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 roses falling,

It's you, it's 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,

It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,

Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

 

But when 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.

 

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,

And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,

For you will bend and tell me that you love me,

And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,

하지만 저 초원에 여름이 오면 네가 돌아올까

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,

산골짝마다 흰 눈이 덮이면 네가 돌아올까

It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,

눈이 오나 비가 오나 늘 여기서 널 기다리마

Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

오 대니, 내 사랑하는 아들 대니야

 

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,

하지만 네가 올 때  모든 꽃들은 시들어 죽어가고

And  I am dead, as dead I well may be,

나 또한 죽어 땅에 묻히리

You'll come and find the place where I am lying,

네가  나 누워있는 곳을 찾아와

And  kneel and say an Ave [άːvei] there for me.

무릎 꿇고 내게  Ave 인사를 고하리라

 

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,

내 무덤 위로 흐르는 고운 네 목소리 들으면

And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,

내 무덤은 더 따뜻하고 안락해지겠지.

For you will bend and tell me that you love me,

네가 고개숙여 날 사랑한다 말하기에

And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

난 네가 올 때까지 평화롭게 잠들리라

"Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" is a song that tells the story of Annie Moore, the first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island in New York when it opened on January 1, 1892.

 

Annie Moore was a young Irish girl who, along with her two brothers, journeyed from Ireland to the United States.

 

The song reflects on the broader experience of millions of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island, often referred to as the "Isle of Hope" because of the new opportunities and hope for a better life it represented.

 

Conversely, it was also known as the "Isle of Tears" due to the immigrants' hardships, separation from the homeland, and uncertainties.

 

The lyrics poignantly capture hope and sorrow, the joy of new beginnings, and the pain of leaving one's homeland.

 

It's a tribute to the courage and resilience of immigrants and a reminder of their significant contributions to the fabric of American society.

 

The song is often associated with themes of immigration, heritage, and the emotional journey of seeking a new life in a foreign land.

 

Here is The Irish Tenors {Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns and Ronan Tynan}, singing Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears.

 

Annie Moore was the first immigrant to the USA to pass through the Ellis Island facility in New York Harbour. Moore arrived from County Cork, Ireland aboard the steamship Nevada on January 1, 1892, her fifteenth birthday.

 

As the first person to be processed at the newly opened facility, she was presented with a $10 gold piece. Moore was accompanied by her brothers Phillip and Anthony.

 

 

On the first day on January, Eighteen ninety-two,

They opened Ellis Island and they let

The people through.

And the first to cross that threshold

Of that isle of hope and tears,

Was Annie Moore from Ireland

Was all of fifteen years?

 

CHORUS:

 

Isle of hope, isle of tears,

Isle of freedom, isle of fears,

But it's not the isle you left behind.

That isle of hunger, isle of pain,

Isle you'll never see again

But the isle of home is always on your mind.

 

In her little bag she carried

All her past and history,

And her dreams for the future

In the land of liberty.

And courage is the passport

When your old world disappears

But there's no future in the past

When you're fifteen years

 

Chorus

 

When they closed down Ellis Island

In nineteen forty-three,

Seventeen million people

Had come there for sanctuary.

And in Springtime when I came here

And I stepped onto its piers,

I thought of how it must have been

When you're fifteen years.
