Lyrics and translation Public Service Broadcasting - The Unsinkable Ship

The Unsinkable Ship

When I was a wee boy growing up in Belfast
My father was working in the shipyard
And he kept telling me about this great ship
That he was having to build
One Sunday he took me down to the shipyard
And he told me to look up

It was a huge piece of steel
It seemed to reach the sky, it was so high
And there seemed to be no end of it, it was so long
In Belfast we called it, ′The Unsinkable Ship'

We called it ′The Unsinkable Ship'

Le navire inscoulable

Quand j'étais un petit garçon qui grandissait à Belfast
Mon père travaillait au chantier naval
Et il ne cessait de me parler de ce grand navire
Qu'il devait construire
Un dimanche, il m'a emmené au chantier naval
Et il m'a dit de lever les yeux

C'était un énorme morceau d'acier
Il semblait atteindre le ciel, tellement il était haut
Et il semblait n'avoir aucune fin, tellement il était long
A Belfast, on l'appelait "Le navire inscoulable"

On l'appelait "Le navire inscoulable"
