Scarborough Fair

Scarborough Fair

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
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strands
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And bind it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Aonach Scarborough

Bhfuil tú ag triall ar Scarborough Fair?
Peirsil, sáiste, marós is tím
An luafá mé le hainnirín séimh?
Bhí sí tráth an-ghar do mo chroí.

Abair léi léine as cáimric a shníomh
Peirsil, sáiste, marós is tím
Gan uaim ar bith ná oiread na fríd’
Beidh sí fós an-ghar do mo chroí.

Abair léi acra talún a fháil
Peirsil, sáiste, marós is tím
Idir na dumhcha agus an sáil’
Beidh sí fós an-ghar do mo chroí.

Abair léi é ’bhaint le corrán de leathar
Peirsil, sáiste, marós is tím
Is dornán beag fraoigh chun é a cheangal
Beidh sí fós an-ghar do mo chroí.
