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 abhail 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 abhail 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 abhail 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 abhail 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 abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú Téir abhaile riú Mhearai Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta
