Hi all,
I am just wondering if anybody knows of suitable english lyrics for the song “An Deirc” (recorded by Danù on “All thing considered”)? Please share it with me 
All the best;
Eivind
I searched around, and haven’t been able to find an English translation.
I have usually seen this song titled as “Ólaim puins is ólaim tae”, which may give you some leads on finding the words.
Do you need something singable, or do you just want to know what it means? I could provide you with the latter, but I’m surprised noone would have translated this pretty common song (although the order of verses if different from what I’m used to.) Let me know…

and then scroll down to Mary Smith – the tune is a/k/a “The Humours of the King of Ballyhooley.”
'luck now,

Great, you guys!
I havent visited this thread for a while, as you can see… But thanks you for your tips. Hope you read this
Ehm, “Cailin Deás”, your (nick)name comes to me from a ballad called “Casádh an Tsúgain”…am I right? What does it mean?
Cheers,
Eivind
