Men Of Harlech

[winchable]

If anyone is familiar with the tune, and the events surrounding it.
Which one do you prefer?

As far as I know there are 3 versions (translated from welsh) one very old, one slightly old and one that was in the film "Zulu"

Oh yeah definetly knew that, good movie though no question. (I'm a member at that site )
Though the version made up for the movie is decent.

I'm talking about the siege of Harlech castle by the Yorkists when the Welshies stood up for as long as they could.
Thats where the song originated I suppose, but there have been numerous versions just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on the reasons for the different versions as well as why/if they had a preference.
