Are you going to Scarborough Fair
《你要去斯卡布羅市場?》

你要去斯卡布羅市場?
請代我問候一位姑娘,
她叫茉莉、丁香或者玫瑰、牡丹,
她曾經占據了我的心房。

讓茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
給我做件細麻衣裳,
不用針線,也不用織紡,
那她才是我深愛的姑娘。

讓茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
在一張梧桐線紡麻布上,
織上五彩鮮花一籃,
那她才是我深愛的姑娘。

讓茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
在一口枯井裏洗衣裳,
井裏雨水幹涸,泉水不泛,
那她才是我深愛的姑娘。

讓茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
為我找到一英畝土壤,
須在海浪和沙灘之上,
那她才是我深愛的姑娘。

讓茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
耕田犁地隻用羔羊,
外加播撒堤北的種糧,
那她才是我深愛的姑娘。

讓茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
收割時用皮革代替鐮刀的鋒芒,
用一束花將所有的麥粒盛裝,
那她才是我深愛的姑娘。

告訴茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
若她說這一切太難太難,
但她至少會盡力去試探,
那她就是我深愛的姑娘。

告訴茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
愛情總會麵臨各種艱難,
但不會超越誠心的向往,
我要知道她就是我深愛的姑娘。

茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹,
親愛的,當你解決了那些疑難,
就趕快過來與我為伴,
真心愛你,我的心肝。
