Scarborough Fair (斯卡布罗集市) (《毕业生》电影插曲)] - Sarah Brightman
Written by:Traditional
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
《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(MartinCarthy)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。
西蒙在英国时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》(TheSideOfAHill)作为副歌和这首歌混在一起。
斯卡布罗集市(ScarboroughFair)本是由于维京人经常的登陆,作一些交换而形成的一个定期集市,在几百年的时间里,每年的秋天持续一个半月,现在的英国,还有这么一个小镇。
