PROUD TO BE WELSH.
Only Boys Aloud.
133 BOYS AGE 14-19
A group of young boys growing up in difficult circumstances do something positive with their misfortune. The all boy's Welsh choir was created to give young boys a hope and a purpose in the midst of a despairing economic state. Their performance is so stunning, you might forget to breath!
Watch their angelic performance that left the judges in awe:
Standing Ovation by all.

Calon Lan
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.
(Chorus)

English Translation
I’d not ask a life that’s easy,
Gold and pearls so little mean,
Rather seek a heart that’s joyful,
Heart that’s honest, heart that’s clean

Chorus:
Heart that’s clean and filled with virtue,
Fairer far than lilies white,
Only pure hearts praise God truly,
Praise him all the day and night.

Why should I seek earthly treasures,
On swift wings they fly away,
Pure clean hearts bring greater riches
That for life eternal stay.

Dawn and sunset still I’m searching,
Rising on a wing of song,
Give me Lord, through Christ my Saviour
That clean heart for which I long.
