Sharm ~ Scarborough Fair - Sarah Brightman (Cover) 

Oh my goodness it let me finally revert back to the original video, I'm so happy 😭🙏💜

It is clearly an English folk-song as Scarborough is in north Yorkshire which i can assure you seeing im from Harrogate The actual fair at Scarborough was an annual trading fair which lasted for 45 days starting on August 15. It was granted a charter in 1253, and ran until 1788 when competition from other fairs made it untenable. Traditionally, the herbs in the song have the following associations: parsley - festivity sage - wisdom & immortality rosemary - remembrance thyme - courage & strength

I’m 70 years old and absolutely love to play music and re-live and remember the great music , not only Rock , but Ballads , Country , and Classic.

Ever since I was old enough to understand this song, It has always made me think of the Lord of the Rings

Scarborough Fair is my favorite song. A lot of singers sing it, but my favorite is the Sharm version. Thank you, Sharm, for the wonderful song.

To the person reading this message, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness !

The name can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when the northern English city of Scarborough was an important meeting place for merchants from all over England. A major 45-day trade show, from 1,253 to 1,788, called Scarborough Fair, The song was probably written in the 16th or 17th century. It is likely that it came from the Scottish folk ballad The Elfin Knight. After being transferred from city to city, it changed many times. Today it has 11 elements. The song is about a former couple of lovers who now set unsurpassed tasks between them to become a couple again. what counts is their effort. And that it can also be interpreted as an invitation to a man in his previous love, who asks him to take on seemingly impossible tasks, to try again for him or her. However, an unwanted pregnancy is possible. The refrain "Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" initially does not make sense to a listener today, but has symbolic significance and can be considered as a request or prevention of an abortion for then. It is therefore also possible that as a Cambrian theme the future child. The fact that they are ex-lovers also shows that the two are not married and makes the problem of the child between them clear. It also becomes clear that someone communicates in an encrypted way, after realizing the relationship and its consequences was considered a sin before the wedding, and it was a major scandal for that time. in-Teesdale, County Durham, England, sang "Scarborough Fair" to Ewan MacColl in 1947 Martin Carthy learned the song from MacColl and included it on his self-titled debut album in 1965. He taught the song to Paul Simon the same year and Simon & Garfunkel released his own version, which was extremely successful. Prior to that, Bob Dylan used Martin Carthy's version as the basis for his song "Girl from the North Country" from The Freewheelin's second album, Bob Dylan (1963).

I just came across your version. I absolutely love your voice and now follow you to see what else you are doing. At 62, I lived through the 60's and just about everything that came out was ahead of its time and withstood the test of time. Thank you for sharing and the great memories dusted off. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

This is the best version of them all. Absolute best. Sarah Brightman does not even come close.

Esta preciosa presentación me hace volver a un tiempo en que " a true lo ve of mine" estaba a mi lado, tiempo que pasó y no volverá...la veo una y otra vez y me siento un poquito más feliz

This is a refreshingly brilliant version of what after all is an ancient and well covered song, and you could be forgiven for thinking that the chosen video sequence from LOTR, was made perfectly to fit!

This is the best Scarborough Fair song that I have ever enjoyed being impressed by the cleaner voice than the original song. To me it sounds as a Goddes' song.

Sharm, let me just say that I am a wise old man (55) and your voice is the most under-rated ever.

Scarborough England is a real place. I have been to the castle there and was told the castle only fell because of scurvy among the soldiers during a war. I was also told that families would bring their goods to sell during Faire times. Their children might meet their future husband or wife there during these Faires.

No mystery as to why Sarah is the top ranked soprano in the world. Like liquid gold.

A thousand years of song still being popular and loved by people to hear of today. I think this was written Circa in the year 1200. I used to have it played every night.

This beautiful song reminds me of seeing beautiful seagulls flying in the sky by the seaside on the horizon.

This summer, my uncle made us listen to this song for all 3 hours of our road trip. I promised that I would never listen to it again. I only ever broke my word when I said I knew tactics and then this happens. Lovely ^-^

"We may speak different language" "but music is a language that all people understand"

Siempre Amé esta canción!!💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Copyright got you? I've watched this many times, now it is blurred. Sad.

I think even Simon and Garfunkel would be happy to hear your version. That was great. In fact,I’ve saved it to my playlist.

I listened to this song so many times, i can't stop.. The best version ever, and i checked almost all of them on youtube.. Pure perfection!

Absolutely beautiful song and Sharm has the most amazing voice ever, rhyme dates back to around 1670.

❤️-lichen Dank für Ihr wundervolles Lied.🕊️🌱🍀

素晴らしい！ なんだかいつかどこかで生きていた時代の とても深く愛し合った記憶が呼び起こされたような気がいたします。 幸せな気分と　いきる勇気をありがとうございます！

Wow wot a beautiful version of one of my all time favourite songs from the legendary duo Simon and Garfunkel ❤️🇬🇧

I listened this song since over 20 years ago that time I only speak a little bit English but I was like this so much until now still listen very often and remaned me when just mat my husband 22 years ago time is flys when listen this I feel like yesterday !

this all time classical song and its magical tune gives me strange sense of nostalgia....thank you very much....from kerala India.

