Danny boy
Fausto Papetti 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 song "Danny Boy" is a heartfelt and melancholic tribute to love, loss, and the passage of time. The singer is bidding farewell to his beloved Danny, who must leave their idyllic glen and venture out into the wider world. As he watches Danny go, he mourns the passing of summer and the falling of the roses, symbols of the fleeting beauty of youth and love. Yet even as he feels the ache of separation, he holds out hope that Danny will return, either when the meadow is in full bloom or in the silence of winter.
In the final stanza, the song takes a somber turn as the singer contemplates his own mortality. He imagines Danny visiting his grave and saying a prayer for him, even as the flowers die and his own spirit passes on to whatever lies beyond. And yet, in this moment of darkness, the singer finds solace in the thought that even in death, his love for Danny will remain, and that Danny's love for him will preserve his memory in this world.
Overall, "Danny Boy" is a powerful meditation on the fragility of life and the endurance of love, one that has resonated with listeners for generations.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
Oh, Danny boy, you hear the beautiful sounds of the pipes that play throughout the valleys and mountainside.
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The music echoes through the valleys and down the mountains with such a sweet melody.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
Summer has ended, the flowers are fading away, and autumn has arrived.
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
It's time for you to leave, but I must stay behind.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Come back to me during the summer when the meadows are in full bloom.
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
Or come back when the valley is silent due to being covered in a blanket of snow.
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
I'll always be here, whether it's sunny or cloudy outside.
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
Oh, Danny boy, my love for you is so strong!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
When you return and all the flowers are dying due to the end of autumn.
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
If I have passed away, which is likely.
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
You'll come and visit my resting place.
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
You will kneel down and say a prayer for my soul.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
I will hear your footsteps even if they are light.
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
My grave will seem more pleasant and comforting when you are near.
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
As you visit me, you will bend down and say that you love me.
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
I will rest in peace and await your return.
