Scarborough Fair(斯卡布罗集市)From the Film"The Graduate" By Paul Simon&Garfunkle电影《毕业生》插曲 保罗.西蒙,加丰科演唱*Are you going to Scarborough FairParsley,sage,rosemary and thymeRemember me to one who lives thereShe once was a true love of mine*Tell her to make me a cambric shirt(Oh 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 ture love of main(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 the salt water and the sea strand(A soldier cleans and publishes a gun)Then she`ll be a true love of mineTell 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斯卡布罗集市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。歌词剖析:听歌重在听“歌眼”,正如文章中标识题旨的“文眼”。这一首SCARBOROUGH FAIR是大家再熟悉不过的经典老歌了;歌眼就是PARSLEY ,SAGE ,ROSEMARY AND THYME“芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香”,歌者在SAGE与THYME上有意延长似乎是在提醒我们注意:SAGE既指鼠尾草,同时又有“贤明/圣哲”之意;而THYME则与TIME谐音。让我们再度回头审视歌名(注意:歌词与衬词中都及可能潜藏着歌眼),原本熟悉的歌名似乎也变了面目:SCAR-BORROW-FAIR。SCAR与FAIR昭示了歌者的本意——战争与和平(ANTI-WAR)。歌曲以一位在战火中亡故的普通士兵的口吻唱出,他再也不能回到那朝思暮想的家乡,再也不能与心上人一同享受生活的甘甜了。心中的悲愤化作一声声催人泪下的控诉:PARSLEY,SAGE,ROSEMARY&THYME。成千上万普通士兵如野花一般被战火摧毁在沙场上,那些战争的作俑者最终难逃时间的淘洗。野花自在芳香;然而,唯有时间才能检验出谁是真正的贤明圣哲;或许,亘古永恒的时间才是真正的圣哲!TIME IS FAIR。歌曲作于六十年代末,是奥斯卡奖影片《毕业生》(THE GRADUTE,1967)的插曲之一,联系当时的时代背景(越南战争),不难领会歌曲的内涵。歌作者保罗.西蒙是六、七十年代青年的代言人。他曾在英国修习英国文学,文学底蕴深厚,因而其歌词文字意境深邃。本歌歌词改编自一首十七世纪英格兰民谣。在演唱上西蒙和加丰科的配合可谓天衣无缝。在万籁寂静的深夜里,让歌声流入你的心田,TOUCH THE DEEP OF YOUR HEART。
