Corpus Christi Carol (from A Boy Was Born)
Noël du Corpus Christi (extrait de Un Garçon Est Né)
He
bare
him
up,
he
bare
him
down,
Je
l'ai
porté
haut,
je
l'ai
porté
bas,
He
bare
him
into
an
orchard
brown.
Je
l'ai
porté
dans
un
verger
brun.
Lully,
lully,
lully,
lully
Lully,
lully,
lully,
lully
The
falcon
hath
born
my
make
away.
Le
faucon
a
emporté
mon
bien-aimé.
In
that
orchard
there
was
an
hall,
Dans
ce
verger,
il
y
avait
une
salle,
That
was
hanged
with
purple
and
pall.
Qui
était
ornée
de
pourpre
et
de
tissu
d'autel.
And
in
that
hall
there
was
a
bed,
Et
dans
cette
salle,
il
y
avait
un
lit,
It
was
hanged
with
gold
so
red.
Il
était
orné
d'or
rouge.
Lully,
lully,
lully,
lully
Lully,
lully,
lully,
lully
The
falcon
hath
born
my
make
away.
Le
faucon
a
emporté
mon
bien-aimé.
In
that
bed
there
lieth
a
knight,
Dans
ce
lit,
gisait
un
chevalier,
His
woundes
bleeding
day
and
night.
Ses
blessures
saignaient
jour
et
nuit.
By
that
bedside
kneeleth
a
may,
À
côté
de
ce
lit,
s'agenouillait
une
jeune
fille,
And
she
weepeth
both
night
and
day.
Et
elle
pleurait
jour
et
nuit.
Lully,
lully,
lully,
lully
Lully,
lully,
lully,
lully
The
falcon
hath
born
my
make
away.
Le
faucon
a
emporté
mon
bien-aimé.
And
by
that
bedside
there
standeth
a
stone,
Et
à
côté
de
ce
lit,
il
y
avait
une
pierre,
Corpus
Christi
written
thereon.
Corpus
Christi
y
était
écrit.
