DANNY BOY

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
'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.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And 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, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Eins meiner Lieblingssongs, hier ist ein anderes, dass besser in die

WILD MOUNTAIN THYME

Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.

Will you go, lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will you go, lassie, go?

typisch für uns. Am Brunnen vor dem Tore (1:2 gegen Kroatien).
Auch in Dublin spricht man übers Wesentliche, das Wetter - schon gar
nicht gälisch, das doch eigentlich die Landessprache ist:
"If you can the hill over there it will rain. If you can´t see that hill
it is raining. ...

Ach ... und d u kennst welche, kannst welche
singen, ohne dass man dir jeden Ton und jedes
Wort für einen Euro abkaufen müsste?
Ãœbrigens: Eines meiner deutschen Lieblingsvolks-
lieder ist ein fränkisches: "Stehn zwei

Kennst du's?
