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 the search for sailors,
though there's five fellas here to be found,
she's never been one to stay at 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 and forget your sailors in Galway.
Cheru waluru,
cheru waluru,
cheru waluru veri,
cheru waluka swanso wali martha,
duwada gajinta.
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 still 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.
Here today and she's gone tomorrow and next she's going to Galway.
She can go round
to the ladies such as myself,
forreals and dicks 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 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.
Cheru waluru,
cheru waluru,
cheru waluru veri,
cheru waluka swanso wali martha,
duwada gajinta.
Listen to the music flow,
I'm falling for the flow of home,
I'm home to dance till dawn.
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.
Cheru waluru, cheru waluru, cheru waluru veri,
cheru waluka swanso wali martha, duwada gajinta.
Cheru waluru,
cheru waluru,
cheru waluru veri,
cheru waluka swanso wali martha,
duwada gajinta.
duwada gajinta, duwada gajinta.
