Loreena McKennitt "Greensleeves" testo

Greensleeves

Alas my love you do me wrongTo cast me off discourteously;And I have loved you oh so longDelighting in your company.

Greensleeves was my delight,Greensleeves my heart of goldGreensleeves was my heart of joyAnd who but my lady Greensleeves.

I have been ready at your handTo grant whatever thou would'st crave;I have waged both life and landYour love and goodwill for to have.

Greensleeves was my delight,Greensleeves my heart of goldGreensleeves was my heart of joyAnd who but my lady Greensleeves.

Thy petticoat of sendle whiteWith gold embroidered gorgeously;Thy petticoat of silk and whiteAnd these I bought gladly.

Greensleeves

Ahimè amore mio, mi fate tortoa respingermi scortesemente,vi ho amata per tanto tempodeliziandomi della vostra compagnia.

Greensleeves eri il bene dell’anima mia,eri la mia delizia, il mio cuore d’oroGreensleeves eri il mio cuore gioiosochi se non la mia Signora dalle Maniche Verdi (1)Ero pronto al vostro fianco,a concedervi ogni cosa aveste bramato.E avevo impegnato la mia vita e le mie terreper mantenermi nelle vostre grazie.

Greensleeves eri il bene dell’anima mia,eri la mia delizia, il mio cuore d’oroGreensleeves eri il mio cuore gioiosochi se non la mia Signora dalle Maniche Verdi.

Vi ho comprato la gonna di zendalo bianco (2)sfarzosamente ricamata d’oro,la gonna di seta biancavi ho comprato con gioia.
