Lyrics and translation Gregorian - Coventry Carol




Coventry Carol
Coventry Carol
Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
Dors, dors, petit Enfant,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Dors, dors, lullaby.
O sisters too, how may we do,
O mes sœurs, comment pouvons-nous faire,
For to preserve this day
Pour préserver ce jour
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
Ce pauvre jeune enfant pour qui nous chantons
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Dors, dors, lullaby.
Herod, the king, in his raging,
Hérode, le roi, dans sa fureur,
Charged he hath this day
A chargé ce jour-là
His men of might, in his owne sight,
Ses hommes forts, à sa vue,
All young children to slay.
De tuer tous les jeunes enfants.
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!
Que ce malheur est grand pour toi, pauvre Enfant !
And ever mourn and sigh,
Et je ne cesserai de pleurer et de soupirer,
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
Car ton départ ne me laisse ni parler ni chanter,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Dors, dors, lullaby.
Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
Dors, dors, petit Enfant,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Dors, dors, lullaby.
