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
