Scarborough Fair

怀旧老歌《毕业生》悠扬主题曲Scarborough Fair

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

《毕业生》是达斯汀·霍夫曼的成名之作,其颠覆性与破坏性的特质在影坛有着里程碑式的意义。而片中诸多金曲都是来自当红乐队“Simon And Garfunkel”主唱Paul Simon的力作,“The Sound Of Silence”、“Scarborough Fair”、“Mrs. Robinson”等歌都脍炙人口,尤其这首Scarborough Fair《斯卡保罗集市》脱胎于英国民谣,清新动人的旋律给人一种纯净忧伤的感觉。

Scarborough Fair诗经版的歌词翻译

译序:
  闲来无事,听歌,听老歌。Scarborough Fair是我很喜欢的一首老歌。因为它不那么美国,因为它那种幽怨的低唱。我总觉得它和《诗经》有一种很微妙的契合,纵然一个是公元之前,而另一个是百世以后。它的旋律,仿佛是一阵清风,夹杂着野草野花的苦寒轻香,在大地上缓缓掠过;而我更看见一个穿白衣服的人摇着木铎,边走边呼唤着苍穹,在一望无际的大地与村庄之间采集梦幻。真的很难忘却这种莫名的联想。很喜欢在异邦的文明之中,还能寻出这样令我心折的古中国的意韵。试着用诗经的格式翻了下,填到原曲中,竟也能唱。

  问尔所之,是否如适 are you going to scarborough fair?
  蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 parsley sage rosemary and thyme.
  彼方淑女,凭君寄辞 remember me to one who lives there.
  伊人曾在,与我相知 she once was a true love of mine.
  嘱彼佳人,备我衣缁 tell her to make me a cambric shirt.
  蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 parsley sage rosemary and thyme.
  勿用针砧,无隙无疵 without no seams nor needle work.
  伊人何在,慰我相思 then she will be a true love of mine.
  【伴唱】:
  彼山之阴,深林荒址 on the side of hill in the deep forest green,
  冬寻毡毯,老雀燕子 tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown.
  雪覆四野,高山迟滞 blankets and bed clothiers the child of maintain
  眠而不觉,寒笳清嘶 sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
  嘱彼佳人,营我家室 tell her to find me an acre of land.
  蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 parsley sage rosemary and thyme.
  良田所修,大海之坻 between the salt water and the sea strand,
  伊人应在,任我相视 then she will be a true love of mine.
  
  【伴唱】:
  彼山之阴,叶疏苔蚀 on the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves
  涤我孤冢,珠泪渐渍 washes the grave with slivery tears.
  惜我长剑,日日拂拭 asoldier cleans and polishes a gun.
  寂而不觉,寒笳长嘶 sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
  嘱彼佳人,收我秋实 tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather.
  蕙兰芫荽,郁郁香芷 parsley sage rosemary and thyme.
  敛之集之,勿弃勿失 and gather it all in a bunch of heather.
  伊人犹在,唯我相誓 then she will be a true love of mine.
  【伴唱】:
  烽火印啸,浴血之师 war bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
  将帅有令,勤王之事 generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a cause.
  争斗缘何,久忘其旨 they have long ago forgotten.
  痴而不觉,寒笳悲嘶 sleeps unaware of the clarion call

Scarborough Fair (《毕业生》插曲)

Scarborough Fair(斯卡堡集市,也译作“斯卡波罗集市”),是一首旋律优美的经典英文歌曲,曾作为第40届奥斯卡提名影片《毕业生》(The Graduate)的插曲,曲调凄美婉转,给人以心灵深处的触动。Scarborough Fair 原是一首古老的英国民歌,其起源可一直追溯到中世纪,原唱歌手为保罗·西蒙(Paul Simon)和阿特·加芬克尔(Art Garfunkel)。莎拉·布莱曼(Sarah Brightman)翻唱过该歌曲,收录于2000年专辑 La Luna。此外来自英伦岛屿的 Gregorian格里高利合唱团(又称“教皇合唱团”)也曾翻唱过该歌曲。大陆填词人潘月剑根据该作品旋律,填写了中文版歌词《往事如歌》。

Scarborough Fair原是一首古老的英国民歌,其起源可一直追溯到中世纪,保罗·西蒙在英国学习期间从英国民歌歌手Martin Carthy(马汀·卡西)处学会了这首民歌,并对其进行改编,加入了自己创作的一首The Side of A Hill 作为副歌。由加芬克尔(Art Garfunkel)作曲并演唱的副歌做为歌曲的和音在听觉的感受上不是特别强烈,因此很多人对副歌不太留意,认为副歌只是歌唱的一种处理形式,实际上副歌却是整个歌曲的灵魂,赋予了歌曲以反战的主题。[1] 该歌曲还被用作电影《毕业生》的插曲,大受20世纪60年代美国大学生欢迎。

