danny boy þarký sözü

words & music: unknown

-- during her concert in hamilton, on, chantal performed this old irish tune in honor of st. patrick´s day. these are the traditional lyrics to the song, and are not accurate to chantal´s version. --

oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
from glen to glen, and down the mountain side
the summer´s gone, and all the flowers are dying
´tis you, ´tis you must go and i must bide

but come ye back when summer´s in the meadow
or when the valley´s hushed and white with snow
´tis i´ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
oh danny boy, oh danny boy, i love you so

and if you come, when all the flowers are dying
and i am dead, as dead i well may be
you´ll come and find the place where i am lying
and kneel and say an "ave" there for me

and i shall hear, tho´ soft you tread above me
and all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
if you´ll not fail to tell me that you love me
i´ll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

i´ll simply sleep in peace until you come to me
