This ae nighte, this ae nighte, Every nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, And Christe receive thy saule. When thou from hence away art past, Every nighte and alle, To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule. If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon, Every nighte and alle, Sit thee down and put them on; And Christe receive thy saule. If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane Every nighte and alle, The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane; And Christe receive thy saule. From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass, Every nighte and alle, To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule. From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass, Every nighte and alle, To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule. If ever thou gavest meat or drink, Every nighte and alle, The fire sall never make thee shrink; And Christe receive thy saule. If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane, Every nighte and alle, The fire will burn thee to the bare bane; And Christe receive thy saule. This ae nighte, this ae nighte, Every nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, And Christe receive thy saule. Traduzione in inglese moderno (Doug Johnson) This night, this night, -- Every and all nights Fire and flame and candle light And Christ receive your soul When you are past here -- Every and all nights To Whinny Moor you'll come at last And Christ receive your soul If ever you gave socks or shoes -- Every and all nights Sit yourself down and put them on And Christ receive your soul But if socks and shoes you gave no one -- Every and all nights And Christ receive your soul When (if) you have passed Whinney Moor -- Every and all nights To the Bridge of Dread you'll come at last And Christ receive your soul When (if) you have passed the Bridge of Dread -- Every and all nights To the flames of Purgatory you'll come at last And Christ receive your soul If you ever gave food or drink -- Every and all nights The fire will never affect you And Christ receive your soul If you never gave food or drink -- Every and all nights The fire will burn you to the bone And Christ receive your soul This night, this night -- Every and all nights Fire and flame and candle light And Christ receive your soul
