Lullay, thou little tiny Child, By-bye lully, lullay. Lullay, thou little tiny Child, By-bye lully, lullay. O sisters too, how may we do For to preserve this day, This poor Youngling for whom we sing By-bye lully, lullay. Herod the King, in his raging, Charged he hath this day; His men of might, in his own sight, All children young, to slay. Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee, And ever mourn and say; For Thy parting nor say nor sing, By-bye lully, lullay.

Lumi on jo peittänyt kukat laaksosessa, Järven aalto jäätynyt talvipakkasessa. Varpunen pienoinen, syönyt kesäeinehen, Järven aalto jäätynyt talvi pakkasessa. Pienen pirtin portailla oli tyttökulta: Tule, varpu, riemulla, ota siemen multa! Joulu on, koditon varpuseni onneton, Tule tänne riemulla, ota siemen multa! Tytön luo nyt riemuiten lensi varpukulta: Kiitollisna siemenen otan kyllä sulta. Palkita Jumala tahtoo kerran sinua. Kiitollisna siemenen otan kyllä sulta! Snow has already covered the flowers in a valley, the comber of a lake frozen in the winter freeze, A sparrow, little one, has eaten the summertime food, the comber of a lake has frozen in the winter freeze. On the stairs of a little cabin there was a dear girl, come, sparrow, with joy, take a seed from me! It is Christmas, homeless my sparrow, miserable, come here with joy, take a seed from me! To the girl the dear sparrow flew joyously: with gratitude I do take the seed from you. The God will want to reward you sometime. With gratitude I do take the seed from you! I am not, my child, a bird from this land, I am your small brother, I came from the Heavens. The tiny seed, that you gave to the poor, the small brother of yours, from the land of the angels, got.

"When He is King we will give Him a King's gifts, Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown, Beautiful robes", said the young girl to Joseph, Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down. Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight, Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold, Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music, Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold. When He is King they will clothe Him in grave-sheets, Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown, He that lies now in the white arms of Mary, Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming, Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold, Mary for love, and for lullaby music, Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem Down.
