Danny Boy的乐曲是基于爱尔兰流传的民歌,大概160年前被写下来,有了正式的歌谱。100年前被人填上歌词。一个世纪以来,这首歌被很多歌手唱过。很忧伤,经常在葬礼上会听到。
挑了几个不同版本。Elvis的太慢,我还是喜欢Cassidy的和第三个清唱组的版本。

Eva Cassidy:

歌词:
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the flowers dying
'Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide
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 I am dead as dead I well may be
Go out and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me
And then my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me
