Scotland, opinion is divided on the matter, and there is no official position.[citation needed] Trelawny's words are certainly more widely known amongst Cornish people.[citation needed]
