Danny Boy — текст песни (Sinead O`Connor)

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 falling
`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 there
in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,
I love you so

And when you come,
and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead,
as dead I may well be

Ye`ll come and find
a place where I am lying
And kneel and say
an "Ave" there for me

And I shall hear,
though soft your tread above me
And all my grave
shall warmer sweeter be

For you will bend
and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest
in peace until you come to me

But if I live
and should you die for Ireland
Let not your dying thoughts
be just of me

But say a prayer to God
for our dearest Island
I know He`ll hear
and help to set her free

And I will take your pike
and place my dearest
And strike a blow,
though weak the blow may be

Twill help the cause
to which your heart was nearest
Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy
I love you so.
