这首《伦敦德里朵汽姜小调》英文名字是Londonderry Air 、或是The Song Of欢汽 Lo充雄碑ndonderry，又名《伦敦德里之歌》、《丹尼男孩翻习记宙举颂 说巩永》（Danny Boy）；是根据流旋欢泪传在伦敦德里（爱尔兰岛北部的一个小城）一首古老民歌《向库库列英告别》改弃洪编而成的。
Would God I were the tender apple blossom
That floats and falls from off the twisted bough
To lie and faint within your silken bosom
Within your silken bosom as that does now.
Or would I were a little burnish'd apple
For you to pluck me, gliding by so cold
While sun and shade you robe of lawn will dapple
Yea, would to God I were among the roses
That lean to kiss you as you float between
While on the lowest branch a bud uncloses
A bud uncloses, to touch you, queen.
Nay, since you will not love, would I were growing
A happy daisy, in the garden path
That so your silver foot might press me going
Might press me going even unto death.
【翻译】哦但愿我是娇柔的苹果花
飘落在你那温柔的胸怀
我把它当作我的家我长住下
哦但愿我是光亮的苹果
在树上等你将我摘下
树荫下阳光在你的身上描画
也照亮你的金色头发
跟你走过我能够吻你
我成为最低枝条上的蓓蕾
就能轻轻触摸最美的你
哦既然我的爱情没有希望
我愿做雏菊开在小路上
你漫步荒原踩在我的身上
我就在你的脚下死亡
这首曲子的作曲者为罗利戴尔欧卡汉，英文原名为Rory Dall OCahan，此曲写于1600年间。
后来，费德里克魏舍利，英文原名为Frederick Edward Weatherly，他在1913年将其填了DANNY BOY的歌词，深受当时人们的喜爱。罗利戴尔欧卡汉当初写这首歌时，歌名为伦敦德里小调英文原名为Londonderry Air，亦有歌词。伦敦德里是北爱尔兰的一个地名，与英国的首都伦敦无关，不可混淆，Air是咏唱调或小调之意。伦敦德里小调的填词其实亦相当优美，只是DANNY BOY的填词太受欢迎了，所以演唱者选择以DANNY BOY歌词唱的人比较多，其实二种歌词之意境是不分轩轾的。
伦敦德里小调Oh Danny Boy,
The pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glenn to Glenn
And down the mountain side.
The summer's gone
And all the flowers are dying.
'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.
'Tis 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 roses falling
And I am dead
As dead I well may be.
Go out and find
The place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I will hear
The soft you tread above me
And then my grave
Will warm and sweeter be.
For you shall bend and tell me
That you love me
And I will sleep in peace
Until you come to me.
The Gentle Harp
My gentle harp, once more I waken
The sweetness of thy slumb'ring strain
In tears our last farewell was taken
And nos in tears we meet again.
Yet even then, while peace was singing,
Her halcyon song o'er land and sea,
Though joy and hope to others bringing,
Then who can ask for notes of pleasure,
My drooping harp, from chords like thine?
Alas, the lark's gay morning measure
As ill would suit the swan's decline.
Or how shall I, who love, who bless thee,
Invoke thy breath for freedom's strains,
When e'en the wreaths in which I dress thee,
Are sadly mixed, half flours, half chains.
其实中文填词还有一首写得非常棒的，名为秋夜吟。其歌词如下：
月亮当空，照射大地明亮如镜，
云淡风轻，秋高又气爽。
在这个优美撩人的秋夜里，
想起了遥远的故乡，家乡的母亲。
啊！母亲呀！我最爱的母亲，
您爱家乡，却更爱着我们，
为了我们明天有光荣的前程，
引导着我们奔向旅程。
[1-2]
