Celtic Thunder - Danny Boy 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 roses falling
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
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
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so

    The correct name is celtic thunder not celtic men

    j.... D....

    They may have changed their name after they became famous.  Look at how young they were!

    j.... D....

    +cheryl potance no, it's still celtic thunder

    j.... D....

    @cheryl potance "May" have? No, they did not change their name and are still Celtic Thunder in 2019.

    Stage,public street these guys can perform anywhere.

  33. B.... A....

    Beethoven wrote a series of variations on this for violin & piano.

    B.... A....

    +Bruce Alan Wilson lol, I doubt that very much.

    B.... A....

    +flip inheck It is true. I've heard it. He and Haydn often used Irish & Scottish folktunes in their smaller works.

  34. M.... M....

    wauw, ik ben gek van hun muziek

  35. S.... M....

    +Barbara Foster vive la prof de musique

  43. E.... D....

    Beautiful!

  44. D.... ....

    Real men left Ireland long before this came to happen..... 

    D.... ....

    @Fitzcard real men don't say things like that.

    D.... ....

    @michael d A negative comment like that just proves that the person really has nothing worth saying.

    D.... ....

    +Fitzcard I guess real men have no talent

    D.... ....

    One more thing, +Fitzcard, these men are performers not warriors !

    D.... ....

    Doeray don’t mistake this plastic paddy drag act for real Irish men. And I know some of them were born here.  Danny boy is not an Irish song and you never hear
    it here outside of tourist pubs. It’s about as authentically Irish as corned beef and cabbage. Happy St Patrick’s Day.

  45. b.... ....

    Someone posted this on Facebook today, and I commented how similar these guys sound to Celtic Thunder...and then felt like a goober when they replied back that the reason they sound like them is because they are.

    b.... ....

    bluegrassbaby86
    is that what a "goober" feels like?

  46. C.... D....

    I got into a very ridiculous but vicious argument with my sister over what the song is about.  Her feeling is that the person who is singing to Danny Boy is his lover making a group of men singing it inappropriate.  I think that even if that was the case (although it's not), it would be just as appropriate for a lover to mourn the potential loss just as grievous and sad regardless of the sexual orientation of the people involved.  I believe that the song is being sung by the parents of a boy going off to war and who are concerned that he might be killed in action & thus leaving them forever.  What's you guys' take on it?

    C.... D....

    +jessica prescott The line about when Danny comes back the person might well be dead COULD be taken that s/he is significantly older, which would make "parent" an interpretation. But any way, it is someone who loves Danny and will miss him very much--parent, sweetheart, sibling, friend, what does it matter?

    C.... D....

    +flip inheck Alternative texts are "My Gentle Harp" and "Would That I Were the Tender Apple Blossom". There is also a setting of the 23rd Psalm to it.

    C.... D....

    The lyrics were written by a British lawyer & songwriter, Frederick Weatherly. His sister-in-law, Margaret, who was born in Ireland and immigrated to the United States sent him the music for Londonderry Air, an Irish song. He put them together. It became a hit in 1913 shortly before World War I (The Great War). It became a song sung by wifes, sisters, fathers, brothers and comrades who lost loved ones in war. The entire family sang it for my Uncle Dan who was killed in a car accident. It is a passionate song of love and loss. If you sister thinks anyone singing it is "inappropriate" she needs to learn history and get a life.

    What I want to know is where they sang this. There's an American flag waving in the background and the streets are blocked off like there's going to be a parade or marathon. I'm thinking Boston, or maybe New York City on St. Patrick's Day. Does anyone know?

    C.... D....

    St. Patrick's Day, NYC

  47. g.... p....
