Téir Abhaile Riú lyrics

Look how the light of the town1

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

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Téigh abhaile arú, a mhearaí3

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

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 WHO!

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

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Téigh abhaile arú, a mhearaí3

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

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

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Téigh abhaile arú, a mhearaí3

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

Listen to the music flow

I'm falling for the flow of home

I'm home to dance till dawning

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Téigh abhaile arú, a mhearaí3

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

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

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Téigh abhaile arú, a mhearaí3

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Téigh abhaile arú, a mhearaí3

Téigh abhaile agus fan sa bhaile2

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta4

Do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta
