What “Cwsg, Cwsg, Fy Nghariad” Means
Wales has a rich tradition of canu gwerin (folk singing) in the Welsh language, and the red dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) is the country’s proud national symbol, found on its flag. This original lullaby borrows both, the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the watchful dragon, in the Welsh language itself.
