Trelawny - the official hymn of Cornwall.

The lyrics and music were written in 1824 by Robert Stephen Hawker. The hero of the song is Bishop Jonathan Trelawny (1650-1721), imprisoned in London's Tower in 1688 for opposing the Jacob II Declaration on Religious Tolerance. The Cornish version

Gans kledha da ha dorn is lel, True lowen the golonn Dear Mywonn Myghtern Jamys fel Pandr’ wrello Kernowyon. Do you order a bus stop? ‘Verow Trelawny bras? Ottomma a mile Mil Gernow All wodhvydh is the kas. ‘Verow Trelawny bras? ‘Verow Trelawny bras? Ottoma of the week mil Gernow A wodhvydh oll an kas!

In-medh the captain, live the woe, Gwas joliv yn mysk chance: "Tour Loundres kyn fe Karrek Loes Y'n delirvsen dehwans. Ni dres Tamar, tyl and dir, An owl new'gan easy; Ha skoedh ryb skoedh, kowetha we, Piw orthyn ni a set? ‘Verow Trelawny bras? ‘Verow Trelawny bras? Ottoma of the week mil Gernow A wodhvydh oll an kas!

Devedhys bys in fos Loundres "See it fair" us and cry; "Dewgh mes, ownegyon oll, dewgh mes, Better two on esowgh hwi! " A melodic avel is a tummy Fast is tight kargharow Knife a mile from Gernowyon Godhvos an ken a vynn. ‘Verow Trelawny bras? ‘Verow Trelawny bras? Ottoma of the week mil Gernow A wodhvydh oll an kas! English version

A good sword and a trusty hand! A merry heart and true! King James's men shall understand What Cornish lads can do! And have they fixed the where and when? And shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why!

chorus And shall Trelawny live? And shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why!

Out spake their Captain brave and bold: A merry wight was he: 'If London Tower were Michael's hold, We'd set Trelawny free! 'We'll cross the Tamar, land to land: The Severn is no stay: With "one and all," and hand in hand; And who shall bid us nay?

chorus

And when we come to London Wall, A pleasant sight to view, Come forth! come forth! ye cowards all: Here's men as good as you. 'Trelawny he's in keep and hold; Trelawny he may die: But twenty thousand Cornish bold Will know the reason why
