Lyrics and French translation Bert Jansch - The Old Triangle




The Old Triangle
Le Vieux Triangle
A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
Une sensation de faim m'a envahi
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
Et les souris glapissaient dans ma cellule
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
To begin the morning a screw was bawling
Pour commencer la journée, un garde criait
'Get up you bowsie and clean up your cell'
'Lève-toi, paresseux, et nettoie ta cellule'
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
On a fine spring evening the lag lay dreaming
Un beau soir de printemps, le prisonnier rêvait
The seagulls wheeling high over the wall
Les mouettes tournoyaient au-dessus du mur
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
The lags were sleeping, Humpy Gussy was creeping
Les prisonniers dormaient, Humpy Gussy se faufilait
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
Alors que je pleurais pour ma bien-aimée Sal
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
The wind was rising and the day declining
Le vent se levait et la journée déclinait
As I lay pining in my prison cell
Alors que je languissais dans ma cellule
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
In the female prison there are seventy five women
Dans la prison pour femmes, il y a soixante-quinze femmes
'Tis among them I wish I did dwell
J'aimerais tant que tu sois parmi elles
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
The day was dying and the wind was sighing
Le jour mourrait et le vent soupirait
As I lay crying in my prison cell
Alors que je pleurais dans ma cellule
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Et le vieux triangle jouait jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
