....... LYRICS.......
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Yesterday holds memories in time -
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine -
Tell her to think back upon younger days
Yesterday holds memories in time -
And seek yonder crossroads where we parted ways
Then she'll be a true love of mine -
Tell her to follow the path to the shire
Yesterday holds memories in time
For there she'll find her heart's true desire
Then she'll be a true love of mine -
Tell her to come to the old willow tree
Yesterday holds memories in time -
Where spirits of lost love yet whisper to thee
Thou art still a true love of mine -
Tell her to gather three lilies of white
Yesterday holds memories in time -
To place at my headstone, beneath the moon's light
Then she'll be a true love of mine -
For ever she'll be the one true love of mine -
.......
Scarborough Fair lyrics and arrangement © 2012 Joseph Vargo.
Here's to all of us who are homesick for a place that no longer exists
Wow very well said only music could have that effect on us
It still exists.
Amen
Hiraeth…
Errm ....Scarborough is still here though, its on the North East coast of England.
Guys do you realize ? A man, a long time ago, wrote this. We don't even know him. And now see how many we are, here listening to this song. It's the magic of time.
Singing of the last time he saw the only thing he loved
TRUE !!! It is so wonderfull !!! Saudações de Magos e Bruxas do Brasil !!!
Correction: it’s the magic of History. It fights the power of Time. It preserves the past actions of men to the knowledge of the future generations. Just like we are doing by listen this peice of music. It’s the magic of Clio and Mnemosyne
Yes quite magical. Although it could have been a woman who wrote it ;)
Yes L we realize!! :)))
(By ''L'' I meant the character from death note that Tiny Witch has on her profile picture).
I have been to Scarborough Fair, it’s a real event that takes place once a year in Scarborough a Costal Town in the Northeast of England.
Scarborough (my hometown) isn't what it used to be
Was wondering about that.... thanks!👍
@@Bigfire253 what happen?
@@JackJones-oq3tt the town's slowly dying, the local council is catering more towards old people and the shops in town are getting charged far too much for rent and they can't afford it so the town centre isn't what it was
george hartley no disrespect but I recently went and the town has become a bit of a dump, unlike what family members said about it in years gone by.
Anyone else always just been drawn to this song?!
every day
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme were thought as cures or remedies for the plauge at one point... Its symbolic.
It's a love potion
The plague...
Essential life, non essential, who decides? Necromancy or holiness, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I find this very beautiful, my mind my world, our world
But why are those lyrics changed in this version of the song?
@@alanna8983 folk song doesn't have any certain lyrics because no one knows who is the writer. You should learn the history of folk song literature.
Haunting, deeply moving, its a masterpiece
The meaning of love and about the counties called shires in old England This being were i live ,
Yorkshire was all farms and back in those days hundreds of years ago the farmer road to Scarborough town on the coast were a pageant was held for young maidens who hoped to me a prospective husband .
The pageant was held just out side the town and was held a few days a year .This itself ran for a few hundred years ..Many a love was found but back in those days life expectancy was not much than 30 years of age .So it was very important to find love but with so little people around and farmers were all ways working meant finding a lady was impossible .
So they got the horse and cart,and on there way picking up other young farm hands and traveled with the farm owners . The farm owners would drop them off while they carried on into the town market to sell their goods . On there return the farm owner would pick up the farm hands and travel back to the farms .
But one farm hand fell in love with a special lady and hoped to return to the pageant where he had made a promises to return . But unfortunately he died but leaving a message to asking his friend to deliver to the lady .
Asking for here to bring 3white lilies to his grave ..to show and connect there wanting love ............So sad, .as...... did she take 3 white lilies and find his grave .
We have here in England many church yards dating back a thousand years . Most placed on hills built of stone and towering hundreds of feet and all with grave yards .
Were would he be ?
The music connects these two lives ....showing how short life can be ............ My son died after suffering juvenile Huntington's Chorea , He never got to embrace a women or feel love . My daughter also died 6moths after my son , but she was lucky in having love even though only for a short while,
So the farm hands love can be felt right through this song , just think how he felt on that wonderful day.................. Gene
Not sure but I believe I read this is a Saxon folk song , for someone to write this beautiful song hundreds of years ago and we are listening to it to day , amazing
" I'll Always Love you both Mom & Dad, R.I.P."
