Welsh language
Welsh (Cymraeg or y Gymraeg, pronounced [kəmˈrɑːɨɡ, ə ɡəmˈrɑːɨɡ]) is a member of the Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages spoken natively in Wales, by some in England, and in Y Wladfa (the Welsh colony in Chubut Province, Argentina). Historically it has also been known in English as "the British tongue", "Cambrian", "Cambric" and "Cymric".
The 2011 UK Census counted 3.1 million residents of Wales. Of these, 73% (2.2 million) reported having no Welsh language skills. In 2011, 27% (837,000) of the total population of Wales were born outside Wales. Of the residents of Wales aged three and over, 19% (562,000) reported being able to speak Welsh, and 77% of these were able to speak, read and write the language (making 431,000 – 15% of the total population). This can be compared with the 2001 Census, in which 20.8% of the population (582,000) reported being able to speak Welsh. In surveys carried out between 2004 and 2006, 57% (315,000) of Welsh speakers described themselves as fluent in the written language.

Gimme Rock
by: MenudoI can spend the whole day listening to the radio
Any radio station playing Rock n' Roll
I don't care whether it's acid, hard or punk
Gimme Rock
When it comes to Rock I never get enough
Make it higher, louder turn the volume up
The only kind of music that I want to hear
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock
Let that fire burn in my soul!
I can see why all the girls go wild and crazy
Why does everybody think they're just plain lazy?
Turn their tears to laughter watch them as they smile
Gimme Rock
I can tune the world out wearing' my headphones
Just as long as I have Rock I'm never alone
Play it from the top again, please don't let it stop
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock
Let that fire burn in my soul!
Just by turning' the dial
I know every band in style
Love songs are fine for some
But for me Rock will always be #1!
I can spend the whole day listening to the radio
Any radio station playing Rock n' Roll
I don't care whether it's acid, hard or punk
