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 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
(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 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
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 |
