...A beautiful song....and heartbreaking to one who loves another....but can only dream of any real relationship.You will always have a special place in my life...and an open door if you need one.
I first this song in the 70s by Simon and Garfunkel and it sounded wonderful. Amy Nuttall's version however is so much more haunting and makes it more authentic, being an ancient folklore and that. absolutely wonderful. wonderful to the ears but sometimes love can be hard work.
Actually, the man just wants her to wait for him back. It seems challenges are used to make a context for reminding the important sentence: "parsley sage rosemary and thyme". Thanks for the great song!
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.
It does seem a haunting love ballad,in the above lyrics,he asks her to make a shirt with no seams and no needle work,a sort of impossible task but if she can do it..then she will be his true love.It says, I think how challenging true love is.Almost impossible,If not completley impossible.
the song is actually about two lovers challenging one another. If they both complete all the tasks they feel that they are true loves. theres an entire story behind it
After listening to this song by Sergio Mendez, it didnt make much sense to me, but this video really explains it well. No matter who sings it, it's a beautiful song.

something similar to a high school class reunion .. meeting old friends, old lovers, really old teachers lol , remembering those good times .... I am putting my life to music for my funeral ... using videos from YouTube .. Thanks You Tube ... I hope it's ok ... I'll combine it all on one DVD for the funeral home ... and give everyone there a copy ... 10 copies should cover the whole attendance lol :(((
I love my kids ... my horse, my cats ... my donkeys ,.. I love my life. Why this?
i herd that this song was about this girl who was in love with one man and he was in love with her, but some dude wanted the girl but she said she loved another so the dude told her to get him to prove it. and then the man had to do all this impossible stuff. well thats what i herd. i think what i herd is more romantic :)
Scarborough in Yorkshire was once a major fishing port. In some pubs there one can still see pictures of the Tunny (Tuna) fish caught in the North Sea before that sea was fished out by industrial fishing.
Very nice version, BUT for anyone who truly loves this song listen to "TRUE LOVE" (Scarborough Fair) by Gypsy Soul. This woman's voice is one of the most underrated in the WORLD! My favorite version ever. "Hauntingly beautiful," is an understatement!
I was going through an old Christmas book of ancient carols and I ran across a theme I believe may have possibly been the source of this beautiful tune. It is "Touching Grace, We Princes Three" a Bohemian XVI Century carol written from a XII Century.
The only version I knew before was the one by Simon & Garfunkel. But this video is simply fantastic, specially for the explanation of the lyrics and Amy's beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing.
I read da book impossible by Nany Werlin datz wer I started getting interested in hearing wht da song sounds like..I wonder wht miranda's version sounds like.........
Correction This song has been around since the midevil period... but i must admit Hayley has the voice of an angel. just understand that this song was written by a composer for his ex girlfriend about him sending a message to her that he is dying. way back when they didnt have the grave stuff they do today so they covered the bodies in those herbs and a camberic shirt is a full dress shirt that kept the scent of death more contained. Great
Really nice....I LOVE scarb' fair-[mum was born there]-she's not on this earth anymore, but she LOVED the song . I've never known the reason for the lyrics tho-amazingly noone's ever explained them to me, until now. The 7/7 attack on london, we tend to look at everyone elses 'issues' & 'horrors', & forget our own, on our own soil- The MANY lives taken in WW1 & 2. Thanks for reminding me that you dont forget YOUR OWN-& THE REASON THESE battles were fought----FOR OUR LIBERTY TODAY!
Astonishingly beautiful.... It takes us away to a far off land only seen in dreams! Amazing! And, as some say, "Remember the verses, not the hand that wrote it..." maybe that's why the writter is unkown... Either way, he certainly lives throug this magnificent song!
So beautiful ! I read somewhere that it was supposed to be the voice of an ekfin king giving his would-be bride impossible tasks to attain, but that's probably another interpretation. Or plain bollocks
Sad that the writer of such a thing of beauty will never be known :(
I actually always thought this song told the story of a dying man giving someone his last wishes, that his body be taken to his lover, the cambric shirt a burial shroud, the herbs used for strewing the shroud, the dry well without any water, a grave.
Wikipedia®.....Slightly younger versions often contain one of a group of related refrains:>
Sober and grave grows merry in time
Every rose grows merry with time
There's never a rose grows fairer with time .. I say its about a girl looking for a love at a fair that brings more men to the england from other lands for 45 days .. and they go and sell there herbs .. and flirt .. : ) ?? its about her wanting to loose her chasity .. DUH :)
Maybe it's just me, but this song seems more like a lament of a lost lover, as if longing to have him back but only if his love is true and strong as it once was.
Of one who has been hurt, who's lover left, and now wishes a lover again, either the one who left or a new one, as long as they can prove thier love is as true as she needs, a true love of mine as she says.
@ninkenwolf Funny you should say that. I was reading a book of folklore (published in 1924) and ran across some of these lyrics. It seems that in England (centuries ago) there was held a traditional belief that if a man and woman were betrothed and one of the couple died before the marriage date the living was still bound to the promise by the dead. The only way s/he could be free of the dead betrothed was to fulfill any and all requests made by the dead, no matter how difficult.
Not really metaphorical...pretty straight up. Give me an acre of land and make me a sweater without being able to use materials cause thast how much you love me....no metaphor.
For some reason, when I heard song for the first time ever, I imagined a resourceful and innovative hunter making his settlement in bitter snow. Now this gave me a new vision..
This video is beautiful and at the same time, educational to those of us interested in history and (if you look at it closely) esoteric and magical history...like me. hehe. Anyway, Does anyone know if Amy has her own youtube?
I'm still looking for the version where one of the task is to plant a single corn seed in the acre of land she found and let it grow all over and not be a single blank space with no corn
I'm from this neck of the woods. What can i say about it....well; it's part of the fibre of my being. This lass does a fantastic job of the vocals. Anyone who is not moved by this melody must be emotionally dead. The words too are fantastic and of so deep a meaning. The song itself is almost part of antiquity. It just raises me up every time i hear it and takes me back to a place that i will always be a part of. As you can guess i no longer live there. What an amazing version of this song.
Omg. I love this. o.o" Not just the instruments and the vocals(which are totally mind blowing...such a beautiful, strong voice) but the description--just wonderful to get a quick, yet deep, understanding of this haunting song. Keep it up! ^^
This is a wonderful song and certainly steeped in history. I cannot say I am totally sure I know the history of this folk song; there are many versions of the same history, all of which hold great creedance.
The heart of it's historical meaning lies in all the versions I have seen of this song that has been re-written many times throughout its history.

