Corpus Christi Carol

Canção de Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi Carol

Ele o levou pra cima, ele o levou pra baixo,He bare hym up, he bare hym down,
Ele o levou pra um pomar marrom.He bare hym into an orchard brown.

Lully, lulley, lully, lulley,Lully, lulley, lully, lulley,
O falcão levou meu par embora.The falcon hath born my mate away.

E nesse pomar havia um salão,And in that orchard there was an hall,
Que estava enfeitado com roxo e luto.That was hanged with purple and pall.

E nesse salão havia uma cama,And in that hall there was a bed,
E ela estava adornada com ouro tão vermelho.And it was hangid with gold so red.

Lully, lulley, lully, lulley,Lully, lulley, lully, lulley,
O falcão levou meu par embora.The falcon hath born my mate away.

E sobre essa cama jaz um cavaleiro,And on this bed there lythe a knight,
Suas feridas sangrando dia e noite.His woundes bleeding day and night.

Ao lado da cama, uma donzela se ajoelha,By that bed side kneeleth a may,
E ela chora tanto de noite quanto de dia.And she weepeth both night and day.

Lully, lulley, lully, lulley,Lully, lulley, lully, lulley,
O falcão levou meu par embora.The falcon hath born my mate away.

E ao lado de sua cama há uma pedra,And by his bed side standith a stone,
"Corpus Christi" escrito nela."Corpus Christi" written theron.
