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

 

 

Judith Durham AO (born Judith Mavis Cock; 3 July 1943 – 5 August 2022) was an Australian singer, songwriter and musician who became the lead singer of the Australian folk music group The Seekers in 1963.

 

The group became the first Australian pop music group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States and have sold over 50 million records worldwide. Durham left the group in mid-1968 to pursue her solo career. In 1993, Durham began to make sporadic recordings and performances with The Seekers, though she remained primarily a solo performer. On 1 July 2015, she was named Victorian of the Year for her services to music and a range of charities.

Early life

Durham was born Judith Mavis Cock on 3 July 1943 in Essendon, Victoria, to William Alexander Cock, a navigator and World War II pathfinder, and his wife, Hazel (née Durham).  From her birth until 1949, she lived on Mount Alexander Road, Essendon.  She spent summer holidays at her family's weatherboard house (which since has been demolished) on the west side of Durham Place in Rosebud.

 

Her father accepted work in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1949. From early 1950, the family lived in Taroona, a suburb of Hobart, where Durham attended the Fahan School before moving back to Melbourne, residing in Georgian Court, Balwyn, in 1956. She was educated at Ruyton Girls' School Kew and then enrolled at RMIT.

 

Durham at first planned to be a pianist and gained the qualification of Associate in Music, Australia (AMusA), in classical piano at the University of Melbourne Conservatorium.[5] She had some professional engagements playing piano, had classical vocal training as a soprano, and performed blues, gospel and jazz pieces.  Her singing career began one night at the age of 18 when she asked Nicholas Ribush, leader of the Melbourne University Jazz Band, at the Memphis Jazz Club in Malvern, whether she could sing with the band. In 1963, she began performing at the same club with Frank Traynor's Jazz Preachers, using her mother's maiden name of Durham. In that year she also recorded her first EP, Judy Durham, with Frank Traynor's Jazz Preachers for W&G Records.

The Seekers

The Seekers consisted of Durham, Athol Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger, an ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp.) radio producer. Through Potger's position the three were able to make a demo tape in their spare time. This was given to W&G Records, which wanted another sample of Durham's voice before agreeing to record a Jazz Preachers' album. W&G instead signed the Seekers for an album, Introducing the Seekers, in 1963. Durham, however, recorded two other songs with the Jazz Preachers, "Muddy Water" (which appeared on their album Jazz from the Pulpit) and "Trombone Frankie" (an adapted version of Bessie Smith's "Trombone Cholly").

 

Death

Durham was born with asthma and at age four she caught measles, which left her with a life-long chronic lung disease, bronchiectasis.[39] Durham died from the disease at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne on 5 August 2022, at age 79.[40] She was given a state memorial service by the state of Victoria on 6 September 2022 at Hamer Hall.[41] Durham is interred with her husband Ron Edgeworth at Springvale Botanical Cemetery, Springvale.

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
