Loreena McKennitt - Greensleeves 

Anything that Loreena Mckennit makes is pure magic ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was my dad's favorite version of the song (besides my mom singing it to him) and since he passed recently the song always makes me sad but still reminds me of him and the good times I had with him.

LOREENA is more than an Illustrious Character of the Music. LOREENA is a creative being of the best and highest Feeling of the Human Soul. LOREENA is an absolutely sublime being in your vision of feelings. LOREENA is the best music, voice, words, MAGIC interpretation, etc.etc. WHO HEARS LOREENA, GIVE FOR LOST ALL THE TIME BACK AND TRAVELS TO ANOTHER WORLD. A UNIQUE WORLD. THE WORLD OF THIS GODDESS. Oh... GODDESS LOREENA... GIVE ME YOUR HEART... !

Her marvellous voice is a gift to everybody!The Best version, in my modest opnion, of a great celtic song! Open your Hearts and enjoy!!!

Divine, Divine... DIVINE. Simply, DIVINE. OH, GODDESS... GODDESS... GODDESS... BELOVED GODDESS!

I am scared to loose my family i am only 23 but when i awake up it hared to make me slef smile trust me i have them bad days where i wjust want to give up on hope and everthing

My mother passed away suddenly this past August four days before her 56th wedding anniversary. She had such a beautiful singing voice and used to sing this as a lullaby to myself and my younger brother and sister. I remember her with a smile to this song and recently played it for my father, who immediately teared up. I went to stop the music and he asked me not to. He said it was like a message from Mum and a great comfort to him. God bless the mourners 💔

I fell in love with this song and Loreena McKennit in 1997 when I randomly heard her in a shop for musical instruments. And I never fell out of this love. Meanwhile, I have listened to many versions of this song, but hers and the duet of Tim Foust and Peter Holland are my favorite ones.

Absolutely a beautiful song. Well written and sung.

I remember this song from a CD of her songs back in the late 90s. It included "All Soul's Night", "The Lady of Shalott", and "Cymbeline."

Pocas canciones hay tan "curativas y reparadoras" como esta. La voz de Loreena y lo que transmite es ÚNICO 🥰🥰🥰

Heard this for the first time in 7th grade music class and thought it was the most beautiful song I had ever heard. Thanks Loreena for doing such a marvelous job!

Loreena´s is one of the best covers ever of this classic and eternal song, thank you so much for sharing this!

Oh, the pain of memories -and the burden having to go on.

These are the most etheral sounds that do indeed prove to be, "my delight"

Thanks for singing one of the most beautiful songs ever written, in such a lovely way.

Haunting and beautiful.

Your content is awesome!

una voce di un Angelo che ti entra nell'anima e che tocca le corde dei sentimenti e più profondi

from algeria>>>>>>we the algerians>>>we respect and love so much the uk>>>>specialy england

What an angelique voice. I like her "Mummer Dance", but this one sounds like from heaven

This song is plainly pure heaven on earth the estacy of a voice of an angel in the essence of the air I breath and hear at te same time. A mysterious voice of a lady who is pure essence of God.

Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod was merely 18 years of age when Anne Boleyn was sadly decapitated. Brave and honourable son of Glenfinnan, Scotland "Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod" RIP 1518-2000.

I notice many Italian posts- Loreena must be popular in Italy !!!

I can imagine Henry down on his knees singing this to Anne. So very haunting. I can also hear Anne singing this while she sits looking out the window of her prison in the Tower waiting for death and wanting death as Henry betrayed her. He broke her heart.

Une voix magnifique et je suis heureux de l'avoir vue en concert

What's incredible with Mrs McKennit, she could take the happiest song, her interpretation would break your heart anyway…

With Loreena McKennitts singing this song gets eternal

Loreena's version is the best ......

i guess every one that sings this rather lovely song makes it there own ....

Me encanta ésta canción!. La he escuchado en muchas versiones y por muchos cantantes!, pero ninguna, ninguna tiene el poder desgarrarte hasta dentro tanto cómo ésta!.

Lovely song! Please, also listen to Tango to Évora (a beautiful Portuguese town).

Simply awesome. This is so sublime.

