Does any one know the lyrics to the song "Men of Harlech" that was sung by the defenders before the final attack in the film "Zulu"? I'd also like to know the history of it as well. I found this scene to be one of the most compelling of the movie even though it was probably historically innacurate.

here is the Version sung by the defenders of Rorkes Drift in the film Zulu

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior's pendants streaming
To this battle field.
Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Stand and never yield.
From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all to Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding.
Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep this fighting words before ye
Welshmen will not yield.
