Lyrics : 1 - The Elfin Knight stands on yon hill, Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw Blawing his horn loud and shrill. And the wind has blawin my plaid awa 2 - ‘ If I had yon horn in my kist, And the bonnie laddie here that I luve best ! 3 - Ye maun make me a fine Holland sark, Without ony stitching or needle wark. 4 - And ye maun wash it in yonder well, Where the dew never wat, nor the rain ever fell. 5 - Now sin ye’ve askd some things o me, It’s right I ask as mony o thee. 6 - My father he askd me an acre of land, Between the saut sea and the strand. 7 - And ye maun plow’t wi your blawing horn, And ye maun saw’t wi pepper corn. 8 - When ye’ve dune, and finishd your wark, Ye’ll come to me, luve, and get your sark.

MrDjihel Translation from Scottish to English: 1. The Elfin Knight stands on yon' hill Blow, blow, blow winds, blow Blowing his horn loud and shrill And the wind is blowing my plaid away 2. ‘ If I had yon' horn in my chest Blow, blow, blow winds, blow And the bonnie laddie here that I love best And the wind is blowing my plaid away 3. Ye man make me a fine Holland shirt Blow, blow, blow winds, blow Without any stitching or needle work And the wind is blowing my plaid away 4. And ye man wash it in yonder well Blow, blow, blow winds, blow Where the dew ne'r wat, nor the rain e'r fell And the wind is blowing my plaid away 5. Now son ye’ve asked some things o' me Blow, blow, blow winds, blow It’s right I ask as money of thee And the wind is blowing my plaid away 6. My father he asked me an acre of land Blow, blow, blow winds, blow Between the salt sea and the strand And the wind is blowing my plaid away 7. And ye man plow’t with your blowing horn Blow, blow, blow winds, blow And ye man sew’t with pepper corn And the wind is blowing my plaid away 8. When ye’ve done, and finished your work Blow, blow, blow winds, blow Ye’ll come to me, love, and get your shirt And the wind is blowing my plaid away
This song always feels unsettling, but you nailed it here. That hard pan left with the first accompaniment that came in and the hard pan right of the second with a different rhythm made it sound like I was listening to two separate songs connected only by the singer. That push pull between the two kept me on full alert trying to reconcile the two together. That, and the wind in the background that, to me, sounded like it also served as an unstable bass note and felt like it was panned a little left (though I'm not sure) and created a sense of imbalance, really created a beautiful emotion of uneasiness that immediately made me listen again. I'm going to add this to my apple playlist if you're on there! Man...still can't get over it...I felt like I was in the middle of a bunch of musicians, standing in front of each one at the same time, watching them, understanding them, feeling their intense energy, yet left with an overarching sense of mystery. I just couldn't sink into a lackadaisical mindset where I just absorb the music. If this song were a sea, I'd be a balloon being pressed into the water. It would be nighttime, and dark with only the light of the stars, and all I could feel would be the pressure from above trying to get me to sink in, and the water fighting me from below. In a word, AMAZING.
Source and/or borrowing from some early version of Scarborough Fair from down south it before things like this were written down in a consistent manner so we might never know. I love it. I say and or as singers were certainly adding things they heard and liked to their group of songs they sung and added to. So the process could go back and forth over time.
Ye maun make me a fine Holland sark, Oh, blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw. Without any stitching or needle wark, And the wind has blawn my plaid awa And ye maun wash it in yonder well, Oh, blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw. Where the dew never wat, nor the rain e'er fell, And the wind has blawn my plaid awa. And sin ye've asked some things o' me, Oh, blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw. It is right I ask as mony of thee, And the wind has blawn my plaid awa.
i dont understand my own generation, from my own experiences, many teens such as myself don't appreciate this type of music, i myself find it...enlightening :D
same here... i get tired of the same old songs all the time and I find old music more entertaining than the new anaconda fuck skinny bitches song types lol
I agree with you. I listen to the Bangles, Sandie Shaw, Florence and the Machine, Miriam Stockley and Mary Black but I also enjoy folklore songs like this one
What I love about this song is that, while the girl does long for the Elfin Knight as a husband and he wants her to prove herself, she asserts her equality in the relationship by asking as or perhaps even more difficult tasks for him to complete. Plus, she has absolutely no doubt in her mind that she’ll finish what he’d asked of her.
@@YorkyOne I mean, the Japanese language has some Spanish mixed in (example - "pan" meaning bread in both languages) because Spaniards visited briefly hundreds of years ago in the 1500s. Scarborough Fair could very easily be based on a Celtic tune if someone who was Scottish travelled to England. History is so cool that way, so many places are unexpectedly interconnected.
Take within me Within what I see For I make what hate Can be All for time is in we seek Take the chance Within to leap We make possible With all we reap For all to be And all to keep In reason for all As all we peak.
This is a lovely song, but for those who cannot understand what is being said or what is going on, look up Kate Rusby's version. Steel Eye Spans, Angus Mohr also do a pretty good job. But Rusby is much clearer and easier to understand. Kadiaband with Pete Castle sing another version called the Outlandish Knight. Basically the same story but performed a bit differently. There are so many fine performers singing The Elfin Knight. Sometimes it's just the music that catches our attention. Other times it's the lyrics -- the story behind the music. And we all have different likes and dislikes. Check them out and enjoy. And just to be different, check out Burlap Lute. They sing 'Elven Harper', also called the 'Dukes Eldest Daughter' performed by Heather Alexander. Nothing to do with the song here, but they are lovely and different and thought I'd share.

