Lyrics and translation Santiano - Whiskey In the Jar

Whiskey In the Jar

As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny blew me charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

'T was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey in the jar
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey in the jar

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Du whiskey dans le bocal

Alors que j'allais dans les fameuses montagnes de Kerry
J'ai rencontré le capitaine Farrell qui comptait son argent
J'ai d'abord sorti mon pistolet, puis mon rapière
En disant "Arrête-toi et rends-toi", car il était un audacieux trompeur

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal

J'ai compté son argent, et c'était une belle somme
Je l'ai mis dans ma poche et je l'ai emporté à Jenny
Elle a soupiré et juré qu'elle ne me tromperait jamais
Mais que le diable emporte les femmes, car elles ne sont jamais faciles

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal

Je suis monté dans ma chambre pour dormir
J'ai rêvé d'or et de bijoux, et ce n'était pas étonnant
Mais Jenny a chargé mes pistolets et les a remplis d'eau
Puis elle a envoyé chercher le capitaine Farrell, prêt pour le massacre

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal

C'était tôt le matin, juste avant que je ne me lève pour voyager
Une bande de soldats est arrivée, ainsi que le capitaine Farrell
J'ai d'abord sorti mon pistolet, car elle avait volé mon rapière
Je ne pouvais pas tirer l'eau, alors j'ai été fait prisonnier

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal

Certains aiment le roulement des calèches
D'autres aiment le lancer et le bowling
Mais moi, j'aime le jus de l'orge
Et courtiser de jolies demoiselles au petit matin

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey dans le bocal
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey dans le bocal

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
Il y a du whiskey dans le bocal
