Look how the lights 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 nowLook 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 homeHome 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 GalwayTéir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú, a Mhéaraí Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déantaCome 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 thereWatch 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 woo!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 morningTéir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú, a Mhéaraí Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déantaOff with a spring in my step
The sailors are searching Galway for A young lady such as myself For reels and jigs and maybe moreStay 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 youHome 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 GalwayTéir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú, a Mhéaraí Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déantaListen to the music flow
I'm falling for the flow of home I'm home to dance 'til dawningTéir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú, a Mhéaraí Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déantaStay a while and we'll dance together now
As the light is falling We'll reel away 'til the break of day And dance together 'til morningTéir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú, a Mhéaraí Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déantaTéir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú, a Mhéaraí Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar tá do mhargadh déanta Do mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta
