One night through the black Poor Donall hunch back
His cart down the glenside was bringing
When he heard the sweet sound of fairies all round
And this is the song they were singing
Dia Luain , dia Mairt , dia Luain, dia Mairt, dia Luain, dia Mairt
He stopped in his track Poor Donall hunchback
At the voices so beautifully blending
Though the music was sweet it was quite incomplete
For they couldn't remember the ending
Dia Luain, dia Mairt, dia Luain, dia Mairt, dia Luain, dia Mairt
Though poor Donall was shy he could never stand by
And leave their frustrations unheeded
So he stifled his fear and he sang soft and clear
Adding the word that they neeeded
Dia Luain, dia Mairt , dia Luain, dia Mairt dia Luain, dia Mairt
Agus Ceadaoin
And the fairies were glad and so grateful he had
Put an end to the song they were voicing
With their magical knack took the hump from his back
And Donall went homeward rejoicing
Dia Luain, dia Mairt , dia Luain, dia Mairt dia Luain, dia Mairt
