Adam Lay Ybounden

Adam Lay Ybounden - Alfred Deller

Adam lay ybounden

Bounden in a bond

Foure thousand winter

Thought he not too long

And all was for an apple

An apple that he tok

As clerkes finden

Wreten in here book

Never had the apple

Taken ben

The apple taken ben

Ne hadde never our lady

A ben hevene quen

Blessed be the time

The apple taken was

Therefore we moun singen

Deo gracias
