Origin of the song
Scarborough Fair was originally a regular fair where Vikings landed and exchanged goods, and it lasted for a month and a half in the fall of each year for hundreds of years, and there is still such a town in England today. It arose in Scotland, and was probably influenced by the Vikings and the Celts, the other great barbarians.
The Vikings were a fearless people, while the Celts, with their many mysterious and difficult legends, have left us with more mystery and legend among their impressions, but it was these barbarians who created the song that is full of sensitive poetry and subtle sultriness.
The image that comes to mind from time to time is the warm smell of autumn hay interspersed with the fragrance of wildflowers, wrapped up in the sullen autumn winds, sweeping across the earth and the fields, across the rivers that are about to freeze and the sea that sighs for ever, as a lonely man, alone, sings a sad song and disappears between heaven and earth.
