Coventry Carol

Lully, lullah, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lully

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
"Bye bye, lully, lully"?

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

That woe is me, poor child, for thee
And ever morn' and day
For thy parting neither say nor sing
"Bye bye, lully, lully"

Lully, lullah, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lully

Coventry Carol

Lulli, lullach, du kleines winziges Kind
Schlaf ein, lulli, lullach

O Schwestern, was sollen wir tun
Um heute diesen zu schützen?
Dies arme Kindlein, für das wir singen
"Schlaf ein, lulli, lullach"?

König Herodes, in seinem Grimm
Hat er an diesem Tag befohlen
Seine starken Männer, vor seinen Augen
Alle jungen Kinder zu töten

O weh mir, armes Kind, um dich
Und jeden Morgen und Tag
Denn beim Abschied weder sagen noch singen
"Schlaf ein, lulli, lullach"

Lulli, lullach, du kleines winziges Kind
Schlaf ein, lulli, lullach
