Only Boys Aloud - Calon Lan & Don't Stop Believing (Now in HD)
Calon Lan
Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân
Gofyn rwyf am calon hapus
Calon onest, calon lân.
Calon lân yn llawn daioni
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos
Does ond calon lân all ganu
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.
Pe dymunwn olud bydol
Chwim adenydd iddo sydd
Golud calon lân rinweddol
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Esgyn ar adenydd cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad
Roddi imi galon lân.
Peidiwch â Rhoi'r Gorau i Credu/Don't Stop Believing
Dim ond merch tref fach
Byw mewn byd unig
Aeth y trên canol nos yn mynd yn unrhyw le
Dim ond bachgen ddinas
Ei eni a'i fagu yn Ne Detroit
Cymerodd y trên canol nos yn mynd yn unrhyw le
Mae cantores mewn ystafell myglyd
Mae arogl o win a persawr rhad
Am gwên gallant rannu y nos
Mae'n mynd ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen
Dieithriaid, aros, i fyny ac i lawr y rhodfa
Mae eu cysgodion chwilio yn y nos
Pobl stryd, yn byw dim ond er mwyn dod o hyd i emosiwn
Cuddio yn rhywle yn y nos
Gweithio'n galed i gael fy llenwi
Mae pawb am gael gwefr
Talu unrhyw beth i rolio'r dis
Dim ond un mwy o amser
Bydd rhai ennill, bydd rhai yn colli
Mae rhai wedi eu geni i ganu y felan
O byth yn y ffilm yn dod i ben
Mae'n mynd ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen
Peidiwch â rhoi'r gorau i gredu
Ddal gafael ar y teimlad
pobl olau stryd

Have listened to this so many times, and it still makes me shiver and cry with musical pleasure❤️. I’m not Welsh, but a 70 y/o Cornishman ,and the voices of these lads are just magical. Thank you lads and Tim

[@morskaj]

You can see the passion shown by the conductor on BGT and all of the members of the choir, beautiful song and beautiful rendition of it. You can see they are all proud of their heritage. Excellent.

[@popazz1]

Absolutely joyful to listen to.These lads can be justifiably proud of themselves.Their enjoyment is obvious to see and it definitely is reflected in their vocals.I'd happily pay good money to go see them in concert.

[@rockraptor616]

Guys I am Cornish,I have visited Wales on many occasions and there is one thing that sticks in my mind more than anything else,how you are all proud of your Language and Heritage,I only wish in Cornish Schools they would teach the Cornish Language as they teach Welsh in Wales. Not only are you a Credit to this Country of ours,you are all a Credit to WALES,but most of all and above all else,YOU ARE A CREDIT TO YOURSELVES.Brilliant Guys.OUTSTANDING. ONAN HAG OL,ONE AND ALL.

This isn't just Only Boys Aloud, the Only Men Aloud guys are there as well helping them out as well. Love them both, adore this song so much it stirs the soul. Only Men Aloud was the last concert I went to before I left Wales in 2010, I took my mam as a treat at Christmas. Keep up the good work boys and pob lwc with BGT.

[@charlie9901]

Loved to hear some of the other singers. What great voices. Congrats to this fantastic group of singers.!!!!!

[@KENNETHSMOM]

I had never heard this song till sung on BGT, but I love it, and can't get it out of my head! Sure wish I could sing it in welsh!? Good Luck and God Bless!

[@bluemoonsy]

I have said it before, and I mean it even more. This organization should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The leadership has made such an impact on each of these young mens' lives and those who experience their singing.

[@LUREDADDY52]

Thank you for Translating it to English it makes it more enjoyable to know now what is being sung, again Thank you.

[@001suncombe]

They made me cry. It was the most beautiful song and they were Amazing!!!!

[@gordonweare308]

- what the Welsh are world famous for - We need them, as the older fella's are getting on a bit. GREAT - Wales is on the comeback... with their massive spiritual music.... I have an olde Welsh hymn book, small, 1830 and has 1,000 Welsh hymns in it ! and they're long one's too ! We need this Welsh music today more than ever...

[@ItalianOrlando]

I absolutely love this choir!! Does anyone know if they've ever sung "Hallelujah"? I bet they'd do a KILLER job of it!!

[@Anna_Stetik]

I was pretty hooked to Jonathon and Charlotte until I saw this. Now, I'm rooting for these boys. They could not have picked a better song to perform...massive fan here in the US.

[@survivrs]

Thanks!! :) I was so impressed with the first time I heard them, I have listened to them over and over and OVER again!! Calon Lan was new to me the first time they did it and I had goosebumps and the hair on my arms was standing straight up. Tim is to be congratulated on the work he continues to do for these young men.

[@DanielBacaMaker]

Okay. All of us English speakers out there. We see there young men (Not boys despite their group name) singing a song we all know..in Welsh...How many of us heard every word still in English? The transcendence of music.

[@DanielBacaMaker]

Daniel Baca I* should have said Singing in Cymric

[@Shindai]

Daniel Baca Cymraeg* but I know what you mean :) Language is funny like that, of course I heard this first in Welsh, but I'm not a Welsh speaker so when I first read the lyrics it was in a dual-language format. So when I hear it I kinda hear it simultaneously in both languages. It helps that it's a stunning song :)

[@talboters44]

Daniel Baca being a Bevan I know that my grandparents must have been Welsh but they did not ever speak Welsh but when I married a fellow born in England whose folks all spoke welsh I asked why they didn teach the children to speak Welsh they said we didnt always want the children to know what we are talking about !!!

[@donaldedward4951]

+talboters44 That is quite silly. Grandparents were punished in school for speaking Welsh and Welsh speakers got the impression it was a low class language perhaps akin to swearing actually it is a beautiful and very expressive language suitable for poetic expression. I only wish I spoke it better.

