<p>This is Kodály&#8217;s &#8220;Esti Dal&#8221; (Evening Song) performed by the King&#8217;s Singers.  It is possibly my favorite piece of choral music.  Here&#8217;s my own translation of the text:</p>
<blockquote><p>As I lay down for the night by the edge of the woods,<br />
I pull my blanket up to my chin.<br />
I put my hands together,<br />
Thus imploring you, my good Lord</p>
<p>My Lord, grant me a place to stay,<br />
For I&#8217;ve grown tired of wandering,<br />
Of hiding,<br />
Of living in a foreign land</p>
<p>My Lord, grant me a good night<br />
Send me your blessed angel<br />
To give courage to the dreams in our hearts.<br />
My Lord, grant me a good night</p></blockquote>
