Greensleeves可能是世界上比较古老的爱情歌曲之一了。最近在补看的电视剧The Tudors里描写了亨利八世为了Anne Boleyn写了这首优美动听的歌曲。不过根据Wiki（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensleeves），这只是个传说罢了。这首歌并不是亨利八世创作的。

"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."

这首歌被很多人演唱过。我喜欢的是一个女歌手唱的这个版本：

这个版本的歌词比其他较为传统的版本来说，歌词简化了很多。很可惜我不知道这个歌手是谁。
