Текст песни The Holly and the Ivy (1985 Remastered Version) - King's College Choir, Cambridge feat. Sir David Willcocks

The Holly and the Ivy
When both are full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
The Holly bears the crown

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The Holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The Holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
