Translation of the song lyrics Calon Lan - Fron Male Voice Choir, Cerys Matthews

Calon Lan (original)

Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na’i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu-
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i’r nef ar edyn cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu-
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.
Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na’i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu-
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu-
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.

Calon Lan (translation)

I ask for a happy heart,
An honest heart, a clean heart.
I don't ask for a luxurious life,
World gold or its pearls:
I ask for a happy heart,
An honest heart, a clean heart.
If we wanted worldly riches,
He has an early seed;
The gift of a pure, virtuous heart,
Will bring everlasting profit.
A pure heart full of goodness,
Fairer than the lilly lily:
Only a pure heart can sing-
Singing by day and night.
Late and the morning of my wish
Go to heaven on the wing of a song
For God, for my Savior's sake,
Give me a pure heart.
A pure heart full of goodness,
Fairer than the lilly lily:
Only a pure heart can sing-
Singing by day and night.
I don't ask for a luxurious life,
World gold or its pearls:
I ask for a happy heart,
An honest heart, a clean heart.
A pure heart full of goodness,
Fairer than the lilly lily:
Only a pure heart can sing-
Singing by day and night.
A pure heart full of goodness,
Fairer than the lilly lily:
Only a pure heart can sing-
Singing by day and night.
