Lyrics and translation Cat Power - Ye Auld Triangle

Ye Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling, came o′er me stealing
And the mice, were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh, to start the morning with warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh, the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the women's prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Ye Auld Triangle

Un sentiment de faim m'a envahi
Et les souris piaillaient dans ma cellule de prison
Et cet auld triangle allait jingle jangle
Tout le long des berges du Royal Canal

Oh, commencer la matinée avec le gardien qui gueule
Lève-toi, nettoie ta cellule
Et cet auld triangle allait jingle jangle
Tout le long des berges du Royal Canal

Le gardien regardait par le judas et le prisonnier dormait
Alors qu'il pleurait sa nana Sal
Et cet auld triangle allait jingle jangle
Tout le long des berges du Royal Canal

Par une belle soirée de printemps, le prisonnier rêvait
Et les mouettes tournoyaient au-dessus du mur
Et cet auld triangle allait jingle jangle
Tout le long des berges du Royal Canal

Oh, le vent soupirait et le jour se mourait
Alors que le prisonnier pleurait dans sa cellule
Et cet auld triangle allait jingle bloody jangle
Tout le long des berges du Royal Canal

Dans la prison pour femmes, il y a soixante-dix femmes
Et j'aimerais bien être avec elles
Et cet auld triangle allait jingle jangle
Tout le long des berges du Royal Canal
