【经典民谣】The Chieftains - Danny Boy
Danny Boy（丹尼男孩）是一首古老的爱尔兰民谣，歌曲描写一位老父亲对自己将要上战场的儿子的嘱托。酋长乐队的版本，虽是轻声细诉，但寂寥与落寞跃然于声音之中，令人回味无穷。
酋长乐队（The Chieftains），爱尔兰音乐的象征，国际乐坛倍受尊敬的大师级乐团。1962年成立于爱尔兰都柏林，由风笛大师派迪马隆尼（Paddy Moloney）领军。他们享誉世界的著名专辑有《长长的黑面纱》(The Long Black Veil)、《漫长的回家旅程》(The Journey Home)、《都柏林的钟声》(The Bells of Dublin)、《漫漫乡间路》(Down The Old Plant Road)、《石之泪》(Tears of Stone)等。
《Danny Boy》
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.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
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 if you come, when 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.
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'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
