BOTH

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there,
For she/he once was a true love of mine.

MAN

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without any seam nor needlework,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Which never sprung water nor rain ever fell,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Ask her to do me this courtesy,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And ask for a like favour from me,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

BOTH

Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me from one who lives there,
For she/he once was a true love of mine.

WOMAN

Ask him to find me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between the salt water and the sea-strand,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

Ask him to plough it with a lamb's horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And sow it all over with one peppercorn,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

Ask him to reap it with a sickle of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And gather it up with a rope made of heather,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

When he has done and finished his work,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Ask him to come for his cambric shirt,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

BOTH

If you say that you can't, then I shall reply,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Oh, Let me know that at least you will try,
Or you'll never be a true love of mine.

Love imposes impossible tasks,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
But none more than any heart would ask,
I must know you're a true love of mine.

斯卡布羅集市 (中文版)

您去過斯卡布羅集市嗎?
蕪荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百裏香
代我向那兒的一位姑娘問好
她曾經是我的愛人。
叫她替我做件麻布衣衫

(綠林深處山剛旁)
蕪荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百裏香
(在白雪封頂的褐色山上追逐雀兒)
上麵不用縫口,也不用針線
(大山是山之子的地毯和床單)
她就會是我真正的愛人。
(熟睡中不覺號角聲聲呼喚)

叫她替我找一塊地
(從小山旁幾片小草葉上)
蕪荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百裏香
(滴下的銀色淚珠衝刷著墳塋)
就在鹹水和大海之間
(士兵擦拭著他的槍)
她就會是我真正的愛人。

叫她用一把皮鐮收割
(戰火轟隆,猩紅的槍彈在狂呼)
蕪荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百裏香
(將軍們命令麾下的士兵殺戮)
將收割的石楠紮成一束
(為一個早已遺忘的理由而戰)
她就會是我真正的愛人。


  • parsley:蕪荽: I'm yours.
  • sage:鼠尾草 I'm dependable.
  • rosemary迷迭香: Remember me.
  • thyme百裏香: I want you to bear my children 

    請記住它們的含義,不要輕易的送它們給異性。
