Calon Lan and chicken curry

Song "Calon Lan" sung by Welsh choir. This will be sung for the Queen on her visit next Thursday.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did. :)

Here are the Lyrics:
Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'I berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Chorus: 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.

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.  -Written By Daniel James

An amazing song indeed!

On the personal side of things, I'm feeling much better today. I again am back to eating my favorite mexican chicken sandwich from Gregg's.I've had at least 4 since I've been here.  I also went shopping at Tesco's, picked up a wardrobe, and dropped off a massive amount of clothes to be donated. After all of this strenuous labor, I had a delicious helping of chicken curry for tea (evening meal). Now I must catch up on my Bible reading plan, and get some sleep.

God Bless and goodnight to you all!

-David
