I hope you enjoy my solo mandola arrangement of Calon Lân, the traditional Welsh hymn that has become a popular anthem for sporting events and has even been sung in political protest.

Lyrics:
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.

I like this tune alot, but I can only find the music for the first part. Where can I find the "B" and "C" parts?
Nicely done!
Who built your mandolin, it has a great tone?

[@colinbotts]

The mandola was built by Don Paine of Pomeroy Instruments pomeroyinstruments.com/
I'll try and find the time to write out my arrangement for anyone that's interested in learning to play it.
Thanks so much!
