Lyrics and translation Ronnie Drew - The Auld Triangle




The Auld Triangle
Le vieux triangle
A hungry feeling
Une faim affreuse
Came o'er me stealing
S'est emparée de moi
And the mice were squealing
Et les souris couinaient
In my prison cell
Dans ma cellule
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
Et ce vieux triangle tintintait
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des berges du canal royal
To begin the morning
Pour commencer la journée
The screw was bawling
Le geôlier hurlait
"Get up ya loser and clean up your cell!"
« Lève-toi, fainéant, et nettoie ta cellule
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
Et ce vieux triangle tintintait
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des berges du canal royal
Now the screw was peeping
Le geôlier scrutait
As the lag lay sleeping
Alors que le détenu dormait
Dreaming about his girl Sal
Rêvant de sa bien-aimée Sal
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
Et ce vieux triangle tintintait
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des berges du canal royal
Oh! the wind was rising
Oh ! Le vent se levait
And the day declining
Et le jour déclinait
As a lady, I'm praying
Tandis qu'une femme priait
In my prison cell
Dans sa cellule
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
Et ce vieux triangle tintintait
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des berges du canal royal
In the female prison
Dans la prison pour femmes
There are 75 women
Il y a 75 femmes
And among them now, I wish I did dwell
Et parmi elles, je souhaiterais maintenant que tu sois
Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
Alors ce vieux triangle pourrait tintinnabuler
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Le long des berges du canal royal
