目录歌曲历史编辑《Scarborough Fair》原是一首古老的英国民歌，其起源可一直追溯到中世纪，保罗·西蒙在英国学习期间从英国民歌歌手Martin Carthy（马汀·卡西）处学会了这首民歌，并对其进行改编，加入了自己创作的一首《The Side of A Hill》作为副歌。由加芬克尔（Art Garfunkel）作曲并演唱的副歌做为歌曲的和音在听觉的感受上不是特别强烈，因此很多人对副歌不太留意，认为副歌只是歌唱的一种处理形式，实际上副歌却是整个歌曲的灵魂，赋予了歌曲以反战的主题。[1] 该歌曲还被用作电影《毕业生》的插曲，大受20世纪60年代美国大学生欢迎。 歌词编辑男版Are you going to Scarborough Fair?您要去斯卡波罗集市吗？ Remember me to one who lives there,代我向那儿的一位姑娘问好 She once was the true love of mine.她曾经是我的爱人 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.叫她替我做件麻布衣衫 Without no seams nor needlework.上面不用缝口，也不用针线 Then she'll be a true love of mine.她就会是我真正的爱人 Tell her to find me an acre of land.叫她替我找一块地 Between salt water and the sea strand.就在沙滩和大海之间 Then she'll be a true love of mine.她就会是我真正的爱人 Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather.叫她用一把皮镰收割 And gather it all in a bunch of heather.用石楠草捆扎成束 Then she'll be a true love of mine.她就会是我真正的爱人 Are you going to Scarborough Fair?您要去斯卡波罗集市吗？ Remember me to one who lives there,代我向那儿的一位姑娘问好 副歌On the side of a hill in the deep forest green 绿林深处山冈旁 Tracing of sparrow on the snow crested brown在白雪封顶的褐色山上追逐雀儿 Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain大山是山之子的地毯和床单 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call熟睡中不觉号角声声呼唤 On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves小山旁几片小草叶 Washes the grave with silvery tears滴下的银色泪珠冲刷着坟茔 A soldier cleans and polishes a gun士兵擦拭着他的枪 War bells blazing in scarlet battalion猩红的枪弹伴随战鼓隆隆 Generals order their soldiers to kill将军们命令麾下的士兵杀戮 And to fight for a cause they`re long ago forgotten为一个早已遗忘的理由而战 女版Sarah Brightman，无副歌，把所有she改成he Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

The elphin knight sits on yon hill, Ba, ba, ba, lilli ba He blaws his horn both lewd and shril. The wind hath blown my plaid awa He blowes it east, he blowes it west, He blowes it where he lyketh best. I wish that horn were in my kist, Yea, and the knight in my armes two.’ She had no sooner these words said, When that the knight came to her bed. Thou art over young a maid,’ quoth he, ’Married with me thou il wouldst be.’ I have a sister younger than I, And she was married yesterday. Married with me if thou wouldst be, A courtesie thou must do to me. For thou must shape a sark to me, Without any cut or heme,’ quoth he. Thou must shape it knife-and-sheerlesse, And also sue it needle-threedlesse.’ If that piece of courtesie I do to thee, Another thou must do to me. I have an aiker of good ley-land, Which lyeth low by yon sea-strand. For thou must eare it with thy horn, So thou must sow it with thy corn. And bigg a cart of stone and lyme, Robin Redbreast he must trail it hame. Thou must barn it in a mouse-hell, And thrash it into thy shoes sell. And thou must winnow it in thy looff, And also seek it in thy glove. For thou must bring it over the sea, And thou must bring it dry home to me. When thou hast gotten thy turns well done, Then come to me and get thy sark then.’ I’llnot quite my plaid for my life; It haps my seven bairns and my wife.’ The wind shall not blow my plaid awa My maidenhead I’1 then keep still, Let the elphin knight do what he will.’ The wind’s not blown my plaid awa 歌词大意：妖精骑士与一位相好的姑娘调侃，他答应娶姑娘，但她必须做到一系列不可能做到的事情；而姑娘答应做到这些事情，但妖精骑士必须先做到她要求的种种无法实现之事。 1810年版本中的此部分既保留了原歌曲的主要情节，又接近今天我们听到的 Scarborough Fair的内容，大意为：你能否为我做一件亚麻衬衣，但不能有褶缝和针角？濯洗于远方的枯井，晾于从未开花的荆棘？好，你提了三个问题请先回答我的问题，能否为我在沙海之间找一方土地？用羊角耕地，播一粒胡椒种，收割以皮镰刀，束以孔雀羽？做完了这些事你再来取你的亚麻衬衣。 而我们今天听到的Simon & Garfunkel的演唱录制于1965年，相互诘问的情节已支离破碎，很难看出，读起来倒像是昔日情人间的私语。另外妖精骑士完全消失，主人公可以引申为一般的普通人。这是这首古老民歌被赋予新意的所在，全部是Paul Simon加入或更改的词句。