This is the song I sent to one of my best friends to showcase the beauty of sharms voice. She loved it, of course. She’s someone is very judgey. Thinks some of my other favorites are talentless (she doesn’t appreciate Ashnikko at all, for instance) but this performance has a visceral beauty and class to it that even a grump like her couldn’t deny. Sharm has a tendency to collect “this is the best version of this song” songs for herself every time she puts out a new cover. It’s incredible that talent like hers exists. I’m in awe of her and the ease (projected at least) in which she’s able to make songs of pretty much any genre her own. It’s like Johnny cash and “hurt” but over and over again. Her originals are even better, but I’ve squeed like a school girl enough on those other videos as well. She’s a genius, and that’s not a word I just throw around.

This is the most beautiful performance that I have ever seen in my lifetime & she fits the part to a T' because she is absolutely beautiful. Thank You for sharing this video!

Thank you for keeping this video free to the world. RU-vid shut it down, although it never garnished a cent. It was made from the heart, my mother sang this to me as she put me to sleep when I was a young child. Your voice brings that back to me. I believe things happen for a reason. Thank you Sharm.

When I get to Heaven, I will hear this song and rejoice in it!!!

Meravigliosa canzone di tempi romantici e migliori quando esisteva l'onore bravissima!

wow love everything about this song brilliant production and amazing vocal's

Love the the bells and the all consuming voice of beauty and grace that created this dream of magic and wonder.❤

A beautiful ballad, my favorite. This beautifully you sing.

Magnifique version et vidéo. Liv Tyler est tellement magnifique, expressive sans mot... chanson sublimée par les images...

This brings me back to my childhood when I used to sing this at school in assembly back in 1990 when I was 10.

Assistindo em janeiro de 2021. Belíssima música, vóz encantadora e imagens fantásticas. Amei!! Obrigada!!

The best music never dies...

Is the Romantic and Love. Thank you

Cette belle chansons, ma vraiment posséder, d'un air enchanteur.

I have to say this is the best version I have ever heard. I play it to relax and unwind from the day :)

La canzone e il testo si possono comprendere solo in un' ambientazione magica e stregonesca.

That voice and song gives me goose bumps. LOVE IT

Une musique qui nous transporte vers d 'autres cieux , d 'autres rêves , une musique relaxante et une belle vidéo . J' adore . 😀

Most beautiful song

"The lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" appear to have something in common with a Scottish ballad titled "The Elfin Knight" (Child Ballad #2), collected by Francis James Child,[2] which has been traced as far back as 1670. In this ballad, an elf threatens to abduct a young woman to be his lover unless she can perform an impossible task ("For thou must shape a sark to me / Without any cut or heme, quoth he"); she responds with a list of tasks that he must first perform ("I have an aiker of good ley-land / Which lyeth low by yon sea-strand"). Dozens of versions existed by the end of the 18th century. A number of older versions refer to locations other than Scarborough Fair, including Wittingham Fair, Cape Ann, "twixt Berwik and Lyne", etc. Many versions do not mention a place-name and are often generically titled ("The Lovers' Tasks", "My Father Gave Me an Acre of Land", etc.). The references to the traditional English fair, "Scarborough Fair" and the refrain "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" date to 19th century versions and the refrain may have been borrowed from the ballad Riddles Wisely Expounded, (Child Ballad #1), which has a similar plot." Good Job, all involved.

Que música linda..tão delicada quanto a voz da cantora. Deslumbrante...

A beautiful love song I have never forget since heard。

I'm a Fem Gemini and I absoloutly live your video and video. It made my heart yearn to be in Britain. Im totally moved by this . Thank you so much for makning it and for your song . Thank you for sharing your vision. It truly stirs the soul

I love English folk songs. - they have a particular beauty and this singing is lovely too.

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 of sparrow on snow-crested ground Without no seams nor needle work Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain Then she'll be a true love of mine Sleeps unaware of the clarion call [Verse 3] 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 the salt water and the sea strands A soldier cleans and polishes a gun Then she'll be a true love of mine [Verse 4] Tell her to reap it with 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 [Verse 5] 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 Source : www.google.com/amp/s/genius.com/amp/Simon-and-garfunkel-scarborough-fair-canticle-lyrics

My first reaction was, "Damn, she looks just like Liv Tyler"... then I realized that it was Liv, from Lord of the Rings... LOL. Beautiful rendition.

At first I was super confused as to the connection of this. Then I started watching it and literally began to bawl. I couldn't finish it. But I LOVED what I was able to get through without crying >.< So beautiful... omg...
