First, you need to clean the galvanized wire thoroughly. It usually has a film of oil/flux on it from the galvanizing process, if it is dip galvanized. Wipe it well with a Scotchbrite pad and some alcohol. Then "tin" it first by heating and applying a coating of your solder.
Do the same with the copper pipe and then solder them together. You'll need to concentrate your heat on the copper pipe, as it will absorb much more heat than the wire.
I'd suggest that you get some liquid flux that contains ammonium chloride.
