Greensleeves 不唱 by 冲浪潜水员

余偶有感慨，便把心中之歌，无分乱唱、清唱，不论英语、中文，统统贴到美坛来，心里明白，实在是莽撞之举。所幸诸位网友宅心仁厚，并不加以取笑，且常有美语相加，实不愧美坛之名。有一网友名“好学又好问”者，鼓励之余，果有一问：“能点歌吗？”实在令余颇为感动--若只是敷衍，绝不会有此一问。

只是，网友所举例之Greensleeves，余却并不会唱。唯知其曲调颇为忧伤反复，余尝于广播中聆听数次，并稍知其大意，只是并无歌词相伴。出差独处之时，心系佳人，余亦曾品味把玩，更体会其中忧愁无限，只恐逾越“乐而不淫，忧而不伤”之训，便未寻词以伴。今网友相询，现学显然不敷，思覆之余，只能献黔驴之技，以口哨回应记忆中之乐声，并将歌词附上，望能不负网友所问之万一。

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.

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.
