Scarborough had one of the longest annual fairs in the Medieval days, of 40 days from July into September. It imported exotic goods from all over Europe, & much wine, while Scarborough made pottery was exported all around the North Sea. This 14th century ballad recalls those days.
For me this is the best Scarborough fair version ever!! Her voice is angelic!!! After so many years listening to it for the first time I always look for this video.😍😍😍🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️
I'm now 38yrs old . This song used to be sung on the assembly hall gatherings especially when outdoor play wasn't permitted due to rainfall. How nostalgic memories flood my emotions and tears fill my eyes, my heart yearns for the good old innocence of childhood. Bless you all
There's a video that explains the meaning behind the lyrics. The impossibility of courtly love, the traditional properties of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, etc. A shirt made of cambric - the layer between the bark and wood of a tree, an acre of land between the place where the sea meets the shore, all of the things that are more likely than a noble woman be permitted to dally with a common man. I find it interesting though, that without the constraints of "courtly love", many of us still set impossible goals as the price of winning our love!
Your comment made this song mystic. And I who have listened to this song so many times. And listened to the song as a normal love song. Oh Amy you sing the song so beautiful.
Oui, c'était est une chanson qui a accompagné mon épouse et moi depuis prêts de 60 ans, elle nous a donné quand il faisait noir, la lumière, quand on pensait ca sert à quoi tout çà, l'espoir, un rève, aujourd'hui c'est nos enfants qui la jouent et les petits commencent déja, avant de partir pour le grand voyage nous avons l'intention d'aller à scarborough, peut être
I don’t quite think it’s a song for lovers, perhaps more ex lovers. If you listen to the lyrics it’s pretty much asking for impossible thing “find me an acre of land between salt water and sea strand” and “make me a cambric shirt without a seam or needlework” once they can do these impossible things only then can they be lovers again
Wow truly a lovely song. Amy is still so beautiful and a great actress. I'm watching her in my husband's double life. I've watched this film 3 times terrific film great acting and storyline. Beautiful lady and voice!
The most rock and roll version of Scarborough Fair was done by Queensrÿche when they covered this song on their 1990 album Empire. I love both versions.
I searched specifically for this. Thought i have lost it, because listened to this about 6 or 7 years ago. And here it is. And it is beautiful Thank you, Amy, for being so magically Celtic
Thanks, Amy. I've loved this song since first hearing Simon and Garfunkel sing it so long ago. But it's been a long time since I felt chills run up my back as I just did listening to you sing it.
The most beautiful version by a most beautiful woman!. Every time I play this video, I always wonder if I’ll find a woman like her. Outstanding singing! MARRY ME!😁😃😍🥰
Beautiful, I heard this song a long time ago when I was younger, I kept singing it, learned the words 'parsley, sage...' on the piano and now I know the whole thing. Her voice reminded me of the song from Wuthering Heights.
My sister gathered together little stick figures that her husband drew when he was a child. She some how copied this replica and reproduced the stick figures onto cloth and ended up hand-sewing for him a very lovely shirt . She gave this to him on this birthday. I just thought it was the coolest gift.
Amazing rendition! When I saw the thumbnail, I realized that Amy Nuttall played the role of "Ethel Parks" during the second and third seasons of Downton Abbey. I had no idea that she sang so wonderfully.
I love this song and I heard it 3 times it makes me remember my beloved who will always be in my heart may he all ways be with us. rip my beloved uncle😘😭
I first heard this song in choir and I've remembered the lyrics ever since. I sung this in music and 2 of the boys listened in and they made me sing it in front of the class. they then said that it was "angelic".... I went super red
Among the many versions of this Scarborough Fair, this woman, Amy Nutall, sang it as what our Ancestors pass to us as lullaby when they heard it from the early settlers. That is what my grandmother told me. Listen later in the song, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Ends, Time. It tells us of the end of time. Thyme being time. Ends instead of And. Meaning there is only eternity without And. No And, no End.
what I know is that the lyrics are supposed to be "yesterday holds memories in time", but as it happens with folk songs, the lyrics changed as time passed
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. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green). Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground). Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain). Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call). Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves). Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears). Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun). Then she'll be a true love of mine. Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions). Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill). And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten). Then she'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, she once was a true love of mine.
amy your voice and instrument sounds are truly of the highest order dramatic yet sweet sensetive perfect don't listen to critics they re just jelous .your song style pierces my heart every time i watch you sing it are you married?
I was looking for youtube for a long time the best vocal version of this song. There are many beautiful, but this one is the best. All notes patiently endured while maintaining the atmosphere of this beautiful Celtic song. Beautiful timbre, deep breath and calmness, without fear that nothing bad will happen.
Beautiful song by a beautiful woman with a gorgeous voice. Best version of one of the greatest songs of all time.This version will be played at my funeral.Amy you are the greatest.
Please, please sing The Green Fields of France to the tune of Dropkick Murphy's. For a Veteran whose served his time and made it to the "promised land" of home. And one who sometimes remembers those who can not sit at my table and enjoy this time with me. Not just the ones I knew, whose kids I saw cry after they had gone; but to the ones before me, the ones I never met. The Men whose pants were wet at Normandy, and those who know the smell of mustard gas, and the smell of Viet Nam after a rain. The ones who know the sands of Iraq, and those who remember licking a stamp. Time stops for us all at some point and your beautiful voice has the ability to stop time, if even for a moment. Thank you in advance. V/r, Jeff
I like 70s rock and pop and a little metal once in a while but I can't stop listening to this. This is so beautiful and sung so well! Makes me tear up. Great modulation!

