Coventry Carol Songtext
von [traditional]

Lully, lulla
Thou little tiny child
By by, lully, lullay
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?

Lully, lulla
Thou little tiny child
By by, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
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

Lully, lulla
Thou little tiny child
By by, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay

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

Lully, lulla
Thou little tiny child
By by, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay
