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)
