캐나다 Greensleeves 푸른옷소매 / Loreena McKennitt

 

 

 

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.

chorus

 

 

 

 

Green Sleeves

 

 

Alas my love, ye do me wrong
아아.. 내사랑 그대는 그렇게 야속하게

To cast me out discourteously,
나를 버리고 가버리다니

And I loved you for so long
그렇게 오랫동안 그대를 사랑하고

Delighting in your company....
그대와의 사귐을 기쁘게 여겼던 나를..

Green sleeves was all my joy
그린 슬리브는 나의 모든 기쁨

Green sleeves was all my delight
그린 슬리브는 나의 모든 즐거움

Green sleeves was my heart of gold
그린 슬리브는 아름다운 마음을 지닌 사람..

And who but Lady Green sleeves
그건 다른 누구도 아닌 내사람 그린 슬리브(푸른옷소매)

 

 

그린슬리브스 [Greensleeves ]
16세기 무렵부터 애창되었다고 하며,
셰익스피어도 희극 《윈저의 즐거운 아낙네들》 속에서 언급하고 있다.
변덕쟁이 아가씨를 사모하는 실연(失戀)의 노래...
