Lyrics and translation Luke Kelly - The Auld Triangle
The Auld Triangle
Le Vieux Triangle
A
hungry
feeling
came
o'er
me
stealing
Une
faim
me
rongeait
l'âme
And
the
mice
were
squealing
in
my
prison
cell
Et
les
souris
piaulaient
dans
ma
cellule
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
To
begin
the
morning
a
screw
was
bawling
Au
matin,
un
garde
criait
'Get
up
you
bowsie
and
clean
up
your
cell'
'Lève-toi,
fainéant,
et
nettoie
ta
cellule'
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
On
a
fine
spring
evening
the
lag
lay
dreaming
Un
soir
de
printemps,
le
prisonnier
rêvait
The
seagulls
wheeling
high
over
the
wall
Les
mouettes
tournoyaient
haut
au-dessus
du
mur
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
The
lags
were
sleeping,
Humpy
Gussy
was
creeping
Les
prisonniers
dormaient,
Humpy
Gussy
se
faufilait
As
I
lay
there
weeping
for
my
girl
Sal
Alors
que
j'étais
là,
pleurant
pour
ma
Sal
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
The
wind
was
rising
and
the
day
declining
Le
vent
se
levait
et
le
jour
déclinait
As
I
lay
pining
in
my
prison
cell
Alors
que
j'étais
là,
languissant
dans
ma
cellule
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
In
the
female
prison
there
are
seventy
five
women
Dans
la
prison
des
femmes,
il
y
a
soixante-quinze
femmes
'Tis
among
them
I
wish
I
did
dwell
C'est
parmi
elles
que
j'aimerais
bien
habiter
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
The
day
was
dying
and
the
wind
was
sighing
Le
jour
mourrait
et
le
vent
soupirait
As
I
lay
crying
in
my
prison
cell
Alors
que
j'étais
là,
pleurant
dans
ma
cellule
And
the
old
triangle
went
jingle
jangle
Et
le
vieux
triangle
tintinnabula
All
along
the
banks
of
the
Royal
Canal
Le
long
des
rives
du
Royal
Canal
