1、《斯卡布羅集市》的歌詞:
Are you going to Scarborough Fair.您正要去斯卡布羅集市嗎?
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme.歐芹,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
Remember me to one who lives there.代我向那兒的一位姑娘問好
She once was a true love of mine.她曾經是我的愛人
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.請讓她爲我做一件細麻布襯衣
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.)(綠林深處山岡旁)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.歐芹,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(Tracing of sparrow on the snow-crested brown.)(在白雪封頂的褐色山上追逐雀兒)
Without no seams nor needle work.上面不用縫口,也不用針線
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain.)(大山是山之子的地毯和牀單)
Then shell be a true love of mine.她就會是我真正的愛人
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)(熟睡中不覺號角聲聲呼喚)
Tell her to find me an acre of land.叫她替我找一塊地
(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.)(從小山旁幾片小草葉上)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.歐芹,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(Washes the grave with silvery tears.)(滴下的銀色淚珠沖刷着墳塋)
Between the salt water and the sea strands.就在海水和淺灘之間
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.)(士兵擦拭着他的槍)
Then shell be a true love of mine.她就會是我真正的愛人
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather.叫她用一把皮鐮收割
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.)(戰火轟隆,猩紅的槍彈在狂呼)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.歐芹,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(Generals order their soldiers to kill.)(將軍們命令麾下的士兵衝殺)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather.將收割的石楠紮成一束
(And to fight for a cause theyve long ago forgotten.)(爲一個早已遺忘的理由而戰)
Then shell be a true love of mine.她就會是我真正的愛人
Are you going to Scarborough Fair.您正要去斯卡布羅集市嗎?
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme.歐芹,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
Remember me to one who lives there.代我向那兒的一位姑娘問好
She once was a true love of mine.她曾經是我的愛人。
2、《斯卡布羅集市》原是一首古老的英國民歌,其起源可一直追溯到中世紀。它曾被英國民歌之父麥考選進他編輯的一本介紹英國民歌的書中。後來英國民歌手馬汀·卡西(Martin Carthy)在原歌的基礎上加進了自己的再創造,把它變成了一首愛情歌曲。西蒙在英國師從卡西那裏學會了這首歌。他又再創造性地把自己寫的一首反戰歌曲《山坡上》(The Side Of A Hill)作爲副歌和這首歌混在一起。
