Lyrics and translation John Lennon & Yoko Ono - The Luck of the Irish
If
you
had
the
luck
of
the
Irish
Si
tu
avais
la
chance
des
Irlandais
You'd
be
sorry
and
wish
you
were
dead
Tu
serais
désolé
et
voudrais
être
mort
You
should
have
the
luck
of
the
Irish
Tu
devrais
avoir
la
chance
des
Irlandais
And
you'd
wish
you
was
English
instead!
Et
tu
souhaiterais
être
anglais
à
la
place!
A
thousand
years
of
torture
and
hunger
Mille
ans
de
torture
et
de
famine
Drove
the
people
away
from
their
land
Ont
chassé
les
gens
de
leur
terre
A
land
full
of
beauty
and
wonder
Une
terre
pleine
de
beauté
et
de
merveilles
Was
raped
by
the
British
brigands!
Goddamn!
Goddamn!
A
été
violée
par
les
brigands
britanniques!
Dieu
damné!
Dieu
damné!
If
you
could
keep
voices
like
flowers
Si
tu
pouvais
garder
des
voix
comme
des
fleurs
There'd
be
shamrock
all
over
the
world
Il
y
aurait
du
trèfle
partout
dans
le
monde
If
you
could
drink
dreams
like
Irish
streams
Si
tu
pouvais
boire
des
rêves
comme
des
ruisseaux
irlandais
Then
the
world
would
be
high
as
the
mountain
of
morn
Alors
le
monde
serait
aussi
haut
que
la
montagne
du
matin
In
the
'Pool
they
told
us
the
story
Dans
le
'Pool,
ils
nous
ont
raconté
l'histoire
How
the
English
divided
the
land
De
la
façon
dont
les
Anglais
ont
divisé
la
terre
Of
the
pain,
the
death
and
the
glory
De
la
douleur,
de
la
mort
et
de
la
gloire
And
the
poets
of
auld
Eireland
Et
des
poètes
de
la
vieille
Eireland
If
we
could
make
chains
with
the
morning
dew
Si
nous
pouvions
faire
des
chaînes
avec
la
rosée
du
matin
The
world
would
be
like
Galway
Bay
Le
monde
serait
comme
la
baie
de
Galway
Let's
walk
over
rainbows
like
leprechauns
Marchons
sur
des
arcs-en-ciel
comme
des
lutins
The
world
would
be
one
big
Blarney
stone
Le
monde
serait
une
grosse
pierre
de
Blarney
Why
the
hell
are
the
English
there
anyway?
Pourquoi
diable
les
Anglais
sont-ils
là
de
toute
façon?
As
they
kill
with
God
on
their
side
Alors
qu'ils
tuent
avec
Dieu
de
leur
côté
Blame
it
all
on
the
kids
the
IRA
Blâme
tout
sur
les
enfants
de
l'IRA
As
the
bastards
commit
genocide!
Aye!
Aye!
Genocide!
Alors
que
les
salauds
commettent
un
génocide!
Oui!
Oui!
Génocide!
If
you
had
the
luck
of
the
Irish
Si
tu
avais
la
chance
des
Irlandais
You'd
be
sorry
and
wish
you
was
dead
Tu
serais
désolé
et
voudrais
être
mort
You
should
have
the
luck
of
the
Irish
Tu
devrais
avoir
la
chance
des
Irlandais
And
you'd
wish
you
was
English
instead!
Et
tu
souhaiterais
être
anglais
à
la
place!
Yes
you'd
wish
you
was
English
instead!
Oui,
tu
souhaiterais
être
anglais
à
la
place!
