Go to the links page for this site, and look under 'Men of Harlech', I think that's what you're looking for.

Feel free to add this version to the website if you like. | 6th August 2002 | Robin Men of Harlech stop you're dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming?
See their warrior's pennants streaming?
To this battlefield
Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It can not be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Welshmen never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let this warcry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call, the mighty force surrounding.
Men of Harlech unto glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these furling words before ye
Welshmen will not yield
