Lyrics:
1. Verse:
Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously;
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company.
Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves.
2. Verse:
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou would'st crave;
I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have.
Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves.
Chorus Choir solo:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves.
3. Verse:
Greensleeves now farewell, adieu
God I pray to prosper thee
For I´m still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Chorus:
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my lady Greensleeves

"I have always been very keen to try to sing original music from many countries in the world, not only the classic countries in music like Italy, France, England, Germany and Austria, but also from more exotic countries."

[@dmitryk9676]

Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company. Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity. Chorus I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, I have both wagered life and land, Your love and good-will for to have. Chorus If you intend thus to disdain, It does the more enrapture me, And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity. Chorus My men were clothed all in green, And they did ever wait on thee; All this was gallant to be seen, And yet thou wouldst not love me. Chorus Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, but still thou hadst it readily. Thy music still to play and sing; And yet thou wouldst not love me. Chorus Well, I will pray to God on high, that thou my constancy mayst see, And that yet once before I die, Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. Chorus Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me.

Greensleeves Lyrics Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company. Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. Alas, my love, that you should own A heart of wanton vanity, So must I meditate alone Upon your insincerity. (Chorus) Your vows you've broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity. (Chorus) If you intend thus to disdain, It does the more enrapture me, And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity. (Chorus) I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, I have both wagered life and land, Your love and good-will for to have. (Chorus) Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, But still thou hadst it readily. Thy music still to play and sing; And yet thou wouldst not love me. (Chorus) I bought thee kerchiefs for thy head, That were wrought fine and gallantly; I kept thee at both board and bed, Which cost my purse well-favoredly. (Chorus) I bought thee petticoats of the best, The cloth so fine as it might be; I gave thee jewels for thy chest, And all this cost I spent on thee. (Chorus) Thy smock of silk, both fair and white, With gold embroidered gorgeously; Thy petticoat of sendal right, And these I bought thee gladly. (Chorus) My men were clothed all in green, And they did ever wait on thee; All this was gallant to be seen, And yet thou wouldst not love me. (Chorus) They set thee up, they took thee down, They served thee with humility; Thy foot might not once touch the ground, And yet thou wouldst not love me. (Chorus) 'Tis, I will pray to God on high, That thou my constancy mayst see, And that yet once before I die, Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. (Chorus) Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me. Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves.

Alas, my love, you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you well and long Delighting in your company. ああ愛する人よ、残酷な人 あなたはつれなく私を捨てた 私は心からあなたを慕い そばにいるだけで幸せでした Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady greensleeves. グリーンスリーブスは私の喜び グリーンスリーブスは私の楽しみ グリーンスリーブスは私の魂そのもの 私のグリーンスリーブス、貴方以外に誰がいようか Your vows you've broken, like my heart Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity. 貴方は誓いを破った、私の心のように ああ、なぜ貴方は私をこれほど狂喜させるのか？ 離れた場所に居る今でさえも 私の心は彼女の虜だ I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever you would crave I have both wagered life and land Your love and good-will for to have. 貴方が望むものすべてを差し出そう 貴方の愛が得られるなら この命も土地のすべても差し出そう If you intend thus to disdain It does the more enrapture me And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity. 貴方が私を軽蔑しても 私の心は変わらず貴方の虜のまま My men were clothed all in green And they did ever wait on thee All this was gallant to be seen And yet thou wouldst not love me. 私の家来はすべて緑に身を包み 彼らはこれまで貴方に仕えてきた それらはすべて紳士的で親切だったが それでも貴方は私を愛してはくれない Thou couldst desire no earthly thing but still thou hadst it readily. Thy music still to play and sing And yet thou wouldst not love me. 貴方は世俗的な物を望むことはできない しかし貴方は今もなおそれを進んで得ようとしている 貴方の美しい調べは今もただよい続ける でも貴方は私を愛してはくれない Well, I will pray to God on high that thou my constancy mayst see And that yet once before I die Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. 私は天高い神に祈ろう 彼女が私の忠誠に気付き 死ぬ前に一度でいいから 彼女が私を愛してくれることを Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu To God I pray to prosper thee For I am still thy lover true Come once again and love me. ああ、グリーンスリーブスよ、さようなら 貴方の繁栄を神に祈ります 私は貴方の真の恋人 もう一度ここに来て、私を愛してください
