Countdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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,
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If 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, though 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!
The lyrics of Danny Boy tell a poignant tale of love, loss, and separation. It seems to be a message from a lover who is bidding farewell to his beloved, Danny, who must leave him to answer the call of duty. The melody of the pipes echoes through the valleys and mountains as Danny leaves, and the singer remains behind contemplating his departure. The changing seasons further emphasize the passing of time and the inevitability of change. The singer promises to be waiting for Danny's return and hopes to have the chance to be reunited with him either when the summer brings new life to the meadow or when the winter snow blankets the valley. The singer's love for Danny is evident throughout the song, and even in death, he longs for Danny's return and his love.
The song grew in popularity in America during the 1910s and 1920s, particularly among Irish-American communities, as a symbol of Irish heritage and pride. However, its roots can be traced back to the Irish folk song "Londonderry Air," which was first published in Dublin in 1855. The original melody and lyrics vary significantly from the version we know today, which was a modified version created by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly in 1910. The song's simplicity and emotional message have made it a popular song for funerals and other solemn occasions, as well as a powerful symbol of Irish cultural identity.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
Oh Danny boy, the sound of the pipes is calling, echoing from glen to glen and down the mountainside.
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The sound of the pipes is carrying across the green valleys and steep mountains.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
The warm season has passed and even the flowers are fading away.
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
You are the one who must leave while I stay behind.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Return to me when the fields are bright with sunshine,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
Or when the valley is tranquil, blanketed in white snow.
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
I will be here for you whether the day is bright or in darkness.
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
My dear Danny, I love you so much!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
But when you return, and the flowers have withered away,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
If I have passed away, which is a possibility,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
Find the place where I rest,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
Kneel down and recite a prayer for my soul.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
Even if you walk lightly over my resting place, I will hear.
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
My resting place will become warmer and sweeter because of your presence and love.
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
Because you will lean towards my grave and confess your love to me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
I will rest peacefully until the day when you join me.
