Calon Lan Pronunciation guide Verse 1

Verse 1
Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân
Meaning:
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.
Sounds like:
nid ooeen gaw veen buh weed moy theece
ire uh bead nigh behr lie man
gaw veen ooeev am gah lawn ha peace
cahlawn awenest cahlawn lan

I have been dying to learn this and I am thrilled with your guides! Hopefully in a couple of months I can sing this! Thank you so much!

[@user-dr3tt2iq5r]

Thank you - love this tune. Hope to learn it myself with your great help

[@TheTomPeeters]

I just discovered this video. Are you sure you're *not* a Welsh speaker? Your pronunciation is about 100% spot on.

Thank you - my choir in Jersey s currently rehearsing this. We do have one Welsh speaking member but I've found it great to be able to listen and learn line by line 0

[@liligibson8457]

Than you so much for teaching us!

[@lukeivanmoro7466]

I love you. You just made it possible for me to sing this song. I first learned about this song from BGT with Boys Aloud.

[@DissonantSynth]

Many thanks for all your great efforts! You have a very bright, beautiful voice

[@arnaudduroyaume9705]

Merci beaucoup. I needed that since a long time ! Excellent tutorial. Thx a lot.
Now I just have to translate in phonetic for French.

[@petermitchison9017]

Do you have any lessons for other Welsh songs. As a recent member to a choir I have found your lessons invaluable

[@corochick100]

Thank you Peter . Sadly not for now - it is very time consuming and I am too busy running 5 choirs and other things which involve lots of prep - unless anyone would like to pay me to do more?!!? Maybe I should set up a Patreon thing?

[@petermitchison9017]

Thank you for the reply

For a long time we haven't see you. I hope you are ok. The pretty women in the picture is like Emel Sayın. 🧡 Loves from İstanbul.

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.
(Chorus)
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i'r nef ar adain cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
