Scarborough Fair(史卡保罗展览会) Scarborough Fair(Canticle)：译作史卡保罗展览会或史卡保罗集市或斯镇颂歌，达斯汀·霍夫曼主演的美国电影《毕业生》(The Graduate)中的主题曲，旋律极其优美，歌词更是因其扑朔迷离之美令人赞叹，由亲如兄弟一般的保罗西蒙(Paul Simon)和加丰凯尔(Art Garfunkel)将这首歌演绎得几近完美无缺。
关于这首歌歌词的翻译有许多版本，然而大都很难表达歌曲带给人的那种意境，即使是诗经一般的版本也难免牵强；这首歌从第二段到第四段有副歌，副歌中讲述的是一段与战争有关的故事，总的说来歌曲描述的是一些经典的主题：战争、爱情还有思乡之情，战争也许永远不会结束，爱情也永远不会消失，遥远的家乡的一切也会永久地沉淀于无休止的思念，Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme....
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 the snow crested brown)
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 strand
(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
