Corpus Christi Carol
Ele a tolerou demais , ele a tolerou
Ele a sustentou no chão de um pomar
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
o recém nascido falcão tomou minha colega de mim
E nesse pomar havia um lugar
Que era sustendado por purpura e ouro
E nesse lugar havia um leito
E este estava pendurado com um ouro tão vermelho
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
E nesta cama descansava um cavaleiro
Sua ferida sangra tanto de dia como de noite
Em sua cabeçeira ajoelhava uma donzela
E ela chora tanto de dia como de noite
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
E em sua cabeçeira havia uma pedra
Corpus Christi escrito sob ela
Corpus Christi Carol
He bear her off, he bear her down
he bear her into an orchard ground
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
the falcon hath bourne my mate away
and in this orchard there was a hold
that was hanged with purple and gold
and in that hold there was a bed
and it was hanged with gold so red
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
on this bed there lyeth a knight
his wound is bleeding both day and night
by his bedside kneeleth a maid
and she weepeth both night and day
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
by his bedside standeth a stone
corpus christi written thereon
Benjamin Britten (Jeff Buckley)
