I love this song! My grandma used to sing this song to me when i was a baby. She bought me a jewlery music box with this lullaby. I used to play it every time i missed her.
My great-grandmother used to sing this song for me and my brother when i was very young. Now i am 16 years old, and i always cry when i play this song with my shamisen. Rest in peace, sweet Elizabeth.
So many are in awe of the beauty of this song that it is neglected that this is a song of pain also. He loved her and gave her all he could and still he lost her and she would never love him. So imo there should be some element of pain in the singing and this is not only a comforting song...its a song about love and loss...and this version has those elements of beauty and pain imo ... beautifully done
I'm from australia and can not wait to get out and see Ireland and England! It looks so beautiful, & this song & music is so amazing! Its so calming and sweet, I know this may sound weird but my dog and cat, especially my Cat, loves this song!
i don't know..but i couldn't stop crying when i heard this song again for the first time since junior high..brought back so many memories..well done celtic lady bravo ! she's an angel!
+Kalifornia Sur Thank you for your lovely comment, ...This gorgeous young lady singing is our Méav Ni Mhaolchatha of Dublin, Ireland. She is truly our No.1 Irish Lady of Song and we love her dearly. You can find Meav's celticsongbird official forum on fb...feel free to join us there. She will sing for you every day. .. Sandy Harlow Administrator of Meav Celtic Songbird Official FB Forum
Kalifornia Sur Kalifornia Sur...yes, Celtic Woman is still touring together with a whole new group of beautiful singers. Méav occasionally kindly travels and sings with them. Méav is now Celtic Woman's voice director and creative consultant. Thank you so much for asking.
this song makes me feel like my soul has been awakened from a long, deep sleep. Never do I want to sleep again, but when I feel the burden of needing rest I will just relax to this masterpiece.
There is an oral tradition in Ireland that the song - or at least the lyrics as we know them today - originated in County Mayo in the second half of the sixteenth century (the first verse is an almost verbatim translation of a Gaelic ballad.)
One can certainly picture the likes of "Robin of Sherwood", "Connor MacLeod", "Duncan MacLeod", "Guy Fawkes" or "Barry Lyndon" listening to this timeless masterpiece.
i have always loved this song. i found out that my uncle loved this song as well, unfortunately he died before i was born. so whenever i hear this song, i feel so sad that i never met him. but i will always listen to this song forever more.
As a canadian teen with family ties to England and Ireland, I feel proud when music like this is posted on UA-cam. It is more respectible, not to mention beautiful, in my opinion than what is posted on this site in recent years.
@Avostal The very best of this song I have ever heard, along with such beautiful photos. I do believe Henry would be proud of his song if he could hear this. Thank you for the upload. It is now saved as a favorite.
I'm so happy to have find the melody that we in terpreted the "Graduation Day" thanks you very much because it was .many many years ago but i still remember that song. Sincerely thanks.
Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. And i have loved you so long, Delighting in your company. Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. Thy smock of silk, both fair and white, With gold embroidered gorgeously; Thy petticoat of sendal right, And these I bought thee gladly. Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. 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. I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, I have wagered both life and land, Your love and good-will for to have. Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. 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.
It's an English song,it was by Henry VIII to his then Queen Anne Boleyn,check the facts before crediting a different country for an originally English love song
After so long with Celtic Woman I can't help wishing that we could see Meav singing this outdoors on a stage with back-up singers, an orchestra and Mairead Nesbitt playing in the background. It would be awesome....

Celtic Woman does not do "Greensleeves", Sapphire848. This is Méav as she sings from her beautiful solo cd "Meav: A Celtic Journey". I believe that CW helped promote Méav's album and therefore, many think that it is a CW song. It's only Méav's song. And...believe me, only Méav could sing this gorgeous old ballad the way it should be sung....and she surely has on her solo album. Méav's soothing, calming, comforting, perfectly pitched, angelic voice is truly lovely as she sings her songs...all of them...especially "Greensleeves" and "What Child is This"..the same melody..which Méav sang in the CW concert "Home for Christmas". ...

