Hello, everyone! This is "A Song for the Night", a pop music programme in English for the ardent lovers of music across the country. I'm Bob Zong in Shenzhen, China.
The lyrics.
"Greensleeves"
Lyrics by unknown author
Alas [ə'lɑːs], my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously [,dɪs'kɝtɪəsli]
And I have loved you for 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
If you intend to be this way
It does the more enrapture [in'ræptʃə] me
And even so I still remain
A lover in captivity [kæp'tivəti]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu [ə'dju:]
God, I pray he will prosper thee [ði:]
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Here is the first version from the versatile artist Loreena McKennitt.
You are going to hear Shi Hong-E singing duet with his wife, Zhu Feng-bo, a Chinese soprano.
Now the 3rd version with Kenny G.
Our pop music programme is coming to its end. For a change, I’m going to present you with the last version of Greensleeves, Flute solo with cello and harp.
Good night, or perhaps good morning!
