| SCARBOROUGH FAIR/CANTICLE, PROVIDED WITH THE ELFIN KNIGHT, WHITTINGHAM FAIR AND ROSEMARY LANE, AND WITH AN APPENDIX ON RIDDLES WISELY EXPOUNDED A1. SCARBOROUGH FAIR Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there,She once was a true love of mine. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Without no seams nor needlework,Then she'll be a true love of mine. Tell her to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Between the salt water and the sea strand,Then she'll be a true love of mine. Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme And to gather it all in a bunch of heather,Then she'll be a true love of mine. Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there,She once was a true love of mine. 2. CANTICLE On the side of a hill in the deep forest green Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains Sleeps unaware of the clarion call On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves Washed is the ground with so many tears A soldier cleans and polishes a gun War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions Generals order their soldiers to kill And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten. | SCARBOROUGH FAIR Quando andrai a Scarborough Fair salvia, menta, prezzemolo e timo Tu porta il segno del mio rimpianto alla donna che allora io amavo. Vorrei in dono una camicia di lino salvia, menta, prezzemolo e timo tu dille che non voglio ricami ma che sappia che ancora io l'amo. Per me basta un acro di terra salvia, menta, prezzemolo e timo Quella casa tra il mare e le dune e la donna che allora io amavo. Tornerò a coltivare i miei campi salvia, menta, prezzemolo e timo e distese di erica in fiore perché sappia che ancora io l'amo. |
