If you have your sound turned on, then the melody may be heard in the background.

The words to the anthem are produced below in English,
together with what I (webmaster) am well informed is the generally accepted Cornish translation.

Trelawny
(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?
Then twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why!

And shall Trelawny live?
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Who'll know the reason why.

Out spake the 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?

And shall Trelawny live?
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Who'll know the reason why.

"And when we come to London wall,
A pleasant sight to view;
Come forth, come forth, ye cowards all,
Here are better men than you.
Trelawny he's in keep and hold,
Trelawny he may die;
But twenty thousand Cornish Bold
Will know the reason why!"

And shall Trelawny live?
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Who'll know the reason why.

Trelawny
(Furv Gernewek)

Gans cledha da yn dorn yu lel

Ottomma ugans myl Kernow
A woffyth oll an cas.
