5. Coventry carol

xx

Lully, lulla, 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 do 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 young children to slay.

 

That woe is me,
Poor child for thee!
And every morn and day,
For thy parting,
Neither say nor sing
By by, lully lullay!

Suja, suja, klein kindje klein,
slaap zacht, suja, suja.


O, zusters,
wat kunnen we doen,
om heden deze
arme jongeling te beschermen,

6. Tomorrow shall be my dancing day

xx

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day,
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my plays,
To call my true love to the dance.
Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love.

 

Then was I born of a Virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance:
Then was I knit to man's nature,
To call my true love to my dance.
Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love.

 

In a manger laid and wrapp'd I was,
So very poor this was my chance,
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
To call my true love to the dance.
Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love.

 

Then afterwards baptized I was;
The Holy Ghost on me did glance,
My Father‟s voice heard I from above,
To call my true love to my dance.
Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love.

Morgen zal ik dansen

xx

Morgen zal ik dansen,
ik hoop dat mijn ware geliefde weet
hoe mijn spel te interpreteren,
dat ik mijn ware geliefde ter dans roep.
Zing, o mijn geliefde,
dit heb ik voor mijn oprechte liefde gedaan.

 

Toen werd ik geboren uit een reine maagd,
van haar verkreeg ik het vleselijke
