如题所述
集市《斯卡布罗集市》原唱是Paul Simon&Art Garfunkel。
斯卡布罗市集原是一首古老(大约作于十三世纪)的苏格兰民间歌曲(riddle song),后来成为《Scarborough Fair》美国六十年代最受大学生欢迎的电影、1968年奥斯卡获奖片《毕业生》(达斯汀·霍夫曼主演)中的主题曲。
歌词如下:
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & 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 & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
歌词释义
《斯卡布罗集市》的第二句唱到了四种花朵,香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香,分别代表爱情的甜蜜、力量、忠诚和勇气。而《斯卡布罗集市》最著名的版本,也就是西蒙和加芬克尔为电影《毕业生》所创作的主题曲(当年曾超过了披头士乐队的白色专辑,登上了1968年畅销歌曲排行榜的榜首)。
在歌曲的二、三、四段,每一句的结尾,都有一个不太明显的声音在唱着另外的一套歌词,副歌的歌词是保罗·西蒙写的,而旋律则出自亚瑟·加芬克尔之手。副歌开始时如同秋天昏黄萧索的天空,沉静的讲述战争当中的种种苦难、艰辛。
