Gans kledha da ha dorn yw lel,

- ‘Verow Trelawny bras?
- Ottoma ugens mil Gernow
- A wodhvydh oll an kas!
Yn-medh an kapten, byw y woes,
Gwas joliv yn mysk kans:
“Tour Loundres kyn fe Karrek Loes
Y’n delirvsen dehwans.
Ni a dres Tamar, tir dhe dir,
An Havren ny’gan lett;
Ha skoedh ryb skoedh, kowetha wir,
Piw orthyn ni a sett?
CYTGAN
- ‘Verow Trelawny bras?
- ‘Verow Trelawny bras?
- Ottoma ugens mil Gernow

Devedhys bys yn fos Loundres
“Gwel teg dhyn” ni a gri;
“Dewgh mes, ownegyon oll, dewgh mes,
Gwell dus on esowgh hwi!”
Trelawny yw avel felon
Fast yn kargharow tynn
Mes ugens mil a Gernowyon
Godhvos an ken a vynn.

A good sword and a trusty hand!
A faithful 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!
CYTGAN
- 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:
Though London Tower were Michael's hold,
We'll 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?
CYTGAN
- And shall Trelawny live?
- And shall Trelawny die?
- Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
- Will know the reason why!
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:
Here's twenty thousand Cornish bold
Will know the reason why
CYTGAN
- And shall Trelawny live?
- And shall Trelawny die?
- Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
- Will know the reason why!
