绿袖子(Greensleeves)为一首传统的英格兰民谣,在16世纪期间开始流行于英格兰民间,属罗曼尼斯卡(Romanesca)系歌曲。 这首曲子的作家至今仍然无人知晓。一个广为流传,但未被证实的说法是,这首曲子是由英王亨利八世(1491年-1547年)作给其爱人安妮·博林王后。安妮曾经拒绝了亨利八世的爱意,而令亨利八世对她有着更痴痴的苦恋。“自己的衣袖上套著情人的袖子”便是意味着“向世人宣告自己有心仪的对象”,也就是当自己穿戴着情人的衣袖,便像是向世人广为宣传对她的爱意。“绿袖子”在当时的英国有“妓女”的隐喻,而这首歌曲的内容,叙述了一个君王爱上平民女孩的故事,两者令人不禁联想到妻子众多的国王亨利,以及其第二任妻子安妮皇后。

Greensleeves (绿袖子) - Liz Madden
What child is this who laid to rest
On mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This this is christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of mary
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and a** are feeding
Good christian fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading
Nails spears shall pierce him through
The cross he bore for me for you
Hail hail the word made flesh
The babe the son of mary
So bring him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
Raise raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy joy for christ is born
The babe the son of mary
