英文版“诗经”---斯卡布罗集市

Scarborough Fair

斯卡布罗集市

Are you going to Scarborough Fair

问尔所之，是否如适

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷

Remember me to one who lives there

彼方淑女，凭君寄辞

She once was a true love of mine

伊人曾在，与我相知 

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

嘱彼佳人，备我衣缁

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷

Without no seams nor needle work

勿用针砧，无隙无疵

Then she will be a true love of mine

伊人何在，慰我相思

On the side of hill in the deep forest green

彼山之阴，深林荒址

Tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown

冬寻毡毯，老雀燕子

Blankets and bed clothers the child of mountain

雪覆四野，高山迟滞

Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

眠而不觉，寒笳清嘶

Tell her to find me an acre of land

嘱彼佳人，营我家室

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷

Between the salt water and the sea strand

良田所修，大海之坻

Then she will be a true love of mine

伊人应在，任我相视

On the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves

彼山之阴，叶疏苔蚀

Washes the grave with slivery tears

涤我孤冢，珠泪渐渍

A soldier cleans and polishes a gun

惜我长剑，日日拂拭

Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

寂而不觉，寒笳长嘶

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather

嘱彼佳人，收我秋实

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷

And gather it all in a bunch of heather

敛之集之，勿弃勿失

Then she will be a true love of mine

伊人犹在，唯我相誓

War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions

烽火印啸，浴血之师

Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a cause

将帅有令，勤王之事

They have long ago forgotten

争斗缘何，久忘其旨

Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

痴而不觉，寒笳悲嘶