so beautiful...i could find the right words and song to express my feelings in this sunday morning listening this song...and i use to walk in the beach like this remembering my love that live in another side of the ocean...
I enjoy all versions of this song because I love this song so much, still I think, in my opinion, of course, that the greatest interpretation is the one of MEDIAEVAL BABES.
Great explanation of the songs origin .. but I hate the video and the this version of the song. Apologies for sounding sexist, but only a guy could write such a song of bitter hurt.
And only a MTV video girl would make brash teary looks at the camera seeking empathy. This is a song sung to the sea, the elements. And Simon & Garfunkle sang it great.
Actually, I find this video to be one of the better... Even if Amy Nuttall's facial expressions and the indoor scenes nearly ruined it.
But this video is certainly sung the best. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but no other popular singer (at least on YouTube) has yet sung in a manner so complimenting to the song. This is a song of power and agony, and as far as her singing, it was a perfect match.
The Simon & Garfunkle version of this song has wondrous harmony, but in order to create that I feel they sacrificed the meaning of both Canticle and Scarborough Fair. They lost the intensity and anguish that make this song marvelous. Simon & Garfunkle built something new, beautiful, yes, but they twisted and molded the songs until they had created a new song, not the original. That is their song. This is Scarborough Fair.
A true musician knows that covering a tune is about conveying that story to an audience who wouldn't hear it, otherwise. I already like Simon and Garfunkel's version, but nowadays, artist's (if you can call them artists nowadays) cover what they think would sound good.
It's about getting that message, or the morel of the story out to hose who NEED to learn from it...
someone once told me it might also have come from the cries that street sellers or merchants at fairs would call out, but it's nice to have the meanings as well.
she is singin the male and female parts. But its not the whole song. I like the whole duet becuase at the end the female parts says "And once he has finished all of his tasks, tell him to come clain his camberic shirt." Wiki it to see all of the lyrics that are sepreated by gender. I like this song. Very pretty voice.
This song is spooky smh... the meanings have to be much deeper than what ppl have made it.. id say is subliminal.. it has an eerie feel to it

And only a MTV video girl would make brash teary looks at the camera seeking empathy. This is a song sung to the sea, the elements. And Simon & Garfunkle sang it great.

Actually, I find this video to be one of the better... Even if Amy Nuttall's facial expressions and the indoor scenes nearly ruined it.
But this video is certainly sung the best. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but no other popular singer (at least on YouTube) has yet sung in a manner so complimenting to the song. This is a song of power and agony, and as far as her singing, it was a perfect match.

The Simon & Garfunkle version of this song has wondrous harmony, but in order to create that I feel they sacrificed the meaning of both Canticle and Scarborough Fair. They lost the intensity and anguish that make this song marvelous. Simon & Garfunkle built something new, beautiful, yes, but they twisted and molded the songs until they had created a new song, not the original. That is their song. This is Scarborough Fair.

very!I don't know why, but every time I listen to it I have the feeling that the meaning is changing...

A true musician knows that covering a tune is about conveying that story to an audience who wouldn't hear it, otherwise. I already like Simon and Garfunkel's version, but nowadays, artist's (if you can call them artists nowadays) cover what they think would sound good.
It's about getting that message, or the morel of the story out to hose who NEED to learn from it...

Prefer the Omnia version, it's alot more rugged and gritty.
But this version isn't bad.

Actually, the King himself wrote it for Anne Boleyn, his wife to be at that moment in time.

I thought this was just a song about the impossibility of unrequited love - ie impossible to resolve.
this actually explains how it fits the movie really well
and the flute is perfect too. nice video

Well done buddy, and thanks! I was actually wondering what the whole "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" verse was all about!
Top job!

someone once told me it might also have come from the cries that street sellers or merchants at fairs would call out, but it's nice to have the meanings as well.

she is singin the male and female parts. But its not the whole song. I like the whole duet becuase at the end the female parts says "And once he has finished all of his tasks, tell him to come clain his camberic shirt." Wiki it to see all of the lyrics that are sepreated by gender. I like this song. Very pretty voice.

This song was written by a man in the 1200's from the scarborough, England area to his lover. There are no female parts.
