怀旧老歌《毕业生》悠扬主题曲Scarborough Fair
《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?
