SCARBOROUGH FAIR LYRICS
1. 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
2. Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine
*******
3. Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine
4. 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
(come back 1, 2, 3, 4.)

ABOUT THE SONG "SCARBOROUGH FAIR"
"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English fair, as well as a traditional English ballad.
The song tells the tale of a young man, who tells the listener to ask his former lover to perform for him a series of IMPOSSIBLE TASKS, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.
Sarah Brightman's cover of "Scarborough Fair" appears on her 2000 album La Luna. Her version was also released as the lead off single from the album. Though she omits most of the lyrics that are given above, the lyrics that are in her song are reproduced here accurately.

EXPLANATIONS OF THE LYRICS
The narrator of the song is a man who was jilted by his lover. Although dealing with the paradoxes he sees himself posed to in a very subtle and poetic manner, this was a folk song and not written by nobles. The courtly ideal of romantic love in the middle ages, practiced by knights and noblemen, was loving a lady and adoring her from a distance, in a very detached manner. There was hardly a dream and sometimes not even a wish that such love could ever be answered.
THE MEANING OF PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME
The herbs parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, recurring in the second line of each stanza, make up for a key motive in the song. Although meaningless to most people today, these herbs spoke to the imagination of medieval people as much as red roses do to us today. Without any connotation necessary, they symbolize virtues the singer wishes his true love and himself to have, in order to make it possible for her to come back again.

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 needlework, then shell 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 strand, then shell be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather, then shell be a true love of mine
Are you goin to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine |

Scarborough Faire Canticle - Simon and Garfunkel
|
This English folk song dates back to late medieval times, when the seaside resort of Scarborough was an important venue for tradesmen from all over England. Founded well over a thousand years ago, Scarborough Faire was a 45 day trading event in medieval times. I used the Book of Hours to tell the story of Scarborough Faire and also the Canticle under it. The lyrics can be found here http://www.sing365.com/music/Lyric.nsf/SCARBOROUGH-FAIR-lyrics-Simon-and-Garfunkel/DF7763A4F14B2EEB48356896000FF5B9
Other paintings used included Vermeer and Van Ecke, both baroque painters around 500 years ago. |
