[LOTUS]偽造詩經
Yong Xu
一首老歌。因為它不那么美國，因為它那種幽怨的低唱。
我總覺得它和詩經有一種很微妙的契合，縱然一個是公元之前，而另
一個是百世以后。
它的旋律，仿佛是一陣清風，夾雜著野草野花的苦寒輕香，在大地上
緩緩掠過﹔而我更看見一個穿白衣服的人搖著木鐸，邊走邊呼喚著蒼穹，
在一望無際的大地與村庄之間采集夢幻。
真的很難忘卻這種莫名的聯想。很喜歡在異邦的文明之中，還能尋出
這樣令我心折的古中國的意韻。
試著用詩經的格式翻了下，填到原曲中，竟也能唱。
Are you going to Scarborough Fair問爾所之，是否如適
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme 蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
Remember me to one who lives there彼方淑女，憑君寄辭
She once was a true love of mine 伊人曾在，與我相知
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt囑彼佳人，備我衣緇
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme 蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
Without no seams nor needle work 勿用針砧，無隙無疵
Then she will be a true love of mine伊人何在，慰我相思
伴唱：
On the side of hill in the deep forest green彼山之陰，深林荒址
Tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown 冬尋氈毯，老雀燕子
Blankets and bed clothers the child of maintain雪覆四野，高山遲滯
Sleeps unawafe of the clarion call 眠而不覺，寒笳清嘶
Tell her to find me an acre of land 囑彼佳人，營我家室
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme 蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
Between the salt water and the sea strand良田所修，大海之坻
Then she will be a true love of mine 伊人應在，任我相視
伴唱：
On the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves 彼山之陰，葉疏苔蝕
Washes the grave with slivery tears 滌我孤塚，珠淚漸漬
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun 昔我長劍，日日拂拭
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call 寂而不覺，寒笳長嘶
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather 囑彼佳人，收我秋實
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme 蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
And gather it all in a bunch of heather 斂之集之，勿棄勿失
Then she will be a ture love of mine 伊人猶在，唯我相誓
伴唱：
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions 烽火印嘯，浴血之師
Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a cause
將帥有令，勤王之事
They have long ago forgoten 爭斗緣何，久忘其旨
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call 痴而不覺，寒笳悲嘶
（再重復一遍第一段）
