《斯卡布罗集市》原是一首古老的英国民歌,其起源可一直追溯到中世纪。它曾被英国民歌之父麦考选进他编辑的一本介绍英国民歌的书中。
后来英国民歌手马汀·卡西(Martin Carthy)在原歌的基础上加进了自己的再创造,把它变成了一首爱情歌曲。西蒙在英国师从卡西那里学会了这首歌。他又再创造性地把自己写的一首反战歌曲《山坡上》(The Side Of A Hill)作为副歌和这首歌混在一起。
《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(Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme),分别代表爱情的甜蜜,力量,忠诚和勇气。
而目前《斯卡布罗集市》最著名的版本,也就是西蒙与加芬克尔(Simon and Garfunkel)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),主要使用了“原版”中“Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme”这一小部分。

问尔何去,斯卡集市?
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。
彼方淑女,凭君寄辞。
伊人曾在,与我相知。
嘱彼佳人,备我衣缁。
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。
勿用针砧,无隙无疵。
伊人由此,与我相知。
嘱彼佳人,寻我田址。
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。
左邻大海,右傍砂石。
伊人由此,与我相知。
嘱彼佳人,收吾秋实。
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。
敛之集之,勿弃勿失。
伊人由此,与我相知。
楼上的是由保罗·西蒙和加芬克尔演唱,括号里的句子是男版的伴音,男版的歌词把女版的所有的He都改为She。PS:其实男女版的歌词都差不多,不过我觉得女版的更好听~
