[1] Welsh consonants sometimes change for grammatical reasons, thus "in Buckingham" ("yn Buckingham") becomes "ym Muckingham". However, this is rarely done with non-Welsh words, so this may have been an intentional pun on "muck" by Iwan.
[2] "Old and young" may convey the meaning better, but the Welsh lyric is literally: "big and small inhabitants".
[3] Scotland is typically "yr Alban" in Welsh, but Iwan uses "Scotland" here.
[4] Tafod y Ddraig (The Dragon's Tongue) is the magazine of Cymdeithas yr Iaith (The Welsh language society) who campaign for support of the Welsh language and people's right to use it. It was published monthly at the time this song was released.
[5] Urdd is a large voluntary youth organisation which runs events, activates, centres, and camps which are run in the medium of Welsh.
[6] Y Cymro (The Welshman) and Y Faner (The Flag) were weekly Welsh-language national newspapers which ran until 2018 and 1993 respectively. The modern equivalent is probably Golwg (View), a weekly current affairs magazine and news website. Y Cymro currently exists as a monthly newspaper.
[7] Dafydd Ap Gwilym is a noteworthy poet of the 14th century.
[8] The Free Wales Army were a group who supported Welsh Independence in the 1960s.
