Ed Sheeran: in Irlanda per il video di Galway Girl

Ed Sheeran si trova in Irlanda per girare il video di “Galway Girl”, terzo singolo estratto dal suo ultimo album “Divide”.

Dopo Castle On The Hill e Shape Of You, Ed Sheeran si sta preparando a lanciare il suo prossimo singolo di “Divide”: Galway Girl. Il cantante britannico ha pubblicato una foto sul suo profilo Instagram per ringraziare la città di Galway e i suoi abitanti.

“Grazie a Galway e tutte le persone meravigliose per averci aiutato a girare un video musicale ieri”.

Sembrerebbero non esserci dubbi sull’imminente lancio del nuovo singolo unitamente al nuovo videoclip.

Sapete chi è la ragazza che ha ispirato Ed Sheeran nella stesura del testo di Galway Girl? In una recente intervista con l’Irish Time il segreto è stato svelato. Sheeran ha dichiarato che l’idea per scrivere il pezzo gliel’ha fatta venire  Niamh Dunne, violinista della band nord irlandese Beoga. Eccola in una foto con la sua band.

E’ a lei che ha pensato quando ha scritto la prima frase del testo “She played the fiddle in an Irish band“. Il resto però è solo frutto della fantasia di Ed.
Ascoltiamo ancora una volta Galway Girl e auguriamoci che il nuovo video arrivi presto.
Ed Sheeran – Galway Girl: Lyric Video

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
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 Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
A capella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
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”
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
And 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
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I’m gonna 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
