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 leaves are falling
’Tis you, ‘tis you must go and I must bide.
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the leaves are falling
’Tis you, ‘tis you must go and I must bide.
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.

Go mbeannaí an Tiarna thú agus go gcumhdaí sé thú.
Go dtaitní gnúis an Tiarna ort agus go raibh sé caoin leat.
Go nochta an Tiarna a ghnúis duit agus go dtuga sé síocháin duit.
