From the recording Songs of Sligo
Tap dance on the streets of Sligo? Have not seen it yet but maybe this summer (to the tune of this one), maybe? Will some pick up the challenge....
Lyrics
In the heart of Connacht where the river flows,
Sligeach’s the place where the music grows.
With a jig and a reel, we gather 'round tight,
Under the moon, we’ll dance through the night.
The fiddle’s singing, and the bodhrán beats,
Join in the circle, feel the joy in your feet.
Oh, Sligeach Dance, let your spirit take flight,
The rhythm of our hearts under stars shining bright.
With every step we take, let the laughter resound,
In the warmth of our kin, where true love is found.
The hills echo back with a joyful refrain,
As we spin and we twirl in the soft evening rain.
Each smile tells a story, each glance shares a song,
In Sligeach, my friends, this is where we belong.
So come to the gathering, let your worries be lost,
In the joy of the dance, you’ll remember the cost.
Oh, Sligeach Dance, let your spirit take flight,
The rhythm of our hearts under stars shining bright.
With every step we take, let the laughter resound,
In the warmth of our kin, where true love is found.
Let the pipes play sweetly, let the night never fade,
With echoes of laughter and memories made.
Raise a glass to the friends who are close to our hearts,
In Sligeach we dance, and never drift apart.
Oh, Sligeach Dance, let your spirit take flight,
The rhythm of our hearts under stars shining bright.
With every step we take, let the laughter resound,
In the warmth of our kin, where true love is found.
So here’s to the dance, to the music we share,
In the heart of Sligeach, there's love everywhere.
With a jig and a smile, we’ll dance till we’re through,
In the spirit of joy, together me and you.
