Scarborough Fair
原曲Scarborough Fair的大意如下:
您去过斯卡布罗集市吗?
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
代我向那儿的一位姑娘问好
她曾经是我的爱人。
叫她替我做件麻布衣衫
(绿林深处山刚旁)
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(在白雪封顶的褐色山上追逐雀儿)
上面不用缝口,也不用针线
(大山是山之子的地毯和床单)
她就会是我真正的爱人。
(熟睡中不觉号角声声呼唤)
叫她替我找一块地
(从小山旁几片小草叶上)
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(滴下的银色泪珠冲刷着坟茔)
就在咸水和大海之间
(士兵擦拭着他的枪)
她就会是我真正的爱人。
叫她用一把皮镰收割
(战火轰隆,猩红的枪弹在狂呼)
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(将军们命令麾下的士兵杀戮)
将收割的石楠扎成一束
(为一个早已遗忘的理由而战)
她就会是我真正的爱人。
有人曾用《诗经》的格式翻译歌词,倒也别有情驱,填到原曲中,竟也能唱:
问尔所之,是否如适 Are you going to Scarborough Fair
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
彼方淑女,凭君寄辞 Remember me to one who lives there
伊人曾在,与我相知 She once was a true love of mine
嘱彼隹人,备我衣缁 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
勿用针剪,无隙无疵 Without no seams nor needle work
伊人何在,慰我相思 Then she will be a true love of mine
伴唱: 彼山之阴,深林荒址 On the side of hill in the deep forest green
冬寻毡毯,老雀燕子 Tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown
雪覆四野,高山迟滞 Blankets and bed clothes the child of maintain
眠而不觉,寒笳清嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
嘱彼隹人,营我家室 Tell her to find me an acre of land
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
良田所修,大海之坻 Between the salt water and the sea strand
伊人应在,任我相视 Then she will be a true love of mine
伴唱: 彼山之阴,叶疏苔蚀 On the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves
涤彼孤冢,珠泪渐撤 Washes the grave with slivery tears
昔我长剑,日日拂拭 A soldier cleans and polishes a gun
寂而不觉,寒笳长嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
嘱彼隹人,收我秋实 Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
敛之集之,勿弃勿失 And gather it all in a bunch of heather
伊人犹在,唯我相誓 Then she will be a ture love of mine
伴唱: 烽火印啸,浴血之师 War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions
将帅有令,勤王之事 Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a cause
争斗缘何,久忘其旨 They have long ago forgotten
痴而不觉,寒笳悲嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
是这个吗?
难道LZ说的是《斯卡波罗集市》?沙拉·布莱曼的
英文歌词:
*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
(Oh 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 main
(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 publishes 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
