Adam lay ybounden Songtext
von Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, Stephen Cleobury

Adam lay ybounden
Bounden in a bond
Four thousand winter
Thought he not too long

And all was for an apple
An apple that he took
As clerkes finden written
In their book


Ne had the apple taken been
The apple taken been
Ne had never Our Lady
A-been heaven′s queen

Blessed be the time
That apple taken was
Therefore we may singen
Deo gratias
Deo gratias
