Sarah Brightman: Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Remember me to one who lives there,
For once she was a true love of mine.

 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Without any seam or needlework,
Then she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to wash it in yonder well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Where never spring water or rain ever fell,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
Then she shall be a true lover of mine.
Now he has asked me questions three,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
I hope he’ll answer as many for me,
Before he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to buy me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Betwixt the salt water and the sea sand,
Then he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to plough it with a ram’s horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And sow it all over with one pepper corn,
And he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to shear it with a sickle of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And bind it up with a peacock feather,
And he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to thrash it on yonder wall,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And never let one corn of it fall,
Then he shall be a true lover of mine.
When he has done and finished his work,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Oh, tell him to come and he’ll have his shirt,
And he shall be a true lover of mine.

你要去斯卡伯勒集市吗？
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
请代我问候住在那里的一个人，
因为她曾经是我的真爱。
叫她为我做一件麻纱衬衫，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
毫无裁剪和针线，
然后她将成为我的真爱。
叫她把它在那座井里洗涤，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
其从未有过泉水也没有雨水降入，
然后她将成为我的真爱。
叫她把它在那根荆棘上晾干，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
其自亚当诞生以来从未开花，
然后她将成为我的真爱。
既然他已经问了我三个问题，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
我希望他为我回答同样多的问题，
在他成为我的真爱之前。
叫他为我买一亩地，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
在咸水与海沙之间，
然后他将成为我的真爱。
叫他用公羊角犁这块地，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
然后用一粒胡椒籽将其撒遍，
然后他将成为我的真爱。
叫他用皮镰刀将其收割，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
然后用一根孔雀羽毛将其束起，
然后他将成为我的真爱。
叫他在那堵墙上将其脱粒，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
决不能让任何一粒掉在地上，
然后他将成为我的真爱。
当他做完他的工作时，
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香；
哦，告诉他过来取他的衬衫，
然后他将成为我的真爱。
