Londonderry Air(伦敦德里小调)小提琴谱
歌曲歌词
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
T'is you, T'is 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
t'is I'll be herein sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
ye'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 oh, my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For ye will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
歌曲鉴赏
倫敦德里是愛爾蘭的一個地名,與英國的首都倫敦無關,不可混淆,Air是詠唱調或小調之意。「倫敦德里小調」的填詞其實亦相當優美,只是「丹尼男孩」的填詞太受歡迎了,所以演唱者選擇以「丹尼男孩」歌詞唱的人比較多。這首歌旋律的悠揚淒美,公認只有小提琴及男高音才可完全詮釋出其動人的曲調。
