Galway Girl

I took a stroll down the old long walk
On the day I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a grande soft day 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
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway Girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
On the day I-ay-I-ay
And she took me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day 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 - Oh!

So when I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you friend, what would you do?
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

See I've travelled around, I've been all over the world
But I've never seen nothing like a Galway girl - woo! oh!

Cailín Na Gaillimhe

Unique Word Count: 85

Bhuel do thug mé cos ar an tsiúlóid mhór 
Thart ar lár an lae
Is de bhuail mé le cailín breá dathúil 
Agus thosaíomar ag plé

Agus n'fheadar liom 
Cad a thiocfaidh orm
Lena gruaig chomh dubh 
Is a súile gorm

Ach thóg mé a lámh 
Thug mé rince di
Agus phóg mé cailín na Gaillimhe.

Bhíomar leath-shlí tríd nuair a d'oscail spéir 
Níos déanaí ins an lae
Agus rith muid síos chuig a árasán 
Chomh bog an lae i-ay

Agus n'fheadar liom 
Cad a thiocfaidh orm 
Lena gruaig chomh dubh Is a súile gorm

Ach thóg mé a lámh 
Thug mé rince di
Agus phóg mé cailín na Gaillimhe.

Bhuel do dhúisigh mé agus mé liom féin 
D'fhág sí mé i-ay
Le mo chroí bhriste bhí pian laistigh

Agus n'fheadar liom 
Cad a tharlaíonn linn
Nuair a chasamar leis an gcailín sin

Tá feicthe ann gach uile naomh
Ach níl a leithéid le cailín na Gaillimhe.
