Coventry Carol歌词

Lullay, thou little tiny child,
Sleep well, lullay, lullay.
And smile while dreaming, little one.
Sleep well, lullay, lullay.
Fair well, lullay, lullay.
O sisters, too, what may we do,
To preserve on this day;
This poor youngling for whom we sing?
Sleep well, lullay, lullay.
Fair well, lullay, lullay.
Herod the king, in his raging,
Set forth upon this day;
By his decree, no lives spare he,
All children young, to slay.
All children young, to slay.
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee.
And ever mourn and say;
For thy parting, neither say nor sing,
Fair well, lullay, lullay.
Fair well, lullay, lullay.
And when the stars fill darken skies,
In their far vetchers stay;
And smile as dreaming, little one.
Fair well, lullay, lullay.
Dream now, lullay, lullay.
