Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains 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] If you intend thus to disdain It does the more enrapture me And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity [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] 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] 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 [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 Help us caption & translate this video!
