McKennitt, Loreena - Coventry Carol Lyrics
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child
By by, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay
O sisters too, how may we do
This poor youngling
For whom we do sing
By by, lully lullay?
Herod, the king
In his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might
In his own sight,
All young children to slay
That woe is me
Poor child for thee!
And ever morn and day,
For thy parting
Neither say nor sing
By by, lully lullay!

McKennitt, Loreena Coventry Carol Comments
Exceptional Xmas music. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!
TQ MLC
Wouldn’t be XMas without LMckennitt. She brings home the true spirit of Christmas, Pure gold!👏👏👏
A lovely carol about a horrific incident (the slaughter of the Holy Innocents by Herod.) And Loreena's version is one of the best.
Chattchitto RG sent me here.
ME too.

Her voice is like bright steel covered in thick velvet. Ugh, I love it.
Very lovely 😊
nice music
Eden's Bridge version is better.
Suricatamigo Ummm... Maybe.
We all have different tastes and opinions. Personally I prefer to Loreena's version. I think the instrumentation is more natural sounding and less engineered and there is a quality to Loreena's voice that give the song that old world charm that sort of takes you back to that place & time. I can certainly see why one would like the Eden's Bridge version though - she also has a very beautiful voice with a pronounced Irish lilt that I also like very much. Merry Christmas!
Very nice voice!
she is just amazing...
A song from so so long ago... .. It is hauntingly beautiful , at christmas time ! <3
love her soooo much!!! her voice mesmerises me...
