Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lisa Lan (Welsh)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for Welsh song called 'Lisa
One version, unfortunately with no information as to source, can be seen at these two sites:

Fair Lisa  Welsh lyric, midi.

Lisa Lân  Same Welsh lyric, same midi.

A longer version appears in Peter Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland (1975), with an English translation and some additional verses collected around 1909.  The tune is related to the one used in England for Barbara Allen.
