英文乡村歌曲：Kate Rusby - The Holly and the Ivy

（单词翻译）

The holly¹ and the ivy²,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.

CHORUS:
O the rusing of the sun,
And the running of the deer,
The laying of the merry organ,
Sweet singing all in the choir³,

The holly bears a berry,
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus,
To do poor sinners good.

CHORUS

The holly bears a blossom,
As white as lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus,
To be our sweet Saviour⁴.

CHORUS

The holly bears a bark,
As bitter as any gall⁵,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus,
For to redeem⁶ us all

CHORUS

The holly bears a prickle,
As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus,
On Christmas Day in the morn.

CHORUS

Oh the holly bears a flower,
As white as any milk,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
All wrapped up in silk.
