Dydd Dewi Sant hapus!

[muckefuck]

O fy ffrind cymreig, Ddewrad, cân "addas i ganu tra'n feddw ofnadwy":

Calon lân, yn llan daioni,
techach yw na'r lili dlos,
dim on calon lââân all canu,
canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos!
[ailadrodd ad nauseam]

Calon lân, yn llan daioni ... dim on calon lââân all canu

llawn, I think: yn llawn daioni. And tecach, and dim ond calon (we'll let "lââân" pass) all ganu.

You're not going to claim dialectal differences here, are you?

Why not? The song is verbatim from Dewrad, who writes the way he speaks to a degree I haven't seen from any other Welsh speaker--and this is a song to sing sloshed! He's been posting lessons in his dialect to the ZBB if you'd like to have a gander at them.
