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.

LILJA, RUUSU JA KIRSIKKAPUU

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan,
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu.
Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan,
paljon jää ja pois unohtuu.

Kerroinko kaikkea, minkä mä näin,
(kaiken kauneimman luonnossa sinussa näin)
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu.
(vaikka usein mä sanoitta jäin)
Niin monta kertaa sanoitta jäin,
(myöhäistä, myöhäistä on)
polku luokses' nyt sammaltuu.

Kertoa kuinka nyt sinulle voin,
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu.
Kun lähdit, niin kaiken jäätyvän koin,
laulu linnun pois vaientuu.
(hiljaisuus mua tervehtii)
