English text
- Lully Lulla, 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 man 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.
- Lully Lulla, thou little tiny child,
- By by lully lullay.
