English text
- Under the greenwood tree
- Who loves to lie with me,
- And turn his merry note
- Unto the sweet bird's throat,
- Come hither, come hither, come hither:
- Here shall we see
- No enemy
- But winter and rough weather.
- Who doth ambition shun,
- And loves to live i' the sun,
- Seeking the food he eats,
- And pleas'd with what he gets,
- Come hither, come hither, come hither:
- Here shall he see
- No enemy
- But winter and rough weather.
- [ If it do come to pass
- That any man turn ass,
- Leaving his wealth and ease,
- A stubborn will to please,
- Ducdame, ducdame, ducdame:
- Here shall he see
- Gross fools as he,
- An if he will come to me.
- Under the greenwood tree
- Who loves to lie with me. ]
- Lyrics: William Shakespeare (1564-1616), from "As You Like It", Act II, Scene V.
