The Boys From Killybegs - Daniel O'Donnelltranslation in French

The Boys From Killybegs

Les Garçons de Killybegs

There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal

Il y a des collines sauvages et rocheuses sur la côte du Donegal

And the fishermen are hearty, brave and free

Et les pêcheurs sont robustes, courageux et libres

And the big atlantic swell

Et la grande houle de l'Atlantique

Is a thing they know right well

Est une chose qu'ils connaissent bien

As they fight to make their living from the sea

Alors qu'ils luttent pour gagner leur vie en mer

With a pleasant rolling sea and the herring running free

Avec une mer calme et ondulante et le hareng qui court librement

And our ships all gliding Gently through the foam

Et nos navires glissant doucement à travers l'écume

When the boats are loaded down

Quand les bateaux seront chargés

There'll be singing in the town

Il y aura des chants dans la ville

When the boys of killybegs come rollin' home

Quand les garçons de Killybegs rentreront à la maison

Now you're headed out to sea and the wind is blowing free

Maintenant tu prends la mer et le vent souffle librement

And you cast your nets as rain begins to fall

Et tu jettes tes filets alors que la pluie commence à tomber

And the clouds are riding high and the wind will soon blow by

Et les nuages sont hauts et le vent soufflera bientôt

And today you'll amybe get your bumper haul

Et aujourd'hui, tu auras peut-être une prise exceptionnelle

Well the weather's very rough and the work gets plenty touth

Eh bien, le temps est très rude et le travail est très dur

And the ropes will raise the welts upon your hands

Et les cordes laisseront des marques sur tes mains

But you'll never leave the sea

Mais tu ne quitteras jamais la mer

For whoever you may be

Qui que tu sois

When it's in your blood it's hard to live on land

Quand c'est dans ton sang, c'est difficile de vivre sur terre

Now there's purple on the hills and there's green down by the shore

Maintenant il y a du violet sur les collines et du vert près du rivage

And the sun has cast it's gold upon the sea

Et le soleil a jeté son or sur la mer

And there's silver down below where the herring fishes go

Et il y a de l'argent en bas où vont les harengs

If we catch them there'll be gold for you and me

Si nous les attrapons, il y aura de l'or pour toi et moi
