Well, let me raise up a little stink. This carol, I don’t believe get’s much play(except in certain places in England and one college in Michigan while processing at the boar’s head festival) and frankly, for good reason. The boar, being of the same family as a pig and guess what, our Savior was most decidedly JEWISH who don’t eat pig, owing to their being deemed unclean. It does seem that those who pursue this ceremony are intent in giving praise back to G-d and for that they ought to be commended, however, they really ought to study their bibles a little more closely and get in touch with G-d and His commandments. https://youtube/watch?v=0x9Zczwsvhw The boars head in hand bring I, (Or: The boars head in hand bear I,) Bedeckd with bays and rosemary. I pray you, my masters, be merry (Or: And I pray you, my masters, merry be) Quot estis in convivio (Translation: As many as are in the feast) CHORUS Caput apri defero (Translation: The boars head I offer) Reddens laudes Domino (Translation: Giving praises to the Lord) The boars head, as I understand, Is the rarest dish in all this land, Which thus bedeckd with a gay garland Let us servire cantico. (Translation: Let us serve with a song) CHORUS Our steward hath provided this In honour of the King of Bliss; Which, on this day to be served is In Reginensi atrio. (Translation: In the Queens hall)
