"Danny Boy" was written by the English lawyer and lyricist Frederick Weatherly in 1910. Although the lyrics were originally written for a different tune, Weatherly's sister modified them, in 1913, to fit "Londonderry Air" (Irish diaspora anthem : irish emigrants and their descendants in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Argentina, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil and states of the Caribbean and continental Europe.

LYRICS
Lyrics

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 dying,
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'll love you so.

But if you fall as all the flowers are dying
And I am dead as dead you well may be;
You’ll come and fine the place where I am laying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me. You come to me.

And I shall hear, tho’ 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.

Traduction en Français

Oh Petit Danny, la cornemuse, les cornemuses appellent
De vallée en vallée, et sur le versant de la montagne ;
L'été est parti, et toutes les fleurs sont en train de mourir,
C'est toi, c'est toi qui dois partir et je dois attendre mon heure.
Mais reviens, quand l'été sera dans la prairie
Ou quand la vallée sera silencieuse et blanche de neige,
C'est moi qui serai là sous le soleil, ou dans l'ombre ;
Oh Petit Danny, oh Petit Danny, je t'aime tant.

Mais quand tu viendras et que les fleurs seront mourantes
Si je suis mort, et je serai probablement mort ;
Tu viendras et trouveras l'endroit où je repose
Et tu te mettras à genoux et réciteras un 'Ave Maria' pour moi.

Et j'entendrai tes doux pas sur moi,
Et ma tombe sera un peu plus chaude, plus douce,
Parce que tu te pencheras pour me dire que tu m'aimes ;
Et je dormirai en paix en attendant que tu viennes à moi.

The choral arrangement will be good for singing a hymn my father wrote to fit Londonderry Air - thank you.
