Текст песни
Специалисты по истории музыки считают, что знаменитые «Зелёные рукава» («Greensleeves») — посвящение влюблённого короля Англии Генриха VIII своей будущей жене Анне Болейн, положенное на старинную мелодию. Неизвестно, действительно ли эти строки сочинил Генрих VIII, но красивую легенду берегут, — и принято считать, что прекрасная незнакомка в зелёном платье и есть леди Анна Болейн.О происхождении песни известно немного. Мелодия, написанная анонимным композитором XVI века, стала основой для многочисленных вариаций. Написание текста баллады часто приписывают английскому королю Генриху VIII, который якобы адресовал эти стихи своей возлюбленной, предположительно Анне Болейн, ставшей второй женой Генриха. Она не поддалась попыткам короля совратить её, и этот отказ отражён в словах песни.
Впервые текст «Гринсливс» был опубликован в 1566 году. Этот вариант, дошедший до наших дней, включает 18 четверостиший и рефрен, однако обычно принято считать, что только четыре четверостишия и рефрен являются подлинными. Всего же существует огромное число куплетов (по некоторым оценкам до 1800), обыгрывающих одну и ту же тему — сетования автора на возлюбленную, покинувшую его несмотря на все его старания.
Эта композиция есть в репертуаре и у многих современных исполнителей. Среди них Элвис Пресли и широко известная группа Blackmore's Night.
Текст на английском языке:
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.
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.
If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Вариант перевода на русский:
Увы, любовь, мне жизнь губя,
Ты рвешь со мною без стыда.
Я столько лет любил тебя
И счастлив с тобой был всегда.
Припев :
Гринсливс мне свет зажгла,
Гринсливс радость принесла,
Гринсливс в сердце расцвела,
А кто вместо леди Гринсливс?
Тебе я преданно служил
И потакать готов был вновь.
Я жизнь и землю положил
За милость твою и любовь.
Не счесть подаренных платков,
Где так узор изящно лег.
Я дал тебе и стол и кров,
И мой не скудел кошелек.
Гринсливс, навек прости.
Бога за тебя молю.
Но если вновь решишь прийти,
Знай, что тебя я люблю.
Перевод песни
Specialists in the history of music believe that the famous "Green Sleeves" ("Greensleeves") - the dedication of the enamored King of England Henry VIII his future wife, Anne Boleyn, put on an old melody. It is not known whether Heinrich VIII really composed these lines, but they keep a beautiful legend, and it is generally accepted that a beautiful stranger in a green dress is Lady Anna Boleyn.Little is known about the origin of the song. The melody, written by an anonymous composer of the 16th century, became the basis for numerous variations. The writing of the ballad text is often attributed to the English king Henry VIII, who supposedly addressed these poems to his beloved, supposedly Anne Boleyn, who became Henry's second wife. She did not succumb to the king's attempts to seduce her, and this refusal is reflected in the words of the song.
For the first time the text of "Greensleeves" was published in 1566. This version, which has survived to this day, includes 18 quatrains and refrain, but it is usually assumed that only four quatrains and a refrain are genuine. In total, there are a huge number of couplets (according to some estimates up to 1800), playing the same theme - the author's complaints about the lover who left him despite all his efforts.
This composition is in the repertoire and in many contemporary performers. Among them, Elvis Presley and the well-known band Blackmore's Night.

Variant of translation into Russian:
Alas, love, destroying my life,
You tear with me without shame.
I've loved you for so many years
And I was always happy with you.
Refrain:
Greenslives gave me a light,
Greenslives brought joy,
Greensleeves blossomed in her heart,
And who instead of Lady Greenslives?
I served you faithfully
And I was ready to indulge again.
I put life and earth
For your mercy and love.
Do not think of donated handkerchiefs,
Where so the pattern gracefully lay down.
I gave you a table and shelter,
And my purse did not narrow.
Grinsley, forgive me forever.
God pray for you.
But if you decide to come again,
Know that I love you.
