The Galway Girl

SHARON SHANNON - The Diamond Mountain Sessions (2000 Celtic Folk)

The Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay

And she asked me up to her flat downtown

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

I've traveled around I've been all over this world

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

The Galway Girl

Bueno, di un paseo por la larga caminata de edad

De un-día-ay-ay-I

Conocí a una nińa y nos detuvimos para hablar

De un fino y suave día-I-ay-ay-I

Y yo te pregunto, amigo, que tengo que hacer

Porque su pelo era negro y sus ojos eran azules

Y yo sabía que en ese momento yo sería takin 'un giro

La vuelta al baile con una chica Salthill Galway

Estábamos a mitad de camino, cuando la lluvia caía

De un-día-ay-ay-I

Y ella me preguntó a su centro de planos

De un fino y suave día-I-ay-ay-I

Y yo te pregunto, amigo, que tengo que hacer

Porque su pelo era negro y sus ojos eran azules

Así que tomé su mano y le di un giro

Y he perdido mi corazón con una chica de Galway

Cuando me desperté, estaba solo

Con un corazón quebrantado y un billete de regreso

Y yo te pregunto, dime qué harías

Si su cabello era negro y sus ojos eran azules

He viajado por muchos sitios de este mundo

Ningún chico vera nunca una chica como las de Galway
