Scarborough Fair歌词




问尔所之,是否如适。Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。Parsely 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.

嘱彼佳人,备我衣缁。Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
勿用针砧,无隙无疵。Without seams nor needle work.
伊人何在,慰我相思。Then she will be a true love of mine.

嘱彼佳人,营我家室.Tell her to find me an acre of land.
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。Parsely 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.

嘱彼佳人,收我秋实。 Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather.
蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷。 Parsely 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 true love of mine.
