 Scarborough Fair是美国六十年代最受大学生欢迎的电影、1968年奥斯卡获奖片《毕业生》(达斯汀·霍夫曼主演,其成名作)中的主题曲,歌曲名称:《Scarborough Fair》(中译:斯坎伯瑞集市),原唱歌手:Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)和Art Garfunkel(加芬克尔),作词:Paul Simon - Art Garfunkel,作曲:Paul Simon - Art Garfunke。

背景:“斯卡堡集市“原是一首英国歌曲,一首唱威丁顿集市的歌。1965年,保罗从一位英国民歌手,马丁卡西那里学会了这首歌的旋律,加工成了现在的“斯卡堡集市“,并成为永恒的畅销金曲。

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。
斯卡堡集市

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*

您去过斯卡保集市吗?
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。

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)

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)

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

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。

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

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。
