Monday, 11th December

My a gar an curl Nadelik ma. My a gavas treylyans en Kernôwek Ûnyes, nena res veu dhebm chanjya radn an spellyans. 

I love this Christmas carol. I found a translation in Unified Cornish, then I had to change some of the spelling.

Silent Night Nos Taw 

Taw ew an nos; sans ew an nos; 

Silent is the night; holy is the night, 

Oll en còsk, oll heb tros, 

Everything sleeping, all without noise, 

Lebmyn, ow colyas en crow, ott an dhew, 

Now, keeping watch in a shed, behold them both 

Gwerhes ha’y meppik wheg, crüllyes y vlew, 

Virgin and her dear little son, with curly hair, 

Gòrtos en còsk cres a Nev. Gòrtos en còsk cres a Nev. 

Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. 

 

Taw ew an nos; sans ew an nos; 

Gwelyn bügoledh ow mos 

We see shepherds going 

Ow clowes nowodhow pur dha, 

Hearing very good news, 

Keur a Nev a gan alleluya; 

A heavenly choir sings alleluya 

Crist an Dasprenyas re dheuth. Crist an Dasprenyas re dheuth 

Christ the Redeemer has come. Christ the Redeemer has come 

Taw ew an nos; sans ew an nos; 

Üdn mab Duw, ott, ow tos 

Only son of God, behold, coming 

Dhort dha anow kerenja ema; 

From thy mouth love there is: 

Pres agan sylwans ew en eur-ma, 

Time of our salvation is now, 

E'th genesigeth A Crist. E'th genesigeth A Crist 

In your birth O Christ. In your birth O Christ.