❤❤🙏🙏
Thank you my Friend Forever...
Thank you my Friends Forever...
I'm still broken Hearted having
my Precious Parents Last Breath,
in The Holy Sacred Everlasting Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
God Bless you all my Friends Forever
So haunting
So sad
So breathtakingly beautiful
For me, this is the best version of Scarborough Fair ever made.
Thank you, Nox Arcana.
Check out ‘ suka suka Scarborough fair’ also very nice.
@@HenryPerera I was about to recommend the exact same version! That's the song that introduced to to so many versions that I couldn't even tell you how many variants I've heard now
@@kildozer2012 yep, I feel my favourite is still suka suka version tho haha
Leaves' Eyes also has a beautiful rendition of this song on their 2009 album _Njord_ 💙
@@ember-brandt wow sounds so good! I like how it’s rockified
And the soul of the love lost listened and smiled down upon him...
I love this song. It reminds me so much of my wife. A loss of some yrs now. This song embodies here memory.
Sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. RIP to your wife.
One Day You Will Be Together Forever🕊️🕊️
Slante’ - I emphasize with you
wow...
Impossible love for this life must wait for the next. So sad
Once you have been roped into 4tran you are damned. Atleast in this playthrough.
True love many will never know, many will know to late, only to hold memories in time ❤️
I've never experienced this version.....It feels as if I've traveled through a magical event of epic proportion. A masterpiece!
totaly agree
i came here through a random youtube mix and i stayed because i like what i hear
I can honestly say, this is without doubt the most beautiful rendition I have ever heard
True love is eternal, not bound by time, borders or culture. It is there forever.
this is so beautiful, haunting and sad, it's almost like a ghost is singing their heart out, mourning their lost love.
This made me tear up. The comment, i mean.
Or the ghost is the lost love, wanting desperately to be with the lover they left behind.
Que lindo. Melhor comentário. 🌹
Some ghosts, and their loves still live. But they are just as lost.
That’s EXACTLY what this song portrays 😩
This arrangement of this song, makes anyone nearly need to find out more about the deeper meanings behind many of the more popular melodies we may think of as contemporary, but actually have far more ancient roots than we realized.Thanks
Forever is a long time
How? There are better arrangements. Far better. This is basically a rehash of the Simon and Garfunkel version, which is FAR from the best.
And yes, Scarborough Fair is still going. How do I know that? I lived there for over a decade. Its changed over the years, but its been more or less a thing for almost a thousand years.....
@@alganhar1 give us a link to a far better arrangement
@@alganhar1 "Ackhtually" ☝🤓
This song reminds me of a street performer that I happened upon in Canterbury. He was a juggler and a minstrel among other things. Simple, magic tricks. I said, sir, I congratulate you. Thank you for preserving this ancient tradition. I threw 5 pounds in coin into his cup, and went on my way to Saint Augustine’s Abbey. England. Everyone should visit England at least once in their lifetime.
These old English folk songs really grab you don't they.
Yes, until someone changes the lyrics and calls it progress. Why change the lyrics? herbs are way too natural? might be labelled as "hippies"? First time I've ever given a thumbs down, and I've been on UA-cam for years. It was created by a wordsmith and someone comes along and thinks they can do better, second line of the chorus just sounds awkward now.
Noone knows the true lyrics to the song, it has been covered so many times over the centuries the original lyrics may never become known.
@@couterei.1953 😂😂😂
@@Kayenne54 looking at the history of this song, the spices were added in the 19th century, this version is closer lyrically to older versions. I might add which number in the dozens.
seems that in the musical progression it might be well played on a hurdy gurdy with a deep drone string. Just a thought to add yo yours.
Listening to this song has made me pensive and wistful for a love I never had, in a place I've never known.....
Don't forget we are all eternal
I saw this video about a year or so ago and saved it, then deleted it a few days later. Here I find myself again listening to it, and saved it again.
