如题所述
《斯卡布罗集市》的歌词如下:
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 ture 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 strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes 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
《斯卡布罗集市》背后的故事
斯卡布罗的阳光永远都是温和的,它不焦不灼,不骄不躁,像是和平的种子静静地落在平坦宽阔的平野里。海风顺着地中海的洋流漂浮而过,整个平原都充满了一股强烈的清爽气息。
这里没有纷争,没有动荡,有的尽是迷迭香、鼠尾草、和开的正盛的百里香,欧芹的野味弥漫在每一户人家的窗台上,随着居民们的呼吸进入他们的心灵,沁人心脾,它裹挟着清风的凛冽,直达沉香梦境的深处。
斯卡布罗的人们都相信,这是一个充满希望的国度,是一个没有忧愁的国度,每个人都无需为自己的快乐背债,也无需为明天的面包而焦虑,因为斯卡布罗从来都是“希望”的诠释。