[@talboters44]

Donald when my mother in law came back on hols from the USA we took her to nth Wales to see her old home whilst there we ate in a local cafe and all folks were speaking in Welsh she got up from the table and tore a strip off some locals for making apparently rude remarks about us they got quite a shock believe you me.When needing visitors to spend cash in ones area you do not insult them.I have been in the hotel business and learnt to speak a few words of each language to make people feel welcome when they came.

[@Belgrythaz]

New swedish fan. I just hope they'll make an album soon. I'd love to listen to more music of this kind.

[@margaretharrison7750]

[@klown2704]

From the southern lands downunder our southern lights will once again align with the northern lights and together they will illuminate in each one of you all that is bloody awesome about being honest, passionate and pure - Only great things come from those who only seek to fulfill there destiny - Yours will be night to remember! All the best from New Zealand.

[@survivrs]

I love listening to Only Boys Aloud but I much prefer their song choices to be Welsh hymns rather than American Rock. I'm from the U.S. and it isn't so much that I don't appreciate their efforts, it's just that I so love to hear them sing the hymns. These young men are incredible!!!

[@jonathoneadie-simcock8095]

Wow! I watched this in awe & wonder, tears rolling down my cheeks. Their families and friends must be very proud as this is just fantastic!! Da Iawn!!

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 goodnessIs 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. (Chorus) 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.

[@BANKO007]

Is that the translation? The words are as beautiful as the music

[@maxyman1719]

they are an inspiration, listening to them, thinking about the youth in Wales (as per their interview on BGT) my heart fills with hope for their futures!!! simply outstanding!!!

[@tejasdatta]

I can never understand a bloody word these boys sing, and what worries me is that it still gives me goosebumps! HOW?

[@stevenmadrigal3110]

Gives you goosebumps because of the musical cord... each human being has a sense of sound... music combines the sound into cords and creates notes.. and with a choir you are listening to many notes and layers... and with layers creates power and sound.. the goosebumps you feel are from you could say the musical layers and resonance in the voices and the layers in the music... its a lot for the mind to take in at once.. and are brains are sensitive... hence why words and music mean so much.

[@donaldedward4951]

Tejas Datta The Welsh love to sing. I mean they really love to sing; it shows.

So why are you even saying something like that? I don't care about your sexuality anymore than I care about theirs. It is rude and hurtful among many other things. Tim and the young men he teaches to sing both melody and harmony are so talented and if I were from Wales, I would be so incredibly proud to have them represent my country. They are awesome singers!!

[@geoffgreenwood1556]

These boys all deserve a fantastic future can someone please give Wales some industry never mind hs2 go to Wales instead

[@Charwoman]

Wonderful, an absolute credit to Wales. I will vote for them on BGT! ;-)

[@donaldedward4951]

They can and do sing in English since they are all bilingual but Calon Lan is a Welsh song one of the many from the vast collection of Welsh poems and songs that of which some people are not aware. This language is derived from the language spoken in Britain 2000 years ago much changed of course (and like those in the rest of Europe) when the Romans and later when the Angles and Saxons arrived on those shores. Not everybody knows this. Thought you might like to though.

[@donaldedward4951]

This was a message to Andri Lindjarv (sorry about the spelling) who complained that the boys were not singing in English.

[@iancarey2697]

Good try ,however, the Welsh language is known to be the oldest European language. You are limiting the date to AD while it is well documented that the Welsh were speaking before the Roman occupation. So try again Donald.

[@donaldedward4951]

Ian Carey Of course. The Celtic tribes that met the Romans in (when was it) 54 BC did not speak the Welsh that we speak today but spoke an antecedent langage from which the Welsh language (Cymraeg) was developed and that is why we Welsh often think speak proudly of our language as Yr Hen Iaith ( the Old Language). The language was influenced by Latin and there are many words that were borrowed from latin for example Ysgol (school), llyfr (book) and many that owe their origin to its Indo-European roots for example plentyn (children) mynydd (mountain). Of course there are many words of Anglo-Saxon origin or Norman French. I find it strange that the Romano-Celtic language of Great Britiain influenced the language of the Anglo Saxons so little and apart from place names in Scotland, Wales and Cornwall have left little trace. As you know before the Roman occupation of Europe the numerous Celtic tribes were spread from the Atlantic Ocean to east to Turkey and from the Rhine River south to the Mediterranean. The invaded Italy at one point and sacked Rome and were believed by the more sophisticated Greeks to be barbarians. I am not a expert philologist but I do find languges fascinating.

[@windstorm1000]

Donald Edward that is fascinating

[@iancarey2697]

The Welsh language is the oldest known European language. Many scholars are still dumb founded by the writings found upon some of the old Celtic crosses.

[@Shindai]

This is how amazing they are at Calon Lan, to my mind: they make Don't Stop Believing seem like the LESS awesome song xD

Great song and choir

[@OrderofStOdhran]

Excellent music. Really talented boys. I always have an interesting reaction to hearing "pop" songs in languages other than English--Welsh, particularly. The language intensifies the experience for me--and I like the Don't Stop Believing song anyway. :)

[@karenbattenbough9253]

Calon Lan in English: 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 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 Rise to heavan on the wing of song, To God, for the sake of my Saviour, Give me a pure heart.

[@wendywilliams3240]

Karen Battenbough Thank you so much for the translation. I was a19 yr old foreign student nurse @ the Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry on the border of England & Wales, when this elderly frail lady who had not spoken for a while gently started to sing Calon Lan this song. Made me cry then, 39 years ago and again today. I was homesick for Dominica. Somehow it soothed me. It was a turning point for me. I now know why. WOW Thanks again Karen. Cymru Ambyth!
