Lyrics

[00:21.57] Lullay, thou little tiny child,
[00:25.13] Sleep well, lullay, lullay.
[00:28.41] And smile while dreaming, little one.
[00:32.23] Sleep well, lullay, lullay.
[00:35.71] Fair well, lullay, lullay.
[00:46.24] O sisters, too, what may we do,
[00:50.51] To preserve on this day;
[00:53.90] This poor youngling for whom we sing?
[00:57.59] Sleep well, lullay, lullay.
[01:01.30] Fair well, lullay, lullay.
[01:11.97] Herod the king, in his raging,
[01:15.67] Set forth upon this day;
[01:19.04] By his decree, no lives spare he,
[01:22.71] All children young, to slay.
[01:26.51] All children young, to slay.
[02:20.26] Then woe is me, poor child, for thee.
[02:24.03] And ever mourn and say;
[02:27.62] For thy parting, neither say nor sing,
[02:31.27] Fair well, lullay, lullay.
[02:34.49] Fair well, lullay, lullay.
[02:45.46] And when the stars fill darken skies,
[02:49.28] In their far vetchers stay;
[02:52.78] And smile as dreaming, little one.
[02:56.62] Fair well, lullay, lullay.
[03:00.02] Dream now, lullay, lullay.
