SCARBOROOUGH FAIR-21 VERSIONS

My favourite version, is the version of the GOTHARD SISTERS.

I like this version because I think is very relixing and harmonic.

 They were born in  Edmonds, Washington, U.S.A (2006).

Their names are :

Greta Gothard 

Willow Gothard 

Solana Gothard 

SCARBOROUGH FAIR

In medieval England, this song became one of the most populars, because the bards sang when they went between town and town. The composer of this song is unknown.

Nowadays there are a lot of covers of this song, the most popular one, I think is the version of Simon&Grafunkel.

SONG LYRICS

We try hard and fight what we want,

beacause we don´t like to lose.

If you come you can´t return,

to the world you used to know, you used to know, you used to know...

Are you going to the new world?
With your friends and family too
If you go , you can´t returne
to the world you used to know , you used to know, you used to know...

This video prouve that the girls can be the same or better than boys.
