Текст песни Английская Музыка эпохи Возрождения - Greensleeves

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.

Specialists in the history of music believe that the famous "Green Sleeves » («Greensleeves») - dedication love with the King of England Henry VIII of his future wife, Anne Boleyn , set to an old tune. It is not known whether these lines penned Henry VIII, but beautiful legend cherish - and it is assumed that the beautiful stranger in a green dress is Lady Anne Boleyn.
On the origin of the song is little known. Melody, written by an anonymous composer of the XVI century , has become the basis for numerous variations. Writing text ballads is often credited with the English king Henry VIII, who allegedly addressed these verses of his lover , presumably Anne Boleyn , second wife of Henry became . It did not yield to attempts to seduce her king , and this failure is reflected in the words of the song .
First text " Grinslivs " was published in 1566 . This option , which has come down to our days, includes 18 quatrains and refrain, but usually it is assumed that only four quatrains and refrain are genuine. Overall, there is a huge number of verses (by some estimates up to 1800 ) , a play on the same theme - the author laments on the beloved, who has now left it in spite of all his efforts .
This composition is in the repertoire of many modern artists . Among them, Elvis Presley and widely known group Blackmore's Night.

Translation into Russian :

Alas , love, ruining my life ,
You rvesh with me without shame .
I loved you for so many years
And was happy with you at all times.

Chorus:
Grinslivs me the light lit ,
Grinslivs brought joy ,
Grinslivs heart blossomed ,
A lady who instead Grinslivs ?

Thee I faithfully served
And was ready to indulge again .
I put the life and earth
For Thy mercy and love.

Not find donated scarves ,
Where the pattern so gracefully lay down.
I gave you , and room and board ,
And my not skudel purse .

Grinslivs , ever forgive .
God I pray for you .
But if you decide to come back ,
Know that I love you .