I can't say anything. It's very sad. She was very beautiful and was condemned wrong.She loved the King but he was cruel. He thought only about himself. But all Men do it.

Essa musica já é linda,na voz dessa magnifica cantora,torna-se uma transcedental obra de arte!

This overwhelming masterpiece is a treasure for Earthlings💮🏵️🌸🎑👘🎎

Thanks from Russia!

I love this song no matter what instrument it is played with, enjoy all the different versions there is so many on here

Simply beatiful and awesome.

this is my favorite song.... im trying to learn to play on the guitar but i still cant decently do it.......

Such a beautiful piece.

This touches my soul.

Замечательная песня. Но Celtic Ladies исполняет ближе к тому времени, не так ли? К топикстартеру: ошибка в тексте- пропущено 2 раза WAS. Вот так верно Wonderful song. But Celtic Ladies performs closer to that time, right? To Topic Starter: Error in the text - 2 times WAS missed. That's right Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously; And I have loved you oh so long Delighting in your company. Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my Lady Greensleeves. I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever thou would'st crave; I have waged both life and land Your love and goodwill for to have. Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my Lady Greensleeves. Thy petticoat of sendle white With gold embroidered gorgeously; Thy petticoat of silk and white And these I bought thee gladly. Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my Lady Greensleeves. Original: Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company. Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? 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.

C'est la musique qui m'a inspiré mon roman : L'Ange des 7 mers. Cette musique est intemporelle et je dédie d'ailleurs un chapitre pour expliquer son origine dans le livre. En fait comme j'écoutais beaucoup Loreena Mc Kennitt dans ma jeunesse, c'est cette version là qui m'a vraiment inspiré et m'a fait découvrir l'histoire de cette chanson. Il ne m'en a pas fallu beaucoup plus pour que l'histoire de mon livre naisse dans ma tête. Regarder la mer lors d'un séjour en espagne, fermer les yeux, et voir mes personnages s'animer et vivre. Pour les interessés plus d'infos ici : @t

Love Lorena! Have several of her cd’s.

Beautifully haunting. I can totally see Henry singing this to Anne…. &then he killed her.

Very special voice! A true artist!

There are several variations to the lyrics.

The voice of the Goddess here on earth. No one compares or even comes close to the ethereal majesty of Loreena McKennitt

According to Google Play the songwriting credits for this version are "Written by Gene Grillo, Guy Moon/Copyright © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc" which, of course, is a LIE, a SCAM, and an insult and an affront to England and English folk music.

destroyed it with the pausing..sad because i love her voice

Some say that this song was written by King Henry VIII

Thank you dear for a beautiful voice, I heard this a good 60 yrs ago and have loved it since. May God always bless you, he did with your voice.

Niente può far vibrare di più le corde dell'anima di una musica che riesce a portarti via anche se solo per qualche minuto. Ti trascina e ti fa volare dove mai riusciresti ad andare nella realtà. Ti senti bene e vorresti che mai finisse.

Beautiful Anglo Saxon song 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Outstanding , amazing , astrofysical !

The blurry photos hurt my eyes....

Beautiful.

Her voice is so haunting.

Stupenda

Потрясающая песня. Не много в мире песен, переживших века.

tout simplement magnifique!

Strana Fata Strana Fata accarezzan le tue note i miei sospiri Suoni vibrati con tenue dolcezza, melodie d’incanto nella tua voce Ridoni al mio cuore istanti di pace, il buio dall’anima fai scomparire Conduci la mente verso terre lontane, ricordi vissuti da altre persone Poesia e Magia si fondon nel cuore nuovamente amiche della mia Speranza ... 24.9.2010 Grazie, Loreena!

Loreena is the most complete woman. Nobody did better. Only a ANGEL like her can reach the PERFECTION, the INSUPERABLE. LOREENA is IMMORTAL. She belongs to the PARADISE. she's the music GODDESS, the GODDESS of your hearts.The GODDESS of sensitivity. LOREENA forever, for the eternity. Oh, LOREENA... BELOVED GODDESS.

