Lyrics and translation Christy Moore - Three Drunken Maidens




Three Drunken Maidens
Trois Filles Ivres
There were three drunken maidens
Il y avait trois filles ivres
Come from the Isle of Wight
Qui venaient de l'île de Wight
They drunk from Monday morning
Elles ont bu dès lundi matin
Nor stopped till Saturday night
Et n'ont pas arrêté jusqu'à samedi soir
When Saturday night would come me boys,
Quand samedi soir est arrivé, mon garçon,
They wouldn't then go out
Elles ne voulaient pas sortir
And these three drunken maidens,
Et ces trois filles ivres,
They pushed the jug about.
Ont fait passer le pichet de l'une à l'autre.
Then in comes bouncing Sally,
Puis arrive Sally, bondissante,
Her cheeks as red as blooms
Ses joues rouges comme des fleurs
Move up me jolly sisters,
Faites place, mes jolies sœurs,
And give young Sally some room
Et laissez un peu de place à la jeune Sally
Then I will be your equal
Alors je serai votre égale
Before the night is out
Avant que la nuit ne soit finie
And these four drunken maidens,
Et ces quatre filles ivres,
They pushed the jug about.
Ont fait passer le pichet de l'une à l'autre.
There's woodcock and pheasant,
Il y a du bécasseau et du faisan,
There's partridge and hare
Il y a de la perdrix et du lièvre
There's all sorts of dainties,
Il y a toutes sortes de friandises,
No scarcity was there
Il n'y avait pas de pénurie
There's forty quarts of beer, me boys,
Il y a quarante pintes de bière, mon garçon,
They fairly drunk them out rose
Elles les ont bues toutes
And these four drunken maidens,
Et ces quatre filles ivres,
They pushed the jug about.
Ont fait passer le pichet de l'une à l'autre.
And up comes the landlord,
Et arrive le patron,
He's asking for his pay
Il demande son
It is a forty pound bill, me boys
C'est une facture de quarante livres, mon garçon
These gobs have got to pay
Ces filles doivent payer
That's ten pounds apiece, me boys,
C'est dix livres par tête, mon garçon,
But still they wouldn't go out
Mais elles ne voulaient toujours pas sortir
These four drunken maidens,
Ces quatre filles ivres,
They pushed the jug about.
Ont fait passer le pichet de l'une à l'autre.
Oh where are your feather hats,
sont vos chapeaux à plumes,
Your mantles rich and fine
Vos manteaux riches et fins
They all got swallowed up, me lads,
Ils ont tous été engloutis, les gars,
In tankards of good wine
Dans des chopes de bon vin
And where are your maidenheads,
Et sont vos virginités,
You maidens frisk and gay
Vous, les filles folâtres et gaies
We left them in the alehouse,
Nous les avons laissées à la taverne,
We drank them clean away
Nous les avons bues jusqu'à la dernière goutte.
