Davy Spillane feat Sinead O'Connor-Danny Boy (The Derry Air)

Este tema tradicional irlandés, de una rara belleza y melancolía, ha sido escrito y reescrito en muchas ocasiones.
Esta versión "política", adaptada y cantada por Sinead O'Connor está incluida en el CD "The Sea of Dreams" (1998) de Davy Spillane.
Las imágenes de Irlanda son de un video de TARTALALU (que espero no le importe su utilización en este).

Danny Boy Lyrics
Artist: Sinead O'Connor

"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 falling.
'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.
And I'll be here
in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,
I love you so.
But if you come,
and all the flowers are falling.
And I am dead,
as dead I might well be.
You'll come and find
the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say
an "Ave" there for me.
And I will hear,
though soft your tread above me.
And all my grave
will warmer sweeter be.
And you will bend
and tell me that you love me.
And I shall sleep
in peace until you come to me.
But if I live,
and should you die for Ireland,
Let not your dying thoughts
be just of me.
But say a prayer to God
for our dearest Ireland.
I know He'll hear
and help to set her free.
And I will take your pike
and place my dearest,
And strike a blow,
though weak the blow may be.
T'will help the cause
to which your heart was nearest
Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy
I love you so."

Your country failed twice to conquer Europe through force of arms and, since bribery is war continued through other means, you've now decided to simply buy it. Fair play, Germany wins this round but don't come on here saying "fuck Ireland". You're going to heap scorn on a nation that since independence hasn't done shit to anyone, and you coming from a country with one of the most reprehensible histories going? Go examine yourselves in Germany before you point the finger.

Quit fighting you idiots and listen to the great music.

It is hard to believe that a race that is so fun luving and such great singers has had such a troubled past.

It is great to see things are better there now. (Well except for the economy)

Also thanks Ireland for sending us all the great young lads that are playing at our local soccer club. They do your country proud,

@Portlaoise50 Give your chin a wipe you're talking shite.

@TheGranule She's batshit.

@SuperClagnut Yes because it's a fucking opium den with the junkies on barstools instead of mats on the ground.

Logic neither required nor intended, it's an absurdity plain and simple. What we have there is a quote from the Hardybucks losarman and this spat with the German is just a bit of fun for your lunchtime, don't take it all so seriously. For my own part I hope that I'm never so bereft of things to do in my life that a comment left by a complete stranger on a Youtube video (admittedly a great Youtube video) affects my life to the degree that I'm ashamed of my nationality. Thanks, bye.

@gallowglarse it´s comments like this which make me sad to be irish and then I remember that everyone in Ireland is not like this (even if there are a few left). Your logic is incorrect anyway, it would be impossible to fuck yourself with a banana made from cream, it being a light foam and all that.

Nice to see that a lot of people here agree with me

Agus dare leat glaoch orm ar sceimhlitheoireachta, agus tú ag féachaint síos do gunnaí!

Proper order my friend, I don't think that other fool is representative of your countrymen and women. I know many fine Germans.
