Scarborough Fair 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(On 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 a true love of mine

(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 salt water and the sea strands(A soldier cleans and pulishes 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

Are you going to Scarborough Fair

Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there she was once a true love of mine

Scarborough Fair（斯卡堡集市，也译作“斯卡波罗集市”），是一首旋律优美的经典英文歌曲，曾作为第40届奥斯卡获奖影片《毕业生》（The Graduate）的插曲，曲调凄美婉转，给人以心灵深处的触动。

Scarborough Fair原是一首古老的英国民歌，其起源可一直追溯到中世纪，原唱歌手为保罗·西蒙（Paul Simon）和加芬克尔（Art Garfunkel）。

Scarborough是英格兰北约克郡的一座滨海小镇，在历史上小镇从每年八月十五日开始会有一个延续交易45天的集市，吸引着来自全英格兰甚至欧洲的商人，这就是Scarborough Fair的来由。

西蒙把自己先前创作的反战歌曲《The Side of A Hill》嫁接到《Scarborough Fair》，实现了战争歌曲特别是反战歌曲常选爱情或亲情题材为载体的习惯，成功的把《Scarborough Fair》从单纯的情歌打造成一首反战歌曲。Scarborough Fair还有一个谐音意思，与Scar-Borrow-Fair谐音，意为借来创痛的集市。现实中是不存在可以借来伤痛的集市的，但如果把它放在一首反战歌曲里面，Scar-Borrow-Fair就有了引申的意思了，那就是Battle Field（战场）。用Battle Field替换Scarborough Fair，这首歌的起始句子就变成了“Are you going to

battle field？”（你要上战场吗？）了，直接开宗明义。

斯卡堡集市的第二句唱到了四种花朵，芫荽、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香（Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme），据说分别代表爱情的甜蜜，力量，忠诚和勇气。也有说法这四种花都有代表“死亡”的隐藏意，暗示远在天涯的爱人早已逝去。在歌曲的二、三、四段，每一句的结尾，都有一个不太明显的声音在唱着另外的一套歌词，副歌的歌词是西蒙写的，而旋律则出自加芬克尔之手，副歌开始时如同秋天昏黄萧索的天空，沉静的讲述战争当中的种种苦难，艰辛，这使得这一曲《Scarborough Fair》不再仅仅是一首哀伤的恋歌，更是是一首尖锐的反战歌曲。那套歌词的内容讲述了一场战争。结合当时的背景，可能与反对越南战争有关。
