Hier, nous avons passé l’après midi à Galway. On a choisi ce jour parce qu’on allait pas mal marcher et qu’il faisait très beau mais aussi parce que le festival de rue commence aujourd’hui jusqu’à la fin du mois et qu’on pensait que certains endroits deviendraient inaccessibles. Et ben, c’était déjà le cas, mais j’ai l’impression que ça doit être comme ça tous les weekends, dès qu’il fait beau. 10m, quelqu’un qui joue de la musique ou qui danse! On a quand même été surpris par le nombre d’enfants qui jouent d’un instrument dans la rue : violon, flûte, cornemuse…
Et on a croisé tout plein de Galway girls et peut être même celle d’Ed Sheran, même si la Grafton Street que je connais est à Dublin…

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, « baby, I just want to dance »
I meet her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was one of my friend’s songs, do you want to drink on?
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, « baby, I just want to dance »
With my pretty little Galway girl
You’re my pretty little Galway girl
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
After dancing to Kaleigh, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
A capella in the bar using her feet for a beat
