Da domani in tutte le radio il nuovo singolo di Ed Sheeran – Galway Girl
Il nuovo singolo di Ed Sheeran – Galway Girl sarà in rotazione radiofonica da venerdì 26 maggio, pur essendo già certificato disco di platino in Italia in quanto già disponibile in versione digitale (audio e video) dal 5 maggio.
Il video di “Galway Girl”, con all’attivo oltre 67milioni di visualizzazioni in meno di tre settimane, vede come protagonista l’attrice Saoirse Ronan, candidata all’Oscar per ‘Brooklyn’, su una storia scritta dallo stesso Ed Sheeran e girato da Jason Koenig.
Il singolo è stato estratto dall’album ÷ (divide), che entrato nella storia come il disco di un artista maschile che ha venduto più copie al mondo nel minor tempo. Grande fortuna anche in Italia per l’album, che da più di 10 settimane (ossia da quando è uscito ufficialmente) è stabilmente in top ten, e con il precedente singolo “Shape of You” che ha battuto ogni tipo di record raggiungendo il sesto disco di Platino in Italia e rimanendo dopo oltre 4 mesi nella top 3 della classifica di vendita e di Spotify e top 20 nell’airplay radiofonico.

Ed Sheeran – Galway Girl (Testo):
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 saw 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
Chilled some more one more drink at the bar
Then say I’m on the jukebox, got 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 Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sing so sweet
Acapella in the bar wring her feet for the beat
Oh, I could have that while playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
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
My pretty little Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she took me inside
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
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
My pretty little Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
