Chapter 478 Scarborough Fair
The prelude is the piano and the guitar sound that is looming, ethereal and distant, as if it is crossing time and space from the distant past to the future.
Listen to the accompaniment and read the lyrics again.
Just as the song rang, everyone was stunned.
“are-going-to-scar-fried meat-gh-fair
(Are you going to Scarpolo Market)”
What a dreamy and so sad singing. Who said that only the voices of fairies and fairies can be described as extraordinary and spotless, but men can do it.
“parsley,sage,romy,and-thyme
(There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme there)”
Countryside, nature, and original pictures emerge.
“remember-me-to-one-who-lives-there
(Say hello to a girl there on my behalf)”

"Cum-once-ine
(She used to be my lover)”
Ah? The appearance of the word "Once" brings infinite imagination to the audience's hearts. They want to know what happened.
“tell-her-to-make-me-a-camb day c-shirt
(Tell her to make a linen dress for me)”
What kind of meme is this? Everyone is confused, but they are still infected by the singing and lyrics and enter a state of selflessness. Of course, people who don’t understand music, or a cow, Chopin or Beethoven, can’t play the piano.
“parsley,sage,romy,and-thyme
(There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme there)”
These four plants appeared again, and the nostalgic atmosphere in the singing was even more serious.

“s-nor-needlework
(No sewing or needlework)”
This sentence follows the above sentence. The story is simple but close to life. But everyone starts to wonder why they need to make linen clothes and clothes?
Those who are interested find that this invitation seems to be impossible, what is the situation?
Isn’t it a lover? Why are you making things difficult for your lover?
"then-cum\'ll-be-a-t breasts e-love-of-fanne
(She will be my true lover)”
This story deeply attracted everyone.
“tell-her-to-find-me-an-acre-of-land
(Tell her to find a piece of land for me)”
The singer is still asking, making requests, and telling in the distance.
“parsley,sage,romy,and-thyme
(There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme there)”
“between-the-salt-water-and-the-color a-strand
(Just between the beach and the sea)”
The audience suddenly began to feel uncomfortable, the sound of singing, instrumental sounds, and lyrics merged, unconsciously leading out their inner loneliness and sadness.
"then-cum\'ll-be-a-t breasts e-love-of-fanne
(She will be my real lover)
tell-her-to-reap-it-in-a-private ckle-of-leather
(Tell her to harvest with a leather sickle)
parsley,sage,ro color,and-thyme
(There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme there)
and-gather-it-all-in-a-bunch-of-heather
(Bundled with heather grass)
Then-cum\'ll-be-a-t breasts e-love-of-fanne
(She will be my real lover)
…”
After listening to this song, many people were stunned by the melody of this song, but it was sad and sad, and it was unbearable.
Although the story in the lyrics makes people confused, it makes people even more imaginative. There must be a very touching story behind this song.
What's the story?
European and American fans do whatever they say, and search for Scarborough Market directly.
Many people don’t know this place, and this search really found some scattered information about Scarborough Town.
Although very few, there is indeed a place.
The Englishman was curious that there was such a place in their country.
What exactly is this place worth mentioning by Su Tong and named the song after this place.
Soon, some British fans dug out a major secret.
Scarborough Town was once famous, but it was extremely prosperous and noisy at that time, but it gradually disappeared after the Middle Ages.
Moreover, there are some legends circulating there.
There are several versions of the story of the Knight and the Girl.
One was saying that a knight died because of war, and her beloved girl could only see him coming back in her dream and send her a message.
The stories in these versions are related to this song, either to the four plants of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, or to those requirements.
“my-god.”
"Isn't this a folk song from Great Britain, praise God, our folk song is written by a singer from the East."
"It's so amazing. I've always heard that Princess has created one miracle after another in the East. Now he has come to our Great Britain and brings a miracle to our country, our nation, and the whole world."
"The legend is so beautiful that I can't describe my mood at this moment."
"It's so sad, so beautiful, I've listened to it for one night."
“…”
The fans of England were ecstatic and praised the song.
At the same time, many stories about Scarborough Town leaked online.
A song, only with stories can it be flesh and blood, and it will become fuller and spread more widely.
Now "Scarborough" has become completely popular, and it is more popular than "Sex-E-Teat-Again" and "Yesterday-Once-Touching".
Because this is a song with a story, which can be traced back to the Middle Ages.
If it weren't for Su Tong's song, even British people in the world would know that their country had such a prosperous town.
"Ah? The three impossible tasks that the lyrics ask the beloved girl to do are to suggest that the girl is dead and praying devoutly to return her back?"
"No, it's about the small village of Scarborough, which is very beautiful and peaceful. A young man and a girl fell in love with each other. They said that they were long and long, and the sweet love was like flowers blooming. However, a war broke out. The young man said goodbye to his beloved girl and went to the battlefield. From then on, he left, life and death were in vain. When he parted, he promised her that he would definitely come back. She also promised him with tears in her tears and would definitely wait for him. However, the ruthless artillery fire engulfed the young man. He could no longer return to the Scarborough where he had longed for day and night, and could no longer enjoy the sweetness of life with his beloved girl. He was unwilling to let him down, so his body left, but his soul refused to disappear, and he sang softly to the passersby over and over again."
"After the first sentence of each lyric, a seemingly unrelated lyric was inserted: 'There are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme'. It is the recurring appearance of this lyric that makes the song's nostalgic atmosphere rich in color, making people full of infinite yearning for the natural and simple beautiful scenery of Scarborough Town."
"I really want to go to that town to see how Princess found that town? He found those stories. He was so amazing."
"This song makes me want to cry, but I can't cry."