This. The lyrics are from Child Ballad #2, version D, I think. It's an archaic form, probably EME (nothing like an expert, though), but it's English, alright. Lyrics seem to be: The Elfin knight stands on yon hill, Oh blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw. Oh, blawing his horn both loud and shrill, And the wind has blawn my plaid awa. If I had yon horn in my kist, Oh, blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw. And the bonnie lad here that I love best! And the wind had blawn my plaid awa.
I have brought here by searching about Scarborough Fair. For me, it is quite "same plot" of lyric and also some related part of the music too. Is this song is older than Scarborough Fair? However, it seem that this song is "older" and for me I believe that this song is the inspiration for the Scarborough Fair.
I believe Scarborough Fair is a Variation of this song. I found this song through the same route. The first known written records of both songs are from the 1600s I believe, but these types of songs are apparently typical of the Middle English period 1150-1450s so it’s likely that they’re much older than the 17th century. Always nice to keep things like this alive, keeps us in touch with those who came before us. Also Gotta hand it to the Scots, they do know how make a good song, coming from and Englishman.
And the meaning of the song has evolved through the centuries too. Scarborough fair carries the meaning that true love can beat anything while this one is giving impossible tasks to, in turn, get a lover or protect oneself from becoming said lover.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree, you can hear the English lyrics: The Elfin Knight stands on yon hill He blows his horn both loud and shrill He stands so proud and he stands so still The original was probably in Scottish, yes, but this version is in English.
its just english with super thick scots dialect. although some linguists call scots its own language that is closely related to English. but Awa is Away
+Carissa McOmber Because that is how your taste in music works. American pop fans would listen to this and wonder why we listen to this noise. Neither is better, just different.
+Carissa McOmber I am so sick of this.. Every video that is not "mainstream" (pop, rock, country, etc) -- someone says this. No one cares if you think this is better than pop music. Pop music is made for the masses -- it is fun to dance to, fun to listen to while working, exercising, etc. It is some producer who studies trends in music, finds someone with a good voice or good looks who can sing, then someone in a studio composes a song based on these trends. Yeah, it usually is not unique or requiring a lot of talent, but it sells for a reason. No one cares about the kids that say "I'm only 12, but I only listen to (insert band here) instead of that pop crap." No one cares that you are young and think you are "breaking the mold" of kids your age because you listen to so called talented or unique music. EVERY video you see some kid saying something along the lines of "Is it weird that I like Zeppelin, The Who, and Rolling Stones" instead of Nickleback, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, etc. Go try it out. Find a decent classic rock song or classical piece and there are guaranteed at least 4 people saying something about their age and superior taste. Yeah, I sound bitter. But honestly, stop attention whoring! Really that is all you're doing.
+Carissa McOmber, because Celtic music has soul. I am an American of Scots-Irish and Welsh descent. I like some pop music, but the Celtic music touches a part of my heart that most other genres cannot reach.

Brave heart!)

Yeh boi Scottish and Irish United under one celtic culture 🤙
I'm proud of your Scottish culture as well.
スカボローフェアの原曲だと調べて知りました。大好きな曲です。
The sound of the carnyx at the beginning, you can feel that sound reaching into your soul from the very earth of our land
Even after the centuries, this song will never lose its tune.
I'm proud of my scottish heritage!!!
Song from : "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads" Francis James Child (1825-1896).
I’ve never heard this song before but this woman’s voice suits the song perfectly.
One of the best songs to ever be created
I love this

***** Yes, I agree haha. I also quite enjoy film scores, video game music, and some modern celtic music, have you heard of Loreena Mckennitt?
it's almost like people have different tastes in what they like
I agree with you. I listen to the Bangles, Sandie Shaw, Florence and the Machine, Miriam Stockley and Mary Black but I also enjoy folklore songs like this one
That is haunting! 🙂👍

Amazing rendition. Fantastic.
Very beautiful! Thanks for posting.
This song's lyrics are very similar to Scarborough Faire. They must be cognate.
If i remember correctly, Scarborough Fair lyric is based on this song
Scarborough is fairly close to the Scottish border, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was overlap
This is the ancestor of Scarboro Fair. Good spotting!
The melody is also similar.
This is the "parent" ballad of Scarborough Faire.

Take within me
Within what I see
For I make what hate
Can be
All for time is in we seek
Take the chance
Within to leap
We make possible
With all we reap
For all to be
And all to keep
In reason for all
As all we peak.

Like "the Elfin Knight" Scarboro Fair is also traditional. It is related, but Scarboro Fair is not modern and was not composed recently.
.....nice folk song, similar to herr manelig in the german people.

Found this from the anime Gunslinger Girl II, episode 8

This was Enya before Enya.
Sounds like Gaelic.
Impossible tasks, same as the jilted lover giving a list of impossible tasks Scarborough fair
Scarborough fair stole the lyrics from this one, Scarborough fair is the englishified version of this song, but this one of far older
And the meaning of the song has evolved through the centuries too. Scarborough fair carries the meaning that true love can beat anything while this one is giving impossible tasks to, in turn, get a lover or protect oneself from becoming said lover.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree, you can hear the English lyrics: The Elfin Knight stands on yon hill
He blows his horn both loud and shrill

It's a Child Ballad and there are most likely several versions in Child.

There is a book based off this ballad, anyone know the name?
I believe it is the book "impossible" by Nancy Werlin ;)
I love Impossible! I'm actually rereading it :D
Nice. But what language is this?
It's English but in a Scottish dialect
@@mmarr986 . It is Scottish. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH

I think the word "Awa" is Scottish? Not sure about the rest of it though lol
its just english with super thick scots dialect. although some linguists call scots its own language that is closely related to English. but Awa is Away
It is saying "the wind has blawn my plaid awa" - the wind has blown my plaid (i am thinking either plaid like a tartan skirt or a pleat of hair) away'
Je ne trouve pas ou l'on peut se procurer l'album !
