"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English folk song. Its lyrics trace their origins to an old Scottish ballad titled "The Elfin Knight."
The song gained worldwide fame through the cover version by the American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, who were active in the 1960s.
"Scarborough" refers to the seaside resort town of Scarborough in Yorkshire, northeastern England, while "Fair" refers to the market held there periodically.
【lyrics】
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine
