这是一首Simon & Garfunkel的老歌,伴我走过了大学时代。
第一次听,是在大一圣诞前夕。围在寝室里做手工礼物时,这个旋律不经意地从录音机
里飘出。那种娓娓道来的伤感,波澜不惊下的暗涌,立刻攫取了我的心。那时还流行纸
卡和写信,是电子风暴袭来前最后温馨的夜晚。
一年后,遇到同样喜欢这首歌的人。一起看烛光浮在平安夜的水面,一起和着声轻轻地
唱起来。心灵相通的感觉,无需诉诸言语。
又一年,跟好友在晚会上合唱。当吉他前奏缓缓响起,喧嚣的会场霎时安静。后来同学
说那是当晚最精彩的节目,而我,只是在唱给一个人听。
那时的天总是很蓝,日子总过得太慢。
你总说毕业遥遥无期,转眼就各奔东西。
只有这首歌留了下来,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
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snow crested ground)
Without no seams nor needle 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 an 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 strands
(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 battalions)
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
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
