Téir Abhaile Riú Lyrics

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 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 its 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
Chorus
Teir abhaile riu, teir abhaile riu, teir abhaile riu Mhearai teir abhail gus fan sa bhaile Mar ta do mhargadh deanta
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 and pick up your spoons, he's waiting to hear you play them WHOO
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
Chorus

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 go and its 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
Chorus
Listen to the music flowing, falling for the flow of hope.
I'm home to dance til dawning.
Chorus
Stay awhile, and we'll dance together, and as the light is falling,
we'll reel away til the break of day and dance together til morning.
Chorus x2