往事如歌
潘月剑填词 佚名作曲 

踏雪寻梅 并非有意
偏偏与你相遇相识
冥冥之中 仿佛天意注定
怎不让人心存感激
桃花开了 纸鸢比翼
结伴踏青与你相知
手牵着手 一路欢声笑语
幸福洋溢彼此心里
荷塘泛舟 鸳鸯嬉戏
情也相悦心也默契
采了红菱 采了荷叶莲子
采得满心欢喜甜蜜
金风送爽 菊花满地
雁队南飞飞过天际
远行的你 再也没有音讯
空留给人一声叹息
往事如歌 红尘如梦
缘来缘去自有天意
凭栏望月啊祝福心上人
一腔心事 愿你能知

斯卡波罗镇

Scarborough是中世纪英格兰约克郡东北海岸的一座滨海小镇,是由于维京人经常的登陆、作一些交换而形成的一个定期集市(Fair)。英格兰国王亨利三世在1253年1月22日签署了一份皇家宪章允许Scarborough镇于每年8月15日至9月29日期间举行集市。在历史上在几百年的时间里,小镇从每年的8月15日开始会有一个当时连续交易时间最长(45天)的集市,吸引着来自全英格兰甚至全欧洲的商人。直到1383年,Scarborough Fair的繁荣急剧下降。[3]

歌曲原型

Scarborough Fair的歌曲原型来自The Elfin Knight (Child #2),即“妖精骑士”(查尔德民歌集第二号),最早见诸记载是在英格兰1673年。这首民谣主要流传于英伦三岛和爱尔兰,在美国东部一些州和加拿大西部地区也有传唱的记载。在不同记载中不同的歌词版本有近20种,不同的歌名也有十多种。歌名为Scarborough Fair的版本见于十九世纪。尽管如此,歌曲最初的内容情节大体相似,只是越到近代原来的情节线索越不明显,妖精骑士的身份被淡化甚至去除。下面就是最初版本的The Elfin Knight歌词。

My plaid awa, my plaid awa,
And ore the hill and far awa,
And far awa to Norrowa,
My plaid shall not be blown awa.
The elphin knight sits on yon hill,
Ba, ba, ba, lilli ba
He blaws his horn both lewd and shril.
The wind hath blown my plaid awa
He blowes it east, he blowes it west,
He blowes it where he lyketh best.
I wish that horn were in my kist,
Yea, and the knight in my armes two.’
She had no sooner these words said,
When that the knight came to her bed.
Thou art over young a maid,’ quoth he,
’Married with me thou il wouldst be.’
I have a sister younger than I,
And she was married yesterday.
Married with me if thou wouldst be,
A courtesie thou must do to me.
For thou must shape a sark to me,
Without any cut or heme,’ quoth he.
Thou must shape it knife-and-sheerlesse,
And also sue it needle-threedlesse.’
If that piece of courtesie I do to thee,
Another thou must do to me.
I have an aiker of good ley-land,
Which lyeth low by yon sea-strand.
For thou must eare it with thy horn,
So thou must sow it with thy corn.
And bigg a cart of stone and lyme,
Robin Redbreast he must trail it hame.
Thou must barn it in a mouse-hell,
And thrash it into thy shoes sell.
And thou must winnow it in thy looff,
And also seek it in thy glove.
For thou must bring it over the sea,
And thou must bring it dry home to me.
When thou hast gotten thy turns well done,
Then come to me and get thy sark then.’
I’llnot quite my plaid for my life;
It haps my seven bairns and my wife.’
The wind shall not blow my plaid awa
My maidenhead I’1 then keep still,
Let the elphin knight do what he will.’
The wind’s not blown my plaid awa

歌词大意:妖精骑士与一位相好的姑娘调侃,他答应娶姑娘,但她必须做到一系列不可能做到的事情;而姑娘答应做到这些事情,但妖精骑士必须先做到她要求的种种无法实现之事。

1810年版本中的此部分既保留了原歌曲的主要情节,又接近今天我们听到的 Scarborough Fair 的内容,大意为:你能否为我做一件亚麻衬衣,但不能有褶缝和针角?濯洗于远方的枯井,晾于从未开花的荆棘?好,你提了三个问题请先回答我的问题,能否为我在沙海之间找一方土地?用羊角耕地,播一粒胡椒种,收割以皮镰刀,束以孔雀羽?做完了这些事你再来取你的亚麻衬衣。

而我们今天听到的Simon & Garfunkel的演唱录制于1965年,相互诘问的情节已支离破碎,很难看出,读起来倒像是昔日情人间的私语。另外妖精骑士完全消失,主人公可以引申为一般的普通人。这是这首古老民歌被赋予新意的所在,全部是Paul Simon加入或更改的词句。
