[English]

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

He once was a true love of mine

...

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Without no seam nor needlework

Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him to find me an acre of land

(To find me an acre of land)

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

(Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme)

Between the saltwater and the sea sand

Then he'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

He once was a true love of mine
