Songtexte Adam Lay Ybounden - Sir David Willcocks , Choir of King's College, Cambridge

Adam lay ybouden
Bounden in a bond
Four thousand winter
Thought he not too long

And all was for an apple
An apple that he took
As clerkës finden
Written in their book

Nor had one apple taken been
The apple taken been
Then had never Our Lady
A-been heaven's queen

Blessed be the time
That apple taken was
Therefore we may singen
Deo gratias!
