are you going to scarborough fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
remember me to one who lives there
she once was a true love of mine
tell her to make me a cambric shirt(on the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme(tracing of sparrow on the snow crested brown)
without no seams nor needle work(blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
then she ll be a true love of mine(sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
tell her to find me an acre of land(on the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves)
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme(washes the grave with silvery tears)
between the salt water and the sea strands(a soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
then she ll be a true love of mine
注释与赏析:
这首歌是保罗.西蒙和阿特.加蓬凯尔
创作并演唱的
这首歌在英国民谣中非常流行
保罗曾于64－65年期间在英度假
并经常出没于英国民谣圈演唱
这首歌实际上是回忆
当时的演唱并重新谱写的
这首歌表现的是一位
在前线作战的士兵对恋人的思念
士兵请求去斯卡布罗市镇的人
带去给姑娘的问候...
请继续欣赏这首歌曲......
tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather, (war bells blazing in scarlet battalion)
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
and gather it all in a bunch of heather, (and to fight for a cause they ve long forgotten)
then she ll be a true love of mine.
are you going to scarborough fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
remember me to one who lives there,
she once was a true love of mine
在每一段歌词的第一句后
那里有欧芹.鼠尾草.迷迭草和百里香
正是这句歌词的反复出现
使歌曲的怀旧气氛被浓墨重彩
使人对斯镇自然纯朴的美丽风光
插入了一句看似毫不相干的唱词
充满了无限的向往
在歌曲中出现的和声颂唱
（cantile）使得这首歌曲
韵味无穷
充满情感梦幻般的歌曲
触动着每个人的心弦
