= 愛的忠誠 (bride戴的) faithfulness
= 勇士的盾牌 courage


Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (麻製的衣服)
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework 無接縫
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) 號角

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground 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.
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)

Tell her to reap it in a sickly of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to 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
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
