Original Lyrics
Translation in Portuguese

chorus

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
Ela tocava violino em uma banda irlandesa
But she fell in love with an English man
Mas ela se apaixonou por um homem inglês
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Beijei-a no pescoço e então a peguei pela mão
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
Falei, "Querida eu só quero dançar"

verse

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
Eu a conheci na rua Grafton do lado de fora do bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
Ela dividiu um cigarro comigo enquanto o irmão dela tocava violão
She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
Ela me perguntou "O que significa essa marca gaélica no seu braço?"
Said it was one of my friend′s songs, do you want to drink on?
Disse que era uma das músicas do meu amigo, você quer beber?
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
Ela começou bebendo Jameson e Jack Daniel's
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun
Depois pediu Guinness e o uísque Powers
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Conversamos mais um pouco, mais um drink no bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
Colocamos Van Morrison pra tocar, nos levantamos pra dançar

chorus

You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
Você sabe, ela tocava violino numa banda irlandesa
But she fell in love with an English man
Mas ela se apaixonou por um homem inglês
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Beijei-a no pescoço e então a peguei pela mão
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
Falei, "Querida eu só quero dançar"
With my pretty little Galway Girl
Com minha pequena e linda garota de Galway
You're my pretty little Galway Girl
Você é minha pequena garota de Galway

verse

You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
Ela me venceu nos dardos e na sinuca
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
E então ela me beijou como se não houvesse mais ninguém no quarto
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
Foi quando pedimos a saideira que ela se sentou no banquinho
After dancing to Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
Depois de dançar Cèilidh cantando músicas tradicionais
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
Nunca ouvi Carrickfergus numa voz tão doce
A capella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Acapella no bar, fazendo a batida com os pés
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
Oh, eu poderia ter essa voz tocando repetidamente por uma semana
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
E nesse lugar cheio de gente, juro que ela estava cantando para mim

chorus

You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
Você sabe, ela tocava violino numa banda irlandesa
But she fell in love with an English man
Mas ela se apaixonou por um homem inglês
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Beijei-a no pescoço e então a peguei pela mão
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
Falei, "Querida eu só quero dançar"
My pretty little Galway Girl
Minha linda garota de Galway
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha garota galesa
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha garota galesa
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha garota galesa

verse

And now we′ve outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
Já passamos da hora e está na hora de fechar
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Eu estava segurando a mão dela, a mão dela estava segurando a minha
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
Nossos casacos cheiravam a fumaça, whisky e vinho
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
Enquanto enchíamos os pulmões com o ar frio da noite
I walked her home then she took me inside
Eu fui até a casa dela, ela me convidou para entrar
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
Para terminar uns Doritos e mais uma garrafa de vinho
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
Eu juro que vou te colocar em uma música que eu escrever
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
Sobre uma garota de Galway e uma noite perfeita

chorus

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
Ela tocava violino em uma banda irlandesa
But she fell in love with an English man
Mas ela se apaixonou por um homem inglês
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Beijei-a no pescoço e então a peguei pela mão
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
Falei, "Querida eu só quero dançar"
My pretty little Galway Girl
Minha linda garota de Galway
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha garota galesa
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha garota galesa
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha, minha garota galesa
