Lyrics and translation Ruby Murray - Dear Old Donegal (Live Version)




Dear Old Donegal (Live Version)
Cher vieux Donegal (Version live)
It seems like only yesterday
Il y a comme un air d'hier
I sailed from out of Cork
Quand je quittais Cork et ses quais
A wanderer from Erin′s isle
Vagabonde venue d'Irlande
I landed in New York
J'ai débarqué à New York
There wasn't a soul to greet me there
Nulle âme pour m'y accueillir
A stranger on your shore
Étrangère sur ton rivage
But Irish luck was with me here
Mais avec moi la chance irlandaise
And riches came galore
Et la fortune à foison
And now that I′m going back again
Et maintenant que je repars
To dear old Erin's isle
Pour ma verte Erin là-bas
My friends will meet me on the pier
Mes amis m'attendront sur le quai
And greet me with a smile
Et me souriront
Their faces, sure, I've almost forgot
Leurs visages, je les ai presque oubliés
I′ve been so long away
Je suis partie si longtemps
But me mother will introduce them all
Mais ma mère me les présentera
And this to me will say
Et me dira ceci
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, Colleen
Serre la main de ton oncle Mike, ma belle
And here is your sister, Kate
Et voici ta sœur, Kate
And there′s the boy you used to swing
Et là, c'est le garçon avec qui
Down by the garden gate
Tu te balançais au jardin
Shake hands with all of the neighbours
Salue tous les voisins
And kiss the fellas all
Et embrasse tous les gars
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
Tu es la bienvenue comme les fleurs de mai
To dear old Donnegal
Dans mon cher vieux Donegal
They′ll give a party when I go home
Ils organiseront une fête pour mon retour
They'll come from near and far
Ils viendront de loin et de près
They′ll line the roads for miles and miles
Ils longeront les routes sur des kilomètres
With Irish jauntin' cars
Dans des calèches irlandaises
The spirits′ll flow like buttermilk
L'alcool coulera à flots
Like you've never seen
Comme tu n'en as jamais vu
And the piper'll play an Irish reel
Et le joueur de cornemuse jouera un air irlandais
To greet the Yankee Colleen
Pour saluer la Yankee
We′ll dance and sing the whole night long
Nous danserons et chanterons toute la nuit
Till twilights never seen
Jusqu'à ce que l'aube ne paraisse pas
The lads′ll be decked in corduroy
Les hommes seront habillés de velours côtelé
The colleens wearin' green
Les filles porteront du vert
There′ll be thousands there that I never saw
Il y aura des milliers de personnes que je n'ai jamais vues
I've been so long away
Je suis partie si longtemps
But me mother will introduce them all
Mais ma mère me les présentera
And this to me will say
Et me dira ceci
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, Colleen
Serre la main de ton oncle Mike, ma belle
And here is your sister, Kate
Et voici ta sœur, Kate
And there′s the boy you used to swing
Et là, c'est le garçon avec qui
Down by the garden gate
Tu te balançais au jardin
Shake hands with all of the neighbors
Salue tous les voisins
And kiss the fellas all
Et embrasse tous les gars
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
Tu es la bienvenue comme les fleurs de mai
To dear old Donnegal
Dans mon cher vieux Donegal
