I got ready to sing and sighed, I was so suddenly nervous. I leaned forward to the mic and began.
"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," I shook the tambourine furiously and tapped my feet using it for the beat. I took a deep breath of air. I saw Tristan smiling at me and I smiled back. I felt invincible up here.
"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," Momma got up and began to dance and soon others stood to dance as well. I hopped off the stage and walked over to Tristan. He stood and we danced.
"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
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta." I stopped along with the music, I looked around breathless as the cafe erupted in cheers and I smiled. Adrenaline pumping in my veins. I walked back to the stage and did a curtsy. I put the tambourine down and someone, a very handsome someone, the someone I just can't help falling for yelled out "Encore!"
The rest of the cafe joined in and I shook my head suddenly feeling shy. "Encore, encore, encore." I smiled and spoke into the mic. "Are you guys sure you want an encore?" They all shouted yes at once I thought it was just one voice. I sighed out of breath and put a single finger up. "Give me a sec."
Mr. Moon handed me an unopened water bottle and I thanked him. I took just a minute to take it all in, everyone looked ready to jump up and dance once more. Momma caught my attention the most because she seemed to be wiping tears from her eyes. She gave me a thumbs up and I saw a regular camera in her hands. The red recording light was on and I smiled and waved at her. I did really practice a second song for this but I knew a different one by heart.
