Danny Boy 傷別離

Today the Irish ballad "Danny Boy" appears on one of the most famous newspapers in Taiwan. Some people think it is suitable only for the funeral because of the words like "dying" and "dead",while others insist that it is a song describing the sadness of losing one's beloved family or friends after long departure. Some of the lyrics go: And if you come

when all the flowers are dying

And 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.
