Calon lân
Nid wyf gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Cytgan:
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,
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
(Cytgan)
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i'r nef ar adain cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
(Cytgan)
gan Daniel James (1848 - 1920) a John Hughes (1872 - 1914)
Pure heart
I don’t ask for a luxurious life,
The world’s gold or it’s fine pearls:
I [only] ask for a happy heart,
An honest heart, a pure heart.
Chorus:
A pure heart full of goodness,
Fairer than the pretty lily:
Only a pure heart can sing
Sing the day and sing the night.
If I were to wish for worldly riches,
It would swiftly go to seed;
The riches of a virtuous pure heart
Will bring eternal profit.
(Chorus)
Evening and morning, my wish
Rising to heaven on the wing of a song
For God, for the sake of my saviour,
Grant me a pure heart.
(Chorus)
