Scaborough Fair歌詞

歌曲：斯卡布羅集市
歌手：莎拉.布萊曼
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
注釋與賞析:
這首歌是保羅.西蒙和阿特.加彭凱爾
創作並演唱的
這首歌在英國民謠中非常流行
保羅曾於64－65年期間在英度假
並經常出沒於英國民謠圈演唱
這首歌實際上是回憶
當時的演唱並重新譜寫的
這首歌表現的是一位
在前線作戰的士兵對戀人的思念
士兵請求去斯卡布羅市鎮的人
帶去給姑娘的問候...
請繼續欣賞這首歌曲......
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
在每一段歌詞的第一句後
那裡有歐芹.鼠尾草.迷迭草和百里香
正是這句歌詞的反覆出現
使歌曲的懷舊氣氛被濃墨重彩
使人對斯鎮自然純樸的美麗風光
插入了一句看似毫不相干的唱詞
充滿了無限的嚮往
在歌曲中出現的和聲頌唱
（cantile）使得這首歌曲
韻味無窮
充滿情感夢幻般的歌曲
觸動著每個人的心弦
