Help: Danny Boy Spanish & Italian Sound-alike

Subject: Names of Italian & Spanish "Danny Boy" Soundalikes
From: cecastil@cisco.com

Folks, I recall seeing some kind of reference to various songs around the world that carry the same tune and/or context/meaning as "Danny Boy". I'm interested in the closest Italian or Spanish (Latin American) sound-alikes to this song for a family heritage project I'm working on. There is a Mexican song entitled "Las Colondrinas" which carries a similar tune and same sentiment as "Danny Boy". I would love to know about any other such songs in Italian or Spanish, regardless of country of origin.

Thanks,

Cerafin

Do you mean "La Golondrina"? It's certainly got the compass from very high to very low, and some phrases (musical) sound similar.
