Duration: 2 min 37 s
Description: Eighth track from Pale Tape - 2023 Remake.

This is a cover of an old Django Reinhardt tune that I learned from David Grissman's version. My friend Chris Maness was kind enough to play the first and second solos, while I took the third with my mandolin. He's incredibly talented and I'm always extremely happy with what we produce when we work together. I used to play this in an old band I was in called Confluence. It's a fun one and we hope you enjoy it!

Art is valuable because it “creates little worlds of its own…in the bosom of this disordered planet”, but those little worlds have no necessary impact on the great world; they may exist only as sanctuaries of private consolation. (Wilfred Stone, commenting on E.M. Forster's quote)

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,
Chwim adenydd iddo sydd,
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.

Chorus

Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Esgyn ar adenydd cân,
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.

Chorus

English

I  do not ask for a luxurious life,
The world’s gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart,
A truthful heart, a pure heart.

Chorus:
A Pure Heart, that’s full of goodness,
Fairer than the delicate Lily:
Only a pure heart can sing,
Sing the day and sing the night.

Chorus

If I desired worldly riches,
It would swiftly go to seed:
The riches of a virtuous, pure heart,
Will reap eternal profit.

Chorus

Late and morning my wish,
Rising to heaven on the wing of song,
So to my God for the sake of my saviour,
Give to me a pure heart.

Calon Lân (@ rehearsals with Helen Roberts And Sean Evans)
