Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

Please give my regards to a girl there. She was my true love.

Ask her to make a linen dress for me (deep in the castle peak).

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, (chasing birds on the snowy Brown Mountain).

You don't need to sew or sew on it.

So that she can be my true love.

Ask her to find me an acre of land (from a few blades of grass by the hill).

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, (silver tears drop down the grave).

Just between the sea and the coast.

So she can be my true love and let her harvest with a sickle.

(War is roaring and scarlet bullets are screaming), parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

The generals ordered their soldiers to kill people and tied the harvested heather into a bundle.

Fight for a long forgotten reason and make her my true love.

Song background

Vikings are fearless people, while Celts have many mysterious legends. They left us more mystery and legend, but it was these barbarians who wrote this song full of sensitive poetry and subtle bitterness.

The image that often appears in my mind is that the warm smell of hay in autumn is mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, wrapped in the bleak autumn wind, sweeping the earth and fields, passing over the rivers that are about to freeze and the sea that sighs forever. A lonely person, singing a sad song alone, disappeared between heaven and earth

In the second sentence of Scarborough Fair, four kinds of flowers are sung, namely parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, which respectively represent the sweetness, strength, loyalty and courage of love. At present, the most famous version is Scarborough Fair.

That is, the theme song written by Simon and garfinkel for the movie The Graduate (this song surpassed the Beatles' white album and topped the charts of 1968).
