Danny Boy — текст песни (Chantal Kreviazuk)

Words & music: unknown



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



Oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summers gone, and all the flowers are dying

tis you, tis you must go and I must bide



But come ye back when summers in the meadow

Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow

tis Ill 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

Youll 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 youll not fail to tell me that you love me

Ill simply sleep in peace until you come to me



Ill simply sleep in peace until you come to me
