[情報] Danny Boy歌詞的由來

[MnO4 (What you waitin for)]

查wiki

Though the song is supposed to be a message from a woman to a man (Weatherly
provided the alternative "Eily dear" for male singers in his 1918 authorised
lyrics),[2] the song is actually sung by men as much as, or possibly more
often than, by women. The song has been interpreted by some listeners as a
message from a parent to a son going off to war or leaving as part of the
Irish diaspora. Still others think of the song as being sung by an older man
to a younger, not necessarily a relative. The song has sent off many fallen
fire-fighters, and is a standard with many fire department bands.

di'aspora：大移居，本義為猶太人的大流散（大寫時），這裡指
　　　　　 愛爾蘭人的遠離家鄉。
