Besides him having a point, That piece of text was the start of the Welsh national anthem, and I'm sure (I hope) all Welsh people should have understood that....
Welsh is almost spoken as if you give the text to anyone and say 'read this' , e.g. mae = my and so on :>
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.
