Ar Lan y Môr

"Ar Lan y Môr" ("On the Seashore") is a traditional Welsh folk love song. A single verse was published by the Welsh Folk Song Society in 1937, and again (recorded from another singer) in 1948. A slightly different version was recorded by the BBC in 1953. Extra verses have been added, mostly from the 'Hen Penillion' (Old Stanzas).

"Ar Lan y Môr" has been frequently recorded. Notably, the song features on the first Welsh-language concept album, Endaf Emlyn's Salem (1974). A rendition appears on the only comedy album to top the UK Albums Chart to date, Max Boyce's We All Had Doctors' Papers (1975). The song also appears on Ar Log's eponymous 1978 debut album, Bryn Terfel's album We'll Keep a Welcome (2000) and Katherine Jenkins' debut album Première (2004).
