〔スカボロー城跡〕

【画面上でクリックして、拡大して御覧ください!】

2004年9月に、二回目のガーナ訪問の復路、英国の北・東海岸町スカボローを訪れました。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　かの有名なフォークソング：スカボロー・フェアに出てくる町です。

スカボローは、その昔ヨーク地方の中心地として市が立ち、それがスカボロー・フェアです。

その後は、英国最初の保養地として、お城や温泉などの施設を初めとした観光地として有名です。

　　　　　　　　　　　　また　セント・メアリー教会に、『アン・ブロンテ』のお墓があります・・・・

〔Scarborough Fair〕
【1968(S.43)年、サイモンとガーファンクルが歌って、大ヒットしましたが、原曲は民謡です。】

BOTH
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there,
For she once was a true love of mine.

MAN
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without no seam nor fine needlework,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Which never sprung water nor rain ever fell,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Ask her to do me this courtesy,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And ask for a like favour from me,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

BOTH
Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me from one who lives there,
For he once was a true love of mine.
Scarborough Fair

WOMAN
Ask him to find me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between the salt water and the sea-sand,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

Ask him to plough it with a sheep's horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And sow it all over with one peppercorn,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

Ask him to reap it with a sickle of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And gather it up with a rope made of heather,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

When he has done and finished his work,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Ask him to come for his cambric shirt,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

BOTH
If you say that you can't, then I shall reply,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Oh, Let me know that at least you will try,
Or you'll never be a true love of mine.
