Original text and translations

Adam lay ybounden, Bounden in a bond; Four thousand winter Thought he not too long.

And all was for an apple, An apple that he took, As clerkès finden Written in their book.

Né had the apple taken been The apple taken been, Né had never our lady Abeen heavené queen.

Blessèd be the time That apple taken was. Therefore we moun singen Deo Gracias!

Blessèd be the time That apple taken was. Therefore we moun singen Deo Gracias!
