  • This is what’s known as a “matchmaking song” in the Irish tradition.
    It tells the story of a young woman, Méirí, who’s been eyeing up sailors (and then a piper) over the course of an evening - most likely during a seisiún ceol. The singer may be the woman’s father, teasing her for taking an interest in such men.
    Performed by Celtic Woman
    Album: Believe (2011)

    In my mind, Meiri had a magical night with one of the sailors and thought she'd never see him again, yet she returns to the docks nonetheless, and tomorrow she's to find out her arranged marriage is actually to that sailor who was a nobleman masquerading as a sailor the whole time😊

    Many years ago in a small village in Ireland near Galway, there was a little girl named Mhéíri. She was a very independent even as a young child. She loved traveling and learning things. She dreamed of traveling far away and exploring the world. Nobody in the village understood her, she often went to the ocean or the forest. She would try to go as far as she could.
    Once she reached 14, Mhéíri had come up with a plan to escape her village. That day she packed up her stuff and left to get in her boat. All of the villagers watched as she walked towards the ocean. She was off to Galway and no one could stop her.
    The villagers tried to tell her to forget her dreams. She realized they loved her and she decided to stay for the night. She didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but she enjoyed her last night with the village she loved.

I want a life like that . there is always gossiping and people talking about responsibilities and all. where I just want to run away far from the people away and stay happily in a cottage reading books and working or farming .

Everything's vibrant, girls giddily try and get the sailors' attention, Meiri's living it up despite the fact that she's got work in the morning.

      The "valley" would be more like "valluh" and "varreea" would be "varrgha" where the gh is almost like a gargling but other than that I think you're pretty spot on (I'm going by Scottish Gaelic pronunciation which isn't far off Gaeilge for these words)

    i like to think the chorus of the other girls are Meiri's sisters. They accompany her to town most of the time but sometimes she sneaks off by herself and the sisters go pick her up before dawn so their parents won't notice. The part near the end is when Meiri's sisters get caugth on their way to pick up their sister and so their panrents ground them. Meiri wants to say goodbye to a sailor she meet the day after she gets confiened to her room so her sisters approach her and one of them disguises herself as Meiri while the real one sneaks off. In the instrumental she's running to town to give her sailor one "see you soon" kiss.

    Look how the light 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 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
    Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
    Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
    Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
    Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
    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 WHOOO!
    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
    Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
    Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
    Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
    Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
    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
    Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
    Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
    Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
    Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
    Listen to the music flow
    I'm falling for the flow of home
    I'm home to dance till dawning
    Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
    Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
    Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
    Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
    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
    Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
    Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
    Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
    Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
    Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú

    The interpretation in the description is cool, but I think of the voices of the other people toward Meiri are actually her dwelling on the opposition people have told herself. I think this is most apparent when it says "The sailors they come and they go, but listen to what's reminding you." Meiri is full of second thoughts about this, remembering her responsibilities (You've got work to do in the morning) and remembering her betrothed. Eventually she decides to turn back away from Galway and goes back home to stay with her betrothed (I'm falling for the flow of home) and decides to dance with him instead, which is very beautiful.
    Either way, a really great song.

      I tried it (the app) and it didn’t help me learn it at all.It was basically just a “guess what this means” game and didn’t even tell me how to pronounce it, it was just “Hey here’s how this word is written...guess what it means”

      ThatWeirdGirl, the Duolingo desktop version has a lot more information. Especially in the tips and tricks section! The comments section is invaluable as well. You can also try Memrise for memorization. I've been having a lot of fun learning Irish.

    This song vibes with my current DnD character. She's an air genasi sorcerer that grew up in a strict convent and ran away to pursue a life of adventure. Last session she went carosing, made friends with some sailors and got in a (very one sided) fight with a young bronze dragon. Good times!
