Chorus
English Translation
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.
Chorus A pure heart is full of goodness, More lovely than the pretty lily: Only a pure heart can sing - Sing
day and night.
If I wished worldly wealth, He has a swift seed; The riches of a virtuous, pure heart, Will be a perpetual
profit.
Late and early, my wish Rises on the wing of song, For God, for the sake of my Saviour, To give me a pure
heart.
Lyrics Without The Chords
Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus, Aur y byd na’i berlau
mān: Gofyn wyf am galon hapus, Calon onest, calon lān.
Chorus Calon lān yn llawn daioni, Tecach
yw na’r lili dlos: Dim ond calon lān all ganu – Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.
Pe
dymunwn olud bydol, Chwim adenydd iddo sydd; Golud calon lān, rinweddol, Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Hwyr
a bore fy nymuniad Esgyn ar adenydd cān Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad, Roddi i mi galon lān.
