Happy St. Patricks Day – Oh Danny Boy
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
I wish to all o’ ya a happy happy St.Patricks day and present to you “Danny Boy” performed by Sinead O Connor on The Late Late show Christmas 1993 , and as for Ireland, I pray to the Dark Stars for peace up there!! It’s two nations, two religions but only one Ireland, and for each and everyone up there it’s only ONE life. Live it wisely, love , party , have fun and don’t endulge in violence. Peace !!
Ah 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 may 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 o’er my grave
will warmer sweeter be
And you will bend
and tell me that you love me
And I will 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 Island
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
Twill help the cause
to which your heart was nearest
Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy
I love you so.
Sometimes, just when you run out of words, because your emotions outrace your mind, there is a poem, or best there is a song expressing what can’t be fit into words by one self. So I dedicate this post to all the coma patients out there, seeing the text as symbolic, because in the end it doesn’t matter if it’s a real war, a persons war on himself, the war on the streets highways, or else …
