Lyrics and translation The Clancy Brothers - Kevin Barry
In
Mountjoy
jail
one
Monday
morning
Dans
la
prison
de
Mountjoy,
un
lundi
matin
High
upon
the
gallows
tree
Haut
sur
la
potence
Kevin
Barry
gave
his
young
life
Kevin
Barry
a
donné
sa
jeune
vie
For
the
cause
of
liberty
Pour
la
cause
de
la
liberté
But
a
lad
of
eighteen
summers
Un
garçon
de
dix-huit
ans
à
peine
Yet
no
true
man
can
deny
Mais
aucun
vrai
homme
ne
peut
le
nier
As
he
walked
to
death
that
morning
Comme
il
marchait
vers
la
mort
ce
matin
He
proudly
held
his
head
on
high
Il
tenait
fièrement
la
tête
haute
Another
martyr
for
old
Erin
Un
autre
martyr
pour
la
vieille
Erin
Another
murder
for
the
crown
Un
autre
meurtre
pour
la
couronne
The
British
laws
may
crush
the
Irish
Les
lois
britanniques
peuvent
écraser
les
Irlandais
But
cannot
keep
their
spirits
down
Mais
ne
peuvent
pas
éteindre
leur
esprit
Just
before
he
faced
the
hangman
Juste
avant
d'affronter
le
bourreau
In
his
dreary
prison
cell
Dans
sa
cellule
de
prison
lugubre
The
British
soldiers
tortured
Barry
Les
soldats
britanniques
ont
torturé
Barry
Just
because
he
would
not
tell
Juste
parce
qu'il
ne
voulait
pas
parler
The
names
of
all
his
brave
companions
Les
noms
de
tous
ses
braves
compagnons
And
other
things
they
wished
to
know
Et
d'autres
choses
qu'ils
voulaient
savoir
Turn
informer
or
we'll
kill
you
Deviens
informateur
ou
nous
te
tuerons
