《斯卡布罗集市》(Scarborough Fair)是一首英国传统民歌。整段旋律弥漫着甜蜜而忧伤的悠远意境。
该歌曲描述一位年轻男子指示听者去吩咐他以前的爱人为他完成一系列不可能的任务,例如为他制作一件没有线缝的衬衫,然后在一座干涸的井中将其洗涤等等,如果她完成了这些任务,他将与她重归于好的故事。该歌曲往往是一首二重唱,之后女方也交给她的爱人一系列同样不可能的任务,并答应在他结束后将无缝的衬衫交给他。
而我们大家熟知的是作为美国电影《毕业生》(The Graduate)的插曲,由Simon & Garfunkel演唱。这部电影是当时美国大学生很喜欢的电影,这首歌曲和那首The Sound of Silence(寂静之声)也都是颇受欢迎的。
斯卡布罗集市歌词:
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
(Oh 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 ture love of main
(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 strand
(A soldier cleans and publishes a gun)
Then she`ll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(War bells blazing in scarlet battalion)
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And 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
