Spotify: iTunes: ân-single/1611124046 #calonlan #classicalsinger #wales 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. Pe dymunwn olud bydol, Chwim adennydd iddo 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 Esgyn ar adennydd 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. English translation from FelinFach: I don’t ask for a luxurious life the world’s gold or its fine pearls, I ask for a happy heart, an honest heart, a pure heart. A pure heart full of goodness Is fairer than the pretty lily, None but a pure heart can sing, Sing in the day and sing in the night. If I wished for worldly wealth, It would swiftly go to seed; The riches of a virtuous, pure heart Will bear eternal profit. (Chorus) Evening and morning, my wish Rising to heaven on the wing of song For God, for the sake of my Saviour, To give me a pure heart. Spanish translation sung in Patagonia: Yo no pido vida ociosa, Perlas ni un galardón: Pido un corazón alegre, Un honesto corazón. Calon lân yn llawn daioni, Tecach yw na’r lili dlos: Dim ond calon lân all ganu Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos. Si quisiera la riqueza, Pronto pierde su valor; Más un corazón bien limpio, Cada día es mejor. (Chorus) Mi plegaria día y noche, La elevo al Señor, Solo pido al Dios clemente, Un honesto corazón. (Chorus)
