类别(音乐) | 评论(0) | 阅读(199) | 发表于 20:11: 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。

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)。

scarborough fair

scarborough fair
(from the graduate)

sung by "simon garfunkle"

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 sides 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 needless work
(blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
then she'll be a true love of mine
(sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

tell her to find me on 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 polishes a gun)
then she'll be a true love of mine

tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(war bellows 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; 0
