coventry carol

loreena mckennitt tarafından da seslendirilmiş isa mesih in çocukluk yıllarının anlatıldığı genelde noellerde seslendirilen bana acı çeken çocukları anımsatan hüzünlü şarkı. sözleri şöyledir

Lully, lullay,* Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
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.

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 ever mourn and say,
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