There's something about this version of the song that keeps drawing me back to it like a moth to a flame.
Over the ages, I enjoy this version the best.
Listening to Nox Arcana and Scarborough Fair takes me back almost 15 years ago when I was 15 and discovered Wicca. It is very nostalgic 🖤
One of the most beautiful songs in my lifetime. Always brings tears for the one I lost. 🙏
The Majesty of the old magic.
My GF and I went back to the year 1439 and wandered around the fair grounds. We marveled at the purity of the air and enjoyed eating charred bread with goat cheese. Most of the people were much shorter than us but very polite.
We think they believed we were from the royalty and were of noble birth.
I just love Nox Arcana. Their music is so mystical and ethereal and mysterious.
For real and unreal.
\o/
Bit late but this is a ballad centuries old
@@pjp7316
But they've changed the music to more mystical... :)
@@caiakolmel8755 eh
@@pjp7316
What? 😅
This is haunting. Haunting and downright beautiful. The atmosphere this piece creates is magical. It helps you get lost into another world altogether when you close your eyes and listen. The various feelings are brought out beautifully. Another amazing piece by Nox.
swati iyer Well said!
+swati iyer want to live in this very moment with song
+swati iyer did you watch attack on titan
+Zorba Zen nope...why?
Its awesome Anime give it a try
on overcast days windy and cold I turn to this
it takes me to places i otherwise would never know...
days past
faces places laughter joy
and loss
Bravo! I love this. It's a ghost singing. Imagine tavern in medieval England. Ale, love , friends, peace and brotherhood!
Brace for the people saying it’s not English. Even though Scarborough is a town in northern England and it’s a historic English ballad, people will try and say it’s Celtic like they do all old English songs.
There are so many emotional layers to this song. Nostalgia, Loss, Heartbreak, Pain, even Joy and a distinct thread of Peace. Enjoyed every note of it.
@Bijesh Nagesh.......Well said, friend. Well said.
And even misery and sorrow
and soon ...famine...
This was the first Nox Arcana song I heard. It got me into their music.
Indeed!!!
it just now happened to me , i didnt think anyone else could do this song justice.
Cousin just showed me this. Same here. :~)
The original dates back to about 1670, but I do prefer the Simon & Garfunkel version to most
Simon & Garfunkel covered it too ..its olde English when England had Shires not Counties..
I'm a York shire man - a man from the shire of York.
Best version ever of this song. Beautiful, enchanting, mystical, ethereal, and so hauntingly sweet. This is the version of the song that will be played at my funeral.
Definitely a lot more relaxing than a lot of current stuff
This song has the vibes of the ghost of the original songwriter, singing in the ruins of some English castle, in memory of his lover
His music is wonderful, I have never heard anything like it. The gothic essence, wonderful and magical, makes my soul feel at peace and my heart beat with excitement, they are fantasies in their audibly wonderful splendor, and their darkness gives a comforting essence, as if the darkness were safe and rewarding.
darkness is beautiful when it demands nothing of you. we were all born out of the womb - a void of some sorts - comforting though!
Beautiful
If you have fallen really really in love 💘.This will get you hooked and have a magical relationship .I have been listening to this song for almost 60 years by various artists and versions.
Raj, not to be a cynic but love, most of all is an illusion, that's why it hurts so much,
@@oliviawutam fact is love is one of the main purpose in life for all our fellow human beings and the most important commandment by the one true GOD our lord Jesus Christ all facts!!
@@oliviawutam Love disappearing from planet Earth. Selfishness reigns.
@@oliviawutam your words ring true
I love the lyrics in this version.
Edit: I found her! We reconnected. She's now in a commited relationship with another woman, I'm in my own relationship with my wonderful wife. It was nice to find her and talk about the last 15 years. She forgives me for losing her number haha.