Thy music still to play and sing And yet thou wouldst not love me. 貴方は世俗的な物を望むことはできない しかし貴方は今もなおそれを進んで得ようとしている 貴方の美しい調べは今もただよい続ける でも貴方は私を愛してはくれない 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. 私は天高い神に祈ろう 彼女が私の忠誠に気付き 死ぬ前に一度でいいから 彼女が私を愛してくれることを 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. ああ、グリーンスリーブスよ、さようなら 貴方の繁栄を神に祈ります 私は貴方の真の恋人 もう一度ここに来て、私を愛してください

This familiar masterpiece is comfortable to the ears and the mind There is something extraordinary in her splendid singing voice From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
There is a persistent belief that Greensleeves was composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Boleyn allegedly rejected King Henry's attempts to seduce her and this rejection may be referred to in the song when the writer's love "cast me off discourteously". However, Henry did not compose "Greensleeves", which is probably Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death.
@@LokiusMaximus a Lit major too. Wanted me to post a scholarly source instead? Should I have put citations in MLA?

You are spreading wrong information. Greenesleeves has it's origins in the mid-twelvth century, around 1140 AD. The music and the lyrics developed over time, spread mostly by Bards.
There are people in England, who believe in Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, as well. What is true and what people want to believe is true, are very often quite different. Case in point, here.
Astrogirl1usa Arthur very likely was a real person and Greensleeves first appeared in the 16th Century but thank you for educating me on my country's history. Now I would like you to stop spreading wrong information yourself.
It's very hard for somebody to make my jaw drop. Near to the end of this song I noticed that my mouth was wide open. I heard lots of performances of this song, but this lady is absolutely amazing.. p.s. I don't understand why do you award this song to the whole Celtic Women band if it's the performance of Meav Ni Mhaolchatha only. p.s.2 BTW, Irish people, I like your music but I hate your spelling. I spent a whole evening to find out how to pronounce this name. I was lucky, I found an interview where Meav Ni Mhaolchatha pronounced her own name (sounds something like Wa:lkaha).

He aquí una de las baladas más hermosas de todos los tiempos, cuya autoría muchos atribuyen al rey Enrique VIII de Inglaterra. Al escucharla y conmoverse con ella cuesta mucho creer que haya emanado de alguien que -según otros- era una persona cruel... "¡cosas veredes, Sancho!"
Such a ravishing song! And Méav Ní Mhaolchatha is great. The same melody has been used for "What Child Is This?", a Christmas song, has it not? Thank you for uploading it.
+Cathie Soli Yes, it is....and Meav sings "WHAT CHILD IS THIS" in the new Christmas cd/DVD "Home for Christmas"....it is gorgeous as only our Meav can sing it!!
Actually that is one interpretation yes, an alternate one was that Lady Green Sleeves was mistaken as one through her costume. Thus her "discourteous" rejection of the noble's/singer's advances; this supports that she was not a lady of the night. Another one is in Nevill Coghill's translation of The Canturbury Tales, in which he explains that "green" back then was the color of lightness in love. This is supported in the lines 'Greensleeves is my delight' as well as other lines in the song.
I had sang this version, and the interments do not change with the singer. I sang this in a trio, a friend played a wooden flute, and another piano, and I sang.
If that is true, well, I have a few green sleeves myself! That is really interesting; when I listen to this all I can think of is Anne from The Tudors! Its like it was written for her!
Jacques Brel was very much inspired by this music for his song "Amsterdam", which was translated from French to English by Mort Shuman and performed by himself and by David Bowie.
I had a dream of this song when I was 3. There was a princess walking up the stairs in a castle singing this song, it was truly magical ❤
I love this song! My grandma used to sing this song to me when i was a baby. She bought me a jewlery music box with this lullaby. I used to play it every time i missed her.

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.

I had sang this version, and the interments do not change with the singer. I sang this in a trio, a friend played a wooden flute, and another piano, and I sang.
Linda musica,para mim,esta é a melhor versão de greensleeves!
Thank you for such a mysterious song.
Makes me think of being a medieval knight rescuing fair maidens.
This is the best song I've ever heard..it is beautiful :D
Very beautiful!
Sweet song and voice
If that is true, well, I have a few green sleeves myself! That is really interesting; when I listen to this all I can think of is Anne from The Tudors! Its like it was written for her!
The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston brought me here! The book is amazing.
Congratulations. Direct in my hearth!
If you haven't seen this lady, look up "Dulaman" from the Celtic Woman "A New Journey" concert. Meav looks as gorgeous as she sounds.
i always loved Celtic Woman
Jacques Brel was very much inspired by this music for his song "Amsterdam", which was translated from French to English by Mort Shuman and performed by himself and by David Bowie.
fine version, thanks
Très bien chanté et très émouvant
So so wonderful
Some masterpieces of song have come from The Emerald Isle!
It has nothing to do with Ireland.
Wonderful song!!
I love this song from adventure time...
It is beautiful. It's interesting though what Green Sleeves mean. Thank you Eivyll for the translation.
