Original text with translation
Copenhagen Boys' Choir, Enid Simon, Бенджамин Бриттен
Adam lay ybounden
Bounden in a bond
Four thousand winter
Thought he not too long;
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
And all was for an apple
An apple that he took
As clerkës finden
Written in their book
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Né had one apple taken been
The apple taken been
Né had never Our Lady
A been Heaven’s Queen
Blessèd be the time
That apple takèn was
Therefore we moun singen:
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
