Danny Boy
Ah Danny boy, the pipes,The pipes are callingFrom glen to glen,And down the mountain sideThe summer's gone,And all the flowers are falling'Tis you, 'tis youMust go and I must bideBut come ye backWhen summer's in the meadowOr when the valley's hushedAnd white with snowAnd I'll be hereIn sunshine or in shadowOh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,I love you soBut if you come,And all the flowers are fallingAnd I am dead,As dead I may well beYou'll come and findLetras de cancionesThe place where I am lyingAnd kneel and sayAn "Ave" there for meAnd I will hear,Though soft your tread above meAnd o'er my graveWill warmer sweeter beAnd you will bendAnd tell me that you love meAnd I will sleepIn peace until you come to meBut if I liveAnd should you die for IrelandLet not your dying thoughtsBe just of meBut say a prayer to GodFor our dearest IslandI know He'll hearAnd help to set her freeAnd I will take your pikeAnd place my dearestAnd strike a blow,Though weak the blow may beTwill help the causeTo which your heart was nearestOh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boyI love you so.
