Lyrics and translation Luke Kelly - Bunclody
Oh
were
I
at
the
moss
house
Oh,
si
j'étais
à
la
maison
de
mousse
Where
the
birds
do
increase
Où
les
oiseaux
se
multiplient
By
the
foot
of
Mount
Leinster
Au
pied
du
mont
Leinster
Or
some
silent
place
Ou
dans
un
endroit
silencieux
By
the
streams
of
Buncloudy
Près
des
ruisseaux
de
Buncloudy
Where
all
pleasures
do
meet
Où
tous
les
plaisirs
se
rencontrent
And
all
that
I
ask
is
Et
tout
ce
que
je
demande,
c'est
One
kiss
from
you
sweet
Un
baiser
de
toi,
ma
douce
Oh
the
streams
of
Buncloudy
Oh,
les
ruisseaux
de
Buncloudy
They
flow
down
to
the
sea
Ils
coulent
vers
la
mer
By
the
streams
of
Buncloudy
Près
des
ruisseaux
de
Buncloudy
I
am
longing
to
be
J'aspire
à
être
A-drinking
stong
liquor
À
boire
de
l'alcool
fort
At
the
height
of
my
cheer
Au
plus
haut
de
ma
joie
Here′s
a
health
to
Buncloudy
Voici
à
la
santé
de
Buncloudy
And
the
lass
I
love
dear
Et
à
la
fille
que
j'aime
tant
Oh
the
cuckoo
is
a
pretty
bird
Oh,
le
coucou
est
un
bel
oiseau
And
she
sings
as
she
flies
Et
elle
chante
en
volant
She
brings
us
glad
tidings
Elle
nous
apporte
de
bonnes
nouvelles
And
she
tells
us
no
lies
Et
elle
ne
nous
ment
pas
She
sucks
all
of
the
small
birds'
eggs
Elle
aspire
tous
les
œufs
des
petits
oiseaux
Just
to
make
her
voice
clear
Juste
pour
rendre
sa
voix
claire
And
the
more
she
sings
cuckoo
Et
plus
elle
chante
coucou
The
summer
draws
near
L'été
approche
If
I
were
a
clerk
Si
j'étais
un
commis
And
I
could
write
a
good
hand
Et
que
je
pouvais
bien
écrire
I
would
write
to
my
true
love
J'écrirais
à
ma
bien-aimée
So
that
she′d
understand
Pour
qu'elle
comprenne
That
I
am
a
young
fellow
Que
je
suis
un
jeune
homme
Who
is
wounded
in
love
Qui
est
blessé
en
amour
Once
I
lived
in
Buncloudy
J'ai
vécu
à
Buncloudy
But
now
must
remove
Mais
maintenant
je
dois
partir
So
farewell
to
my
father
Alors,
adieu
à
mon
père
And
my
mother
adieu
Et
à
ma
mère,
adieu
To
my
sister
and
my
brother
À
ma
sœur
et
à
mon
frère
Farewell
unto
you
Adieu
à
vous
I
am
bound
out
for
America
Je
suis
parti
pour
l'Amérique
My
fortune
to
try
Pour
tenter
ma
chance
When
I
think
on
Buncloudy
Quand
je
pense
à
Buncloudy
I
am
ready
to
die
Je
suis
prêt
à
mourir
