Calon Lan
Some notes on the history of the song, the poet Daniel James and composer John Hughes … https://www.felinfach.com/pages/calon-lan-lyrics
And the Wikipedia entry for the song … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calon_L%C3%A2n
Calon Lân lyrics – Welsh with English translation
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,
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i’r nef ar adain cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
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.
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.

Calon Lan (Simon’s phonetics)
Nid win go-vin bah-wid moy-thiss
Eye-ra-bede nye bare lie maan
Go-vin oy vaam ga-lon har peace
Calon honest calon lan
Chorus:
Calon lan un klown die-or-nee
Tairk-ad-ewe nar lily’d-los
Deer-mond calon lan ath gar-nee
Car-neer deeth a ckar-neer norse
Bear dare me nyoon orlid bar-dol
Air dare me n’ya lan-loh sheethe
Go-lid calon lan n’win where-bull
And win bar-lo air-loo veeth
Hoy-ra boy ra ven a min waad
Boy deer meh a rah dine ca-arn
Ah ree vehre where moyne the min braad
Cah ree leer thee calon lan

A link to a slow lesson on the pronunciation of the Welsh lyrics (this clip leads on to further clips with the other verses), then a couple of Youtube clips with Luke Evans singing two versions, the 2nd with the big backing choir …

The parts with moving score
Note that the form of these practice tracks is NOT as we are performing the piece, ie. these have a different sequence of repeats. Also, the lyrics of the second verse don’t show. So, good for getting the shape of your parts, but keep yourself flexible.