All version of this song "is the best" Ergo, someone must be wrong
Absolutely the best version. One can listen to it again and again.

I have heard so many versions of this over the decades, this is the best.
This and Hayley Westenra's version are the best
Totally agreed
All version of this song "is the best" Ergo, someone must be wrong
My favorite is the Queensryche version personally but this is fantastic too
@@ingesoft2009Or maybe they're all right because music is entirely subjective

tonopahbarry ...Beautifully put👍👍💘
Beautiful comment, you poet!
So the woman in the song is being sarcastic in a sense?
Or we can totally ignore the fact this was a song about the fae, lol
Your comment made this song mystic. And I who have listened to this song so many times. And listened to the song as a normal love song. Oh Amy you sing the song so beautiful.
Beautiful voice and so suited to this haunting English folk song.
True. And also Liv Kristine sounds beautiful: ruclips.net/video/8qYEHVvZsQA/видео.html
So so f,, kin English...... What a woman.... 👍
Based on the 17th Century Scottish Ballad called The Elfin Knight .....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elfin_Knight
@@trebleking1641 this folk song is much older than that. It's at least 1,000 years old ...
this song touched my heart for the first time back in 1975 and 40 years later still does it

I believe it has touched many hearts since 1670 :)
Vero tocca il cuore , ha delle frequenze vibrazionali angeliche
@@rolandmartin1483 Do it ! That place is so important to you two... It' s there , silently waiting...
Dorian key!
Awesome tune and my favorite version of Scarborough Fair. Amy is an incredibly talented and very beautiful woman. Amazing.
...Amy Nuttall, beautiful song, beautiful lady!
she has such a mystic and beautiful voice!
Best version ever to this beautiful but haunting folk song. Incredible voice- smooth, flowing and soothing.😊
my mother played this to us when we were little. I or my sister have never forgotten it.
this is such a beautiful song of lovers who are not able to reach each other. I love this version of Amy Nutfall, she has a wonderful voice.
I don’t quite think it’s a song for lovers, perhaps more ex lovers.

Thank-you very much to your noble and melancholy singing song .
Your sorrow permeates my soul , so I can not even cry . 🍎
A beautiful song sung beautifully by a beautiful woman.
Three of my guilty pleasures combined into one! Folk music, a nice soprano voice and Emmerdale! I´m in heaven now!:D
This is absolutely the best version of it ever. She is stunning.

+Engineer Casim "heard it from the early settlers" may i ask what settlers you are referring to?
english settlers it is a old english ballad or maybe scottish we can not be sure but it is very old maybe a thousand years
+loki1392 American.
What a load of ass
what I know is that the lyrics are supposed to be "yesterday holds memories in time", but as it happens with folk songs, the lyrics changed as time passed
God i love this version of the song very much!!
Amy Nuttall is «belissima».
She is a great singer.
Amy Nuttall for the FUTURE !
My favorite version