This is legendary

Acompanhem Loreena McKennitt e muito mais em htforum.net/threads/musica-e-salvacao.409-page-19 . Trata-se de projeto inédito em programa musical. Muito obrigado!

meravigliosa....come sempre ♡____♡

Schönes Lied. Mit der Performance bin ich nicht zufrieden. Erst wird gehechelt, danach zu hart ausgesprochen, nicht gesungen. Sorry.... über Geschmack lässt sich bekanntlich streiten.

My Mom loved Greensleeves and had a music songwriting book with the penciled in notes for guitar. She never really mentioned she played.

Loreena Mckennit is simply in a class all of her own salutations to the greatest that there is or ever will be long live the this superb lady may keep weaving her magic to all our benefit

This awful Henry VIII.Today he will get a life sentence in prison. I cannot understand why the briteons love him !

Perhaps Greensleeves was written by King Henry VIII, (for there is mention this immortal song has Irish origins), but there is no doubt he certainly sang it and meant it in his madness for the Lady Anne Boleyn. To hear such a deeply sensitive rendition by our ethereal muse Loreena, is to hear the unbearable and haunting pain of unrequited love. King Henry's sexual prowess was legendary as was his charm, striking looks (before he acquired syphilis), and towering passion whether in love or rage. To have such a powerful king on his knees for a lady-in- waiting to his queen in a glittering court of silks, gold, and intrigue is beyond the mere humiliation of thwarted desire. It is drama and passion played out to the highest degree. And Loreena captured the hallowed breath of it.

Great!!!!

I love the song, but the video, with all those images of H**ny Hank? No, thanks. Whatever "Greensleeves"s connection to Henry VIII is believed to be, I can hardly bring myself to look upon him. The only person I ever heard defend him was the pastor of the Anglican (of course!) church I went to years ago. He was a frightful piece of work.

".....thy sleeves of grassy green ! "

Epic!!!😁👍

que história triste. isso aconteceu mesmo? de verdade?

sem palavras muito bacana Loreena Mckennitt the valeu

Beautiful!

King Henry the 8th wrote it for his true love Anne Boelyn the I'll fated queen

Loreena is the most complete woman. Nobody did better. Only a ANGEL like her can reach the PERFECTION, the INSUPERABLE. LOREENA is IMMORTAL. She belongs to the PARADISE. She's the music GODDESS, the GODDESS of your hearts.The GODDESS of sensitivity. LOREENA forever, for the Eternity. Oh, LOREENA... BELOVED GODDESS.

amazing !!! just amazing

Stunning !

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

This song has a terrific loud haunting unique sound in many places that makes it stand out from other versions. But one of the things that attracted me to this video is that it actually shows a girl with greensleeves.

Você sabe que a música e boa quando ela sobrevive séculos .

Best version of Greensleeves ❤

Beautiful song made even more beautiful by a gifted Song Bird.

not the best version of this song

There is one picture from tvd 🙈❤

En mi último año de Instituto, esta canción, en su versión instrumental, y me sirvió de fondo para mi examen final de Educación Física. Conseguí un notable. Formaba parte de un disco (de vinilo, por supuesto. Eran los años setenta) que a su vez estaba integrado en una colección de música variada y perteneciente a mis padres. Para la adolescente que era yo entonces, fue todo un descubrimiento. Desde entonces he oído muchas versiones, pero no creo que esta es la mejor y la más sensible. Loreena ha sabido darle a la letra una hermosa intensidad dramática. En cuanto a que fue compuesta por Enrique VIII, me parece algo dudoso...

Que voz,belleza

LOVE IT

Sweet.

Where are you wonderful woman? I don't even know if you exist, have you been in the past, or are you dressed in green. Only paradise or God can find your ideal partner, I am...........?????????☯️♥️🔥👼⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛

Ingiltere kralının sevgilisi için yazdığı şiir. 1500lerde 16.yy

My great great uncle’s third cousin twice removed’s next door neighbor’s cat sitter’s 4th husband loved this song. He hasn’t passed away yet, nor does this song remind me of him. But I still love this song, too. I mean, independently.

Aku genit? Kapan aku genit?

Loreena is GODDESS. She is SUBLIME, SUBLIME, SUBLIME ! FOREVER and EVER !!!

I don't recognize Loreena's voice.
