La La Look how the light of the town The lights of the town are shining now Tonight I'll be dancing around I'm off on the road to Galway now Look how she's off on the town She's off on a search for sailors, though There's fine fellas here to be found She's never been one to stay at home Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay And you've work to do in the morning Give up your dream of going away Forget your sailors in Galway Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhaile gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Come now and follow me down Down to the lights of Galway, where There's fine sailors walking the town And waiting to meet the ladies there Watch now he'll soon be along He's finer than any sailor so Come on now pick up your spoons He's waiting to hear you play them, WHOOO! Here today and she's gone tomorrow And next she's going to Galway Jiggin' around and off to town And won't be back until morning Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhaile gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Off with a spring in my step The sailors are searching Galway for A young lady such as myself
For reels and jigs and maybe more Stay here and never you mind The lights of the town are blinding you The sailors they come and they go But listen to what's reminding you Handsome men surrounding you Dancing a reel around you Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay And you've work to do in the morning Give up your dream of going away Forget your sailors in Galway Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhaile gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Listen to the music flow I'm falling for the flow of home I'm home to dance till dawning Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhaile gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Stay a while and we'll dance together now As the light is falling We'll reel away till the break of day And dance together till morning Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhaile gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhaile gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta.
