Lyrics and translation The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem - Ballinderry

Ballinderry

Tis pretty to be in Ballinderry,

C'est agréable d'être à Ballinderry,

Pretty to be in Aucholee

Agréable d'être à Aucholee

'Tis prettier to be on bonny Ram's Island

C'est plus agréable d'être sur la belle île de Ram

A-sitting forever beneath a tree.

Assise à jamais sous un arbre.

Ochone, ochone

For often I sailed to bonny Ram's Island,

Car souvent j'ai navigué vers la belle île de Ram,

Arm in arm with Phelim, my demon

Bras dessus bras dessous avec Phelim, mon démon

He would whistle and I would sing,

Il sifflait et je chantais,

And we would make the whole island ring.

Et nous faisions vibrer toute l'île.

Ochone, ochone

"I'm going," he said, "from bonny Ram's Island

“Je pars,” dit-il, “de la belle île de Ram

Out and across the deep blue sea,

Au loin, à travers la mer bleue profonde,

And if in your heart you love me, Mary,

Et si tu m'aimes dans ton cœur, Mary,

Open your arms at last to me."

Ouvre-moi enfin tes bras.”

Ochone, ochone

'Twas pretty to be in Ballinderry

C'était agréable d'être à Ballinderry

But now it's as sad as sad can be,

Mais maintenant c'est aussi triste que possible,

For the ship that sailed with Phelim, my demon,

Car le navire qui a navigué avec Phelim, mon démon,

Is sunk forever beneath the sea.

Est à jamais englouti sous la mer.

Ochone, ochone