Wow... I just found this song, and I remembered visiting Scarborough, England when English Heritage had jousting there in 2006... I met an absolutely stunning girl from northern ireland there with the most gorgeous blue eyes you'd ever see. we were both in our mid teens (she 14, me 15), and hit off instantly. I was dressed up as a squire (I do love LARP, Live Action Role Play), she was dressed as a peasent! We were staying on the same camp site and spent pretty much the whole weekend together. She and I had my first kiss behind one of the craft beer tents... when she had to leave, she gave me her number and I foolishly lost it, not having my phone on me in all my LARP gear... I still have a picture my mum took of us in my old scrapbook with our names in a big heart...
I hope, wherever she is. she remembers me as fondly as I remember her.
We all have a love in our hearts friend, cheers from Brenden from Holton, Ks
However the oldest versions refer not to Scarborough but to Whittingham Fair.
my heart aches for you having lost that number. isnt there a name you can look up on facebook? Return to the event if ever it takes place again. maybe you will find eachother again.
+Rexal - 'That which is meant for you...cannot bypass you...'
@@moorwalker1223 The Elfin Knight is an older version of this song. and very beautiful too.
Beautiful Song, a haunting look at the past, the voices of those long dead people still echo today and affect us.
Well some of us anyway. Well said.
the sad pining for a lost love,
echoing through the mist of time.
That's so freaking beautifull. I have feeling of nostalgy and mystery.
This song brings sounds of old, I guess it is to be expected since it is well over 600 hundred years old.
And the sacred. The eternal. This feelings conveyed by this song have been experienced by most people who have ever been alive. It's transcendent.
"Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme"
Yesterday holds memories in time
One of the newest versions. Yesterday version, is much older with the song but their are others older like Yesterday two of which have roses in them.
Folk song there is no original version, author, language or anything else known and various versions discovered when finally written down after unknown number of centuries. The tune style popular in 1100's. But might be from Great Plague centuries later.

Spectacular!
When I am out in the woods up north doing my spells, this is the playlist I use. I love the music, thank you for all these. Blessed Be!! 🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓
What other songs are on your playlist?
This song always reminds me of growing up during the Renaissance.
These songs bring out the vampire in me where they're soothing on overcast darker days. Even better darker nights.
Which it'd be nice to hear in a cabin in the woods with cool weather, friends and a fireplace crackling.
Absolutely beautiful and like someone else commented haunting. My favorite version of the song
Beautiful song, i have liked this song since i was little.
Awesome music. Thank you for being You Nox Arcana. Greetings from Canada!
Holy shit, best I've ever heard and with perfect visuals to match the memory. Memories so old we all remember this and the feelings it evokes. Just wow. Outstanding.
Sometimes it just happens like that
Dear lord, this is the most beautiful song I heard in years. The hairs on my arms are standing up
This song doesn't deserve 500 thousand views.. it deserves 500 million.
Its 3 Milion More Now :-)
do not agree. should be 7 billion
Not for anybody ears..
It's 4M now after 4 years

True love 💗 will never die until it finds eternal rest when all is lost and little is remembered and echos memories of souls enchanted in winters woods where the roots run deep and tangled...
Dragon fly Quyn what a beautiful soul you are!
Love love love!😍
It's easy to imagine a traveling musician playing this in a castle's great hall, with the king on his throne and knights and nobles scattered about the room
Beautiful, haunting song. I as 15 first I heard this song. Was living in Hollywood Ca.. Having lived in rural Al. and a country boy, it was almost magical living in the land of film. And the music I remember from those days haunt me still. We didn't stay there long before coming back to parts in the S.E. I'm glad we did come home, but the experience of California is one I'll always remember.
beautiful song. makes me think of walking through the woods on a snowy night back towards the realm of the past
Very well put!
Sierra Gibson That was beautiful. I just got chills
Well said Sierra
I agree just close your eyes and clear your mind this music will take you into another world
@@gregorykampe8215 Exactly what it is supposed to do...
I got into Nox Arcana about 5 or 6 years ago and the atmosphere of the music helps me relax so much. Turn off all the lights, turn on my black light, start playing their albums, close my eyes and let my imagination wander. Some of their tracks are also superb D&D atmosphere music :)
De unde iese mai aceasta muzica atat de magica? Ti se pare ca visezi. Ca plutesti cand o asculti. Cine compune ac muzica atat de minunata❓🔥💌🌹
In winter when the veil between the worlds is thin, this is the time for ancient songs, dances and candlelight. The time we can reach out and communicate with the past.
