作曲 : Gavin Murphy/Méav Ní Mhaolchatha

On summer nights when the barn is high

The stars are twinkling in the sky

Take a walk by the riverside

And let the music be your guide

Follow where the pathway takes you

On your bike or arm in arm

Through the crossroad, to the dance hall

Down the road to Murphy's barn

We plant the seeds and till the soil

We pray for rain and pray for sun

Now it's time to stop a while

Forget your worries everyone

Once the barn was full of grain

Then old Murphy took the chance

Cleaned it out and hired a band

Now it's the ballroom of romance

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Leave your troubles at the door

We will dance until the morning light

Come take my hand and we'll take the floor

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Around the floor, now one two three

We will dance until the break of dawn

So take my hand and dance with me

The week is over, work is done

So now it's time to have some fun

The place is old and there's money owed

Tonight forget that heavy load

The sky is clear, without a cloud

The air, it hums with music loud

The moon is full and shining bright

They'll come from far and wide tonight

Will I get to steal a dance

With the one who sents me in a trance?

Now, at least, you get to dance

Down at the ballroom of romance

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Leave your troubles at the door

We will dance until the morning light

Come take my hand and we'll take the floor

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Around the floor, now one two three

We will dance until the break of dawn

So take my hand and dance with me

Shined his boots and combed his hair

Chosen something fine to wear

By cap and glove, could this be love?

Is there magic in the air?

The one that chases every day

Now is lost for words to say

To the girl in the flowing dress

This night they never will forget

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Leave your troubles at the door

We will dance until the morning light

Come take my hand and we'll take the floor

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Around the floor, now one two three

We will dance until the break of dawn

So take my hand and dance with me

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Leave your troubles at the door

We will dance until the morning light

Come take my hand and we'll take the floor

Whack for the danna, swing your partner

Around the floor, now one two three

We will dance until the break of dawn

So take my hand and dance with me
