| Alas, my love you do me wrong
| Ay, mi amor, me haces mal
|
| To cast me off discourteously
| Para desecharme descortésmente
|
| And I have loved you so long
| Y te he amado tanto tiempo
|
| Delighting in your company
| Deleitarse en tu compañía
|
| I have been ready at your hand
| He estado listo en tu mano
|
| to grant whatever you would crave;
| para conceder lo que anheles;
|
| I have both wagered life and land
| He apostado la vida y la tierra
|
| Your love and good will for to have
| tu amor y buena voluntad por tener
|
| I bought the kerchers to thy head
| Compré los kerchers a tu cabeza
|
| That were wrought fine and gallantly
| Que fueron forjados fina y galantemente
|
| I kept thee both at board and bed
| te mantuve tanto en la mesa como en la cama
|
| Which cost my purse well favouredly.
| Lo cual me costó muy bien a mi bolsa.
|

|
| Greensleeves was all my joy
| Greensleeves era toda mi alegría
|
| Greensleeves was my delight
| Greensleeves fue mi deleite
|
| Greensleeves was my heart of gold
| Greensleeves era mi corazón de oro
|
| And who but my Lady Greensleeves?
| ¿Y quién sino mi Lady Greensleeves?
|
| I bought thee petticoats of the best,
| Te compré enaguas de lo mejor,
|
| the cloth so fine as fine might be:
| la tela tan fina como fina puede ser:
|
| I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
| Te di joyas para tu pecho,
|
| and all this cost I spent on thee.
| y todo este costo lo gasté en ti.
|
| Well, I will pray to God on hie,
| Bueno, rezaré a Dios en él,
|
| that thou my constancy maist see:
| que mi constancia puedas ver:
|
| And that yet once before I die,
| Y que una vez antes de morir,
|
| thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
| te dignarás amarme.
|
| Chorus

|
| Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu!
| Greensleeves, ahora adiós, adieu!
|
| God I pray to prosper thee;
| Dios, oro para que te prosperes;
|
| For I am still thy lover true
| Porque sigo siendo tu verdadero amante
|
| Come once again and love me.
| Ven una vez más y ámame.
