Danny Boy (song)

發一首老歌，愛爾蘭民歌。以前聽過，沒注意歌詞。這次無意看到歌詞。覺得非常優美。

Danny Boy是一首愛爾蘭民謠，原是一個世紀前，一位愛爾蘭父親寫給即將從軍的兒子，告訴他說，當你下次回來的時候，我大概已經躺在墳裏，就像整個夏天的過去，花朵的凋零，就像你現在要走，也不能挽留。整首歌的旋律彷佛夏日將盡的原野上遙遠傳來的風笛,如怨如慕, 輕輕撩起你一生最珍惜的記憶。。。

這首愛爾蘭民謠的歌詞, 尤其帶有一種特殊的感人心魄.

歌詞: Danny Boy - An Old Irish Ballad (Frederick Edward Weatherly, 1848- 1929 )
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 dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go
and I must bide

噢！丹尼少年，
笛聲正在召喚
從山穀間到山的另一邊
夏天已走遠，
花兒都已枯萎你得離去，
而我得等待

But come you 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

但你回來了，
當夏天回到草原上的時候或是當山穀沉靜下來，
因雪而白了頭的時候我一定會去那兒，
不論是陽光普照或陰影覆蓋噢！
丹尼少年 ，
我是多麽的愛你

And if you come,
when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead
I well may beYou'll come and find the place
where I am lyingAnd kneel and say an "Ave" there for me



如果你在百花凋謝的時候前來而我已經死去，
死的很安詳你會前來，
找到我長眠之地
跪下來和我說"再見"

And I shall hear,
tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so...

我會傾聽，
雖然你輕柔的踩在我上麵
我的夢將會更溫暖而甜蜜
如果你真的對我說你愛我
我會在平靜中安息，
直到你來我身邊
噢！丹尼少年，我是多麽的愛你

It is a beautiful song indeed though a little sentimental. I do not think it is a good idea to listen to it in a rainy cold day. :-)

thanks for sharing. Look forward to hearing more.
