Scarborough fair 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
這首由中世紀流傳至今的英國民歌,很神奇地總是能夠對我產生攝人魂魄的感人力量。我還記得第一次聽到這首歌,是在一個燥熱的夏日午後,我正昏昏欲睡地開著車,突然這首如幽靈般古老而神秘的旋律憂傷地響起,是素有 “ 月光女神 ” 美譽的 Sarah Brightman 在演唱,她那天籟般空靈飄渺的聲音一下子就感動了我,也讓我迷上了這首優美淳樸的古歌。
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there He once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without no seams nor needle work Then he'll be a true love of mine
Have him wash it in yonder dry well Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell And then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Between salt water and the sea strands Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And gather it all in a bunch of heather Then he'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 He once was a true love of mine
