Traditional - Once, as I remember - текст песни (слова)

1. 
 
Once, as I remember,
 At the time of Yule,
 After midDecember,
 When it bloweth cool,
 I o'erheard a Mother
 Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,
 Lalullaylu,
 Lullay lalu."
 2. 
 
Near as man was able,
 On my knee fell I,
 In the Bethlem stable
 Where the babe did lie,
 And the Virginmother
 Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,
 Lalullaylu,
 Lullay lalu."
 3. 
 
Ox and ass around him,
 Courtierlike, did stand:
 Fair white linen bound him,
 Spun by Mary's hand,
 While the Virginmother
 Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,
 Lalullaylu,
 Lullay lalu."
 4. 
 
Ever among and o'er us
 Angelquire 'gan sing
 Antiphons in chorus
 To the newborn King.
 Then the Virginmother
 Fell asinging "Sweet Jesu,
 Lalullaylu,
 Lullay lalu."
