Whitecaps on a body of water．Every seventh May Day the Irish chieftain O’Donohue returns to the Lakes of Killarney riding his great white steed，gliding over the waters to sweet unearthly music，a host of fairies preceding him and strewing his path with spring flowers．Foaming waves on a windy day are thus known as O’Donohue’s white horses．Legend has it that more than one beautiful young girl believed so strongly in O’Donohue that she threw herself into the water so he would carry her off to be his bride．

水上白沫。每隔七年，爱尔兰酋长O’Donohue在五朔节脚踏白色战马返回Killarney湖，伴着仙乐凌波踏浪，前面众多仙女在路上洒满春花。风起的日子，浪端白沫叫做O’Donohue’s white horses，字面意思是“O’Donohue的白马”。据传说，有些少女相信O’Donohue而投身水中，希望O’Donohue把自己作为新娘带走。
