People, Look East! (Besançon Carol) 歌詞

People, Look East - Alfred Deller/The Deller Consort

Written by:Traditional

People look east the time is near

Of the crowning of the year

Make your house fair as you are able

Trim the hearth and set the table

People look east and sing today

Love the guest is on this way

 

Furrows be glad though earth is bare

One more seed is planted there

Give up your strength the seed to nourish

That in course the flower may flourish

People look east and sing today

Love the rose is on this way

 

Birds though you long have ceased to build

Guard the nest that must be filled

Even the hour when wings are frozen

Thy for fledging time has chosen

People look east and sing today

Love the bird is on this way

 

Stars keep the watch when night is dim

One more light the bowl shall brim

Shining beyond the frosty weather

Bright as sun and moon together

People look east and sing today

Love the star is on this way

 

Angels announce to middle east

People come from the east

Set every peak and valley humming

With the word the Lord is coming

People look east and sing today

 

Love the Lord is on this way
