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.

斯卡布罗集市 (中文版)

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。


  • parsley:芜荽: I'm yours.
  • sage:鼠尾草 I'm dependable.
  • rosemary迷迭香: Remember me.
  • thyme百里香: I want you to bear my children 

    请记住它们的含义,不要轻易的送它们给异性。
