Scarborough Fair/Canticle (斯卡波罗集市/圣歌) - Simon & Garfunkel (西蒙与加丰科)
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)
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
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)
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago 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
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)
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
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)
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago 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
ScarboroughFair(斯卡保罗集市)是英格兰北约克郡的一座滨海小镇的集市,历史上吸引着来自全英格兰甚至欧洲的商人。
这首民谣大约作于十三世纪,由漂流各地的游唱诗人辗转传唱,衍化出许多版本。经保罗。西蒙和加芬克尔演唱组合改编演唱,并被美国电影《毕业生》采用后开始大热。
《ScarboroughFair》这首歌是保罗·西蒙和阿特·加芬克尔创作并演唱的。歌曲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。
这首歌作为20世纪60年代最受美国大学生欢迎的电影《毕业生》的插曲,曾被那一代人特别是那一代青年学生视为至爱。
