A Dhónaill bhuí (Londonderry Air, Oh Danny Boy, Public Domain)
[Verse 1] A Dhónaill bhuí, tá ceol na bpíob á nglaoch ort Ó ghleann go gleann, is síos an tsléibhe bháin. Tá rós an tsamhraidh caite, críon, is feoite, Is tusa a rithfidh, 's caithfidh mise d'fhanacht. [Verse 2] 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. [Verse 3] Ach fill ar ais nuair a thiocfaidh grian an tsamhraidh, Nó nuair a bheidh an t-uile ghleann faoi shneachta bhán. Ó bheidh mé anseo i gconaí, thíos sa scáth mór, A Dhónaill bhuí, mo ghrá, mo mhuirnín bán. [Verse 4] But boy, come 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! [Chorus] Tá aoibhneas mór ar gháire caoin na gcnoc seo, Is gaoth na n-aois ag cogar tríd an ngleann. Ag canadh scéil faoi dhaoine imithe uainn uile, Faoi choiscéim chiúin nach bhfillfidh chugainn anall. [Chorus] The green hills smile beneath the morning glory, The ancient winds still whisper through the glen. They sing a song, a deep and changing story, Of missing steps that won't return again. [Chorus] Is má thagann tú, nuair atá an t-aer ag fuarú, Is mise marbh, sínte faoin bhfód ghlas, Ginfidh tú liom, san áit ina bhfuil mé i mo luí, Is déarfaidh tú d'urnas liom go binn, bog, deas. [Chorus] And if you come, and all the flowers are dying, And 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. [Outro] [Sustained string chord fades out] [End]
