The song is about impossible love. It tells the tale of a young man (or woman, depending the version), who tells the listener to ask his former lover to perform for him a series of impossible tasks. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme have a symbolic meaning. Both man and woman in this ballad invoke said powers: mildness to soothe the bitterness, spiritual strength to endure being apart from each other, faithfulness and lastly encouragement, to fulfill the impossible tasks given.
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 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 Tell her to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Between the salt water and the sea strands Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And gather it all in a bunch of heather 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
This and the Simon and Garfunkel ver. are like my favorite versions and trust me there are so many other versions out there. Her voice just fits the song so well.
@Rachael Blackwell Triela was always the ass-kicker of the five. Henrietta had a much more complex depth to her and this certain melancholy that made the first season ace. The to an extend carefree character of Triela did just not fit as the main protagonist. But good for you if you could enjoy season 2. Then you had a longer positive experience. For me, the show ended with season 1.
Not unfulfilled love. Impossible to attain love. The singer's suitor is being asked to perform impossible tasks to prove their love. The cyborgs are also asked to perform impossible tasks, but they are greater than human and just might attain the love of their handlers.
Hearing this again makes me want to buy the Gunslinger Girl series, been sitting in my wish list for about a year now. But every time I think about it, this song pops into my head. So beautiful
There are dozens (if not hundreds) of versions of this song floating around. I actually enjoy this one more then the Simon and Garfunkel version. The music has a lilt to it that the duo is missing and the instrumentation is very nice. We know music is alway a matter of personal preference so my feelings won't be the same as others. Still, this one, with the Gunslinger Girl episode story that went with it, made it better than most.
The other thing about this version I love is how relatively simple it is. For instance, Kokia's version of the song (she did some of the other songs for Gunslinger Girl) has some lovely vocal work, but feels overproduced, which really doesn't work to bring out the core nature of the song as a folk piece. Frankly, I feel even the S&G version is a bit overproduced in ways.
Yea, I reckon you have the guts to sing this song Don't be afraid to let out whatever you're keeping inside and show the world that you're moar gutsy than what most people are
"Don't judge a book by it's cover." Wow, does that apply to this anime? I put off watching this for a while because I saw little girls and giant guns and thought there wasn't much to it. Boy was I wrong. Instant-classic 5/5 for me.
I did the same. I started watching the first season back in 2018 and found it pretty boring (I had just finished watching gunsmith cats and wanted more of that kind of mindless fun action) so I dropped it. Later in 2022 I had a school assignment and thought I'd put GSG in the background while I worked just to have something there but I ended up getting hooked not long after. Great anime. Makes me feel bad for the children though...
Man, I just searched for this song, and didn't remember where did I heard it the first time, I had totally forgotten this anime Now that I found it I feel so nostalgic

Lol yeah, the premise and name kinda seem like it'd be a wild, if not goofy action-fest. But it's way more vibey tragedy action. Agree though, it's an absolute classic.
Oh wow, This voice be like elves in The Lord of Ring extremely who have talented! (I try hard to learn about english so maybe gammatically wrong! Hope everyone sympathized!)
@Rachael Blackwell I almost completely forgot about the ending. Then you come through like a freight train and remind me. Well... might as well go rewatch the anime. In all seriousness, it's anime like Gunslinger Girl that helped me get into writing fanfiction. That way one can get some kind of closure by reading a different ending.
I love the Japanese inflection and the angelic tone of the singers voice, this makes me want to dance in field of sunflowers and paint the color of love with my finger, whats the singers name?
Can't hurt to start? But if you don't want to, you don't have to, and I'm not gonna force you either Well, twas nice chattin' take care now, bye bye then =D
I like how people who knows this song tends to link with people with tragic endings for some reason...
It is my favorite of the "Scarborough Fair" songs sung by various people.

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
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
Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strands
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
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

This song about unfulfilled love is so very matching for the extremely sad basic narrative of Gunslinger Girl. Well, first season. Lovin' it.
Um no, not unfullfilled, rather, an impossible to attain love....

The meaning of Scarborough fair - Its about Unfulfilled love. Scarborough fair - market place located in Yorkshire England

This music is soothing to hear in 2020....given the year we’ve had so far.

I TOTALLY agree with you! I soo WANT this series now! :D
I loved the series, bought both seasons
@@Anileigh023 can't go wrong, it's an amazing series
@@Verikae Ditto I bought both seasons and want them to make a third

Best episode of the series, in my opinion. This still gives me deep chills, and last I saw it was in October.
What episode was it in again? I forgot.

サイモン＆ガーファンクルも素晴らしいけど、どっちかと言えば僕もこっちに惹かれました。
This song and the first season of GG belong together. Sad, so deep.
英語の発音が上手いとは言えんが、静かさと妖しさ、哀しさを持つような独特の世界観がある歌い方に惹かれた。スカボローフェアの歌い手としてはサイモン&ガーファンクルよりも好きです。
クラリスの話でこの曲がエンディングで流れた時、あまりにもマッチしてたので感動した。
I guess each decade had it's own tragic series with scarborough fair. Wonder what's 202X gonna bring us.
Well, 202X is off to a good start for tragic.

スカボローフェアを持ってくるセンスに敬意を送る
saber red それな 週末なにしてますか のopだったしネ
この民謡もともと知ってたんだが、ガンスリで聞いた時、2時間考えに考え
結局その日は思考放棄しふて寝して、その後、一週間悶々と過ごしたよ。
私の結論としてはソレっぽい雰囲気があるんでチョイスしたってだけだろうって所で落ち着いた。
でもまぁ、私はスカボローフェアを広めてくれたってだけでも嬉しかったね。
saber red 僕もこの曲小学生の頃知って好きになった 誰が歌ったか忘れたが...(多分外国人)
銃を持つことなく穏やかな日々を過ごし、家庭菜園を続けることがラバロ大尉の供養になってると思う。
大尉と交わした約束はクラエスを最後まで守り抜いたしね。
供養とは、生きている人間が死者に対して供物などと共に心を捧げる事。ようは敬意であり敬愛。
供養にはなってないよ。クラエスにはラバロの記憶は無い（実際は封印の為、微妙）。
そしてクラエスは最後の戦いでラバロの名前を告げられても結局思い出す事は出来なかった。
遠い昔、約束をしたかもしれない誰かと、ラバロ大尉が最後まで”結びつかない所に”クラエスの物語のミソがある。
ジャンの罪滅ぼしで用意された箱庭が供養になるだなんて私は認めたくない（ボカしてるけど所詮暗殺だろ？）。
公社の人間が供養をするのであればクラエスでなければならない。だが、クラエスはね、心を捧げようがないんだ。
記憶の封印を解かない限り、クラエスの穏やかなる日常がラバロの供養にはなる事はない。
・・・(*^^)v・・・だから、この物語は面白い。
Call me crazy, but I don’t think season 3 or 4 is coming anytime soon. Too bad, it gets wild-I recommend the manga.
