Coventry Carol

Coventry Carol
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
By, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters, too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day;
This poor Youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All children young, to slay.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Coventry Carol
Lullay, du kleines, zartes Kind,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, du kleines, zartes Kind,
By, by, lully, lullay.

O Schwestern, sagt, wie fangen wir’s,
Diesen Tag zu bewahr’n;
Das arme Kind, dem wir nun singen,
By, by, lully, lullay.

König Herodes, voller Wut,
Gab heute streng den Befehl,
Dass seine Krieger brutal morden
Alle jungen Kindlein schnell.

Drum weh mir, armes Kind, um dich,
Immer klag’ ich und sag’:
Für dein Scheiden, o sing’ ich leise,
By, by, lully, lullay.
