Kyns Ty Dhe Vos (Before You Go) gans Graham Sandercock
Kernewek English

My a wel dha vos ahanav pell
Ha my ow pos yn kell ha fia ny wonn
Flogh osta: Yma hwans dhis lesa dha
Dhiwaskel, viaja ha gweles an nor

Yth esosta ow mos a’th honan
'Ma edhom a janjyans dhis
Ogh! Mes my, y fynnav gortos omma
Kernow yw heb par y'n bys
Kyn tibertthyn, doro dhymm dha vay
Kyns ty dhe vos

Y'th sywsen vy mar kallen. Warnav vy
Mos genes ty a gri mes ny via kuv
Na vydh fol! Porth kov a bub dydh oll
Pan o an mor mar voll, ha’n ebron mar las

Yth esosta ow mos a’th honan
'Ma edhom a janjyans dhis
Ogh! Mes my, y fynnav gortos omma
Kernow yw heb par y'n bys
Kyn tibertthyn, doro dhymm dha vay
Kyns ty dhe vos

Pan vo gwiw, skrif e-bost, unn po diw
Rag dri dhe'm dydh neb liw ha ty tramor
Lel ha len y fydhav bys dhe'n penn
Ny allav bos nahen hedra ves y’n nor

'Ma edhom a janjyans dhis
Ogh! Mes my, y fynnav gortos omma
Kernow yw heb par y'n bys

Kyns ty dhe vos dhe-ves
Kyns ty dhe vos dhe-ves
Kyns ty dhe vos dhe-ves
Kyns ty dhe vos

I can see that you are distant from me
While I am in a cell not knowing how to escape
You are a child; you long to spread your wings
To travel and see the world

You are going off on your own
You need a change
Oh! But I want to remain here
Nothing in the world compares to Cornwall
Though we part, kiss me
Before you leave

I would follow you If I could
You plead with me to go with you, but it wouldn’t be kind.
Don’t be foolish; remember each and every day
When the sea was so clear, the sky so blue

You are going off on your own
You need a change
Oh! But I want to remain here
Nothing in the world compares to Cornwall
Though we part, kiss me
Before you leave

When the time’s right, write me one or two e-mails
To bring some colour to my day while you’re abroad
Loyal and true I shall be to the end
I can be nothing else while you’re in the world

You are going off on your own
You need a change
Oh! But I want to remain here
Nothing in the world compares to Cornwall

You are going off on your own
You need a change
Oh! But I want to remain here
Nothing in the world compares to Cornwall
Though we part, kiss me
Before you leave
Before you leave
Before you leave
Before you leave
