的幽灵，一边擦拭着自己的武器，一边恋恋不舍地拦住路过的商人，请求他们捎去自己
对远方恋人的爱和思念，捎去他永远再也不能实现的诺言。 Scarborough 是英国东海
岸偏北的一座海滨城市。 里面出现了一些香草的名字：欧芹（Parsley）、鼠尾草（
sage）、迷迭香（rosemary）和百里香（thyme）都是当地（Scarborough Fair）著名
的香草，并且有着各自不同的象征意义，这四种植物与死亡有着某种联系， 放到歌词
里，是起到一种点题的抒情作用。

勿用针砧,无隙无疵without no seams nor needle work.
伊人何在,慰我相思then she ll be a true love of mine.
彼山之阴,深林荒址on the side of hill in the deep forest green,
冬寻毡毯,老雀燕子tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown.
雪覆四野,高山迟滞blankets and bed clothiers the child of maintain
眠而不觉,寒笳清嘶sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
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 ll be a true love of mine.
彼山之阴,叶疏苔蚀on the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves
涤我孤冢,珠泪渐渍washes the grave with slivery tears.
惜我长剑,日日拂拭asoldier cleans and polishes a gun.
寂而不觉,寒笳长嘶sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
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 ll be a true love of mine.
烽火印啸,浴血之师war bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
将帅有令,勤王之事generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a
cause.
争斗缘何,久忘其旨they have long ago forgotten.
痴而不觉,寒笳悲嘶sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
问尔所之,是否如适are you going to scarborough fair?

彼方淑女,凭君寄辞remember me to one who lives there.