By far most beautiful version I ever heard of scarborough fair.
This is the best version ever. Hauntingly beautiful...
Excellent version, very moving and nostalgic, I used to listen à lot to that of Simon and garfunkel when i was 17...
As this song's origin goes back many hundreds of years and has been amended/added to over time, its almost impossible to credit the original composer(s) However, this version with its mythical graphics by Nox Arcana is just simply wonderful.
Thanks 🙏
I always knew this was a sad song about heartbreak and loss. I never knew how sad!
So sad, but I love it, can't stop listening to it.
Beyond the lamentations of time and space, just beautiful.
Every now and again I’ll find I’m where I’m supposed to be. I’m here now....
Hi Anthony..🌹🦅🕊️🦅🙏💚💚💚🍀🧚🧚🧚🐺🐾🐾💮🌸🌼
Anthony Scott you are a brilliant man of few words. ❤️❤️❤️
Just beautiful
Damn, i just sang the lyrics along as i was listening and read the first of the last three lines made me realize the story as i was singing it and i got shivers all over and it affected my voice as i sang. Love this version.
I love this song.heart touching.
Love, thank you for the great memories in my life....🥰
I like this version of Scaborough Fair. Nox Arcana has attracted my music appreciation.
I love these lyrics, they are different then the Simon & Garfunkel lyrics but very beautiful
I find these lyrics better than Simon and Garfunkle
@@jimnewie l don't.
@@jimnewie I don't find them better OR worse, just different.
Simon and Garfunkel copied this old song, they did not create it.
@@RobPen-ii1co agreed! Only the interwoven ‘Canticle’ lyrics are original S and G’s
I heard this yesterday, just had this old classic again. 🕊
Legendary Song
"Winters majesty!" How great!
I just love how haunting this version is.
Brilliant awesome haunting
Now I have tears. ❤😢
Unusual adaptation of the folk song with original lyrics.
This is the best version of Scarborough Fair ever made. I love nox arcana :)
May, 2022; almost 4 & 1/2 million views of their rendition of this classic & beautiful song; from many years ago, by Nox Arcana. What a great one too.
Cheers Rockers !!!
Never Give Up On You.
Love from Indonesia.... 👌💙
This is the best rendition of the song Ive heard
Leaves' Eyes also has a beautiful rendition of this song on their 2009 album _Njord_ 💙
this is hypnotizing...
Thomas Jefferson LOL is that a warning or a suggestion...?
One of the best versions ever!!! It sounds beautiful and dark, just like medieval music is supposed to be.
@Boston Sports Rule Yes, in our church. And I just suppose, that is the sound of medieval music. Maybe I am wrong.
@@annaA4453 Good ear! Gregorian chant was/is medieval Roman Catholic Church music...so it's no coincidence that this tune has the same sound. For a different listening experience try some Byzantine chant, the medieval church music of Eastern Orthodox Christianity - still widely used in many Orthodox parishes today.
I have a new favourite version of this song, and a new band to dive into. Double win. In all seriousness, this version is amazing.
I feel you on this.
This band is amazing
i have tears listening to this song
Beautiful song
Oh my God, this is beautiful...
I really love this!!
💙
This is my song great song I love it I love you always bless you❤❤❤❤❤❤
No use arguing who is the author of a piece of music..
Music is eternal and will come in many forms, just like life itself.
This arrangement of Scarborough Fair is but one of many in the century's it's been around.
And as with all music, some arrangements sound better than others for each person, because we all connect to music differently.
Real emotion of magical HMMS and sounds of appropriate instrumentals ,its a heaven in sound
Also remembering my father's eye opening after three days of stroke taken 3 cups of coffee at a hospital ccu form my hands with is kisses near to His 83rd birthday, praying for his soul
This version is quite good. A timeless magical song.
