Lyrics of Danny Boy - The King's Singers

Danny Boy (original)

O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer’s gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
ああ私のダニーよ バグパイプの音が呼んでいるよ
谷から谷へ 山の斜面を駆け下りるように
夏は過ぎ去り バラもみんな枯れ落ちる中
あなたは あなたは行ってしまう
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
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so.
戻ってきて 夏の草原の中
谷が雪で静かに白く染まるときでもいい
日の光の中、日陰の中、私は居ます
ああ私のダニーよ、あなたを心から愛しています
But if 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.
すべての花が枯れ落ちる中、あなたが帰ってきて
もし私が既に亡くなっていても
あなたは私が眠る場所を探して
ひざまづき、お別れの言葉をかけるのです
And I shall hear, though soft, your tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.
私の上を静かにそっと歩いても私には聞こえる
あなたが愛してるといってくれたとき
私は暖かく心地よい空気に包まれるでしょう
私は安らかに眠り続けます
あなたが帰って来てくれるその時まで

(translation)

O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer ’s gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you,' tis you must go and I must bide.
Oh my Danny he's calling the sound of bagpipes
From valley to valley Like running down a mountain slope
Summer is gone and all the roses are dying
You he he you go
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
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so.
Come back in the summer meadow
Even when the valley is quietly dyed white with snow
I'm in the light, in the shade
Oh my Danny, I love you from the bottom of my heart
But if 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.
You're back as all the flowers die
Even if I'm already dead
You are looking for a place where i sleep
Knee down and say goodbye.
And I shall hear, though soft, your tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.
Even if I walk quietly and gently over me, I can hear it
When you say I love you
I will be surrounded by warm and comfortable air
I keep sleeping peacefully
Until then when you come back
