Oxford St. Peter's Choir - Coventry Carol: Lully, Lullay Thou Little Tiny Child - translation of the lyrics into German




Coventry Carol: Lully, Lullay Thou Little Tiny Child
Coventry Carol: Stille, Stille, Du Kleines Kindchen
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
Stille, Du kleines Kindchen,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Schlaf, schlaf, stille, stille.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
Stille, Du kleines Kindchen.
By, by, lully, lullay.
Schlaf, schlaf, stille, stille.
O sisters, too, how may we do,
O Schwestern, sagt, was sollen wir tun,
For to preserve this day;
Um diesen Tag zu bewahren?
This poor Youngling for whom we sing,
Für dieses arme Kindlein, für das wir singen,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Schlaf, schlaf, stille, stille.
Herod the King, in his raging,
König Herodes, in seiner Wut,
Charged he hath this day;
Hat er befohlen heut;
His men of might, in his own sight,
Seine Mannen von Macht, vor seinem Angesicht,
All children young, to slay.
Alle jungen Kinder, zu töten.
Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
So weh ist mir, armes Kind, um Dich,
And ever mourn and say;
Und immer trauern und sagen;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
Denn Dein Abschied, weder sagen noch singen,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Schlaf, schlaf, stille, stille.
