1244 - Maravilhas da Natureza sob a beleza da música

Em tempos de escassez severa do líquido mais precioso da Terra, nada como apreciar imagens belíssimas da água no planeta. Tudo isso ouvindo um clássico da música mundial: "Scarborough Fair", uma canção tradicional inglesa de autoria desconhecida. 
A canção teve muitos intérpretes e versões, sendo a mais destacada a gravação feita pela dupla Simon e Garfunkel, que você pode ver logo abaixo. Geralmente a música é cantada na forma de um dueto de vozes masculina e feminina. 
O nome Scarborough Fair é uma referência à feira de Scarborough, que, na Idade Média, era um dos maiores pontos de referência comercial da Inglaterra.

Cantam juntos homem e mulher:
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

Canta somente o homem:
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor fine needlework
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Which never sprung water nor rain ever fell
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Ask her to do me this courtesy
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And ask for a like favour from me
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Cantam juntos homem e mulher:
Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me from one who lives there
For he once was a true love of mine

Canta somente a mulher:
Ask him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea-sand
For then he'll be a true love of mine

Ask him to plough it with a sheep's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And sow it all over with one peppercorn
For then he'll be a true love of mine

Ask him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it up with a rope made of heather
For then he'll be a true love of mine

When he has done and finished his work
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Ask him to come for his cambric shirt
For then he'll be a true love of mine

Cantam juntos homem e mulher:
If you say that you can't, then I shall reply
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Oh, Let me know that at least you will try
Or you'll never be a true love of mine

Um grande abraço espinosense.
