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 roses falling, It´s you, it´s 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, It´s I´ll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If 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, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
