In
the
year
of
our
Lord

En

mille
huit
cent
six
We
set
sail
from
the
port

We
were

away
with

cargaison
de
briques
For
the
grand
city
hall
in
New

We'd
a
near-leaking
craft,
she
was
rigged
fore
and
aft
Notre
navire
était
presque
à
l'eau,
il
était
gréé
à
l'avant
et
à
l'arrière
And
how
the
trade
winds
drove
her
Et
comment
les
alizés
la
poussaient
She
had
twenty-three
masts
and
she
stood
several
blasts
Elle
avait
vingt-trois
mâts
et
elle
a
résisté
à
plusieurs
rafales
And
they
called
her
the
Irish
Rover

l'Irlandais
Vagabond
And
there
was
Bobby
McGee
from
the
banks
of

And
a
chap
from
Westmeath
named
Malone
Et

nommé
Malone
There
was
Slugger
O'Toole,
who
was
drunk
as
a
rule
Il
y
avait
Slugger
O'Toole,
qui
était
ivre
en
règle
générale
And
fighting
Bill
Tracy
from
Dover
Et
Bill
Tracy
le
combattant
de
Douvres
And
your
man,
Mick
McCann,
from
the
banks
of
the
Bann
Et
votre
homme,
Mick
McCann,
des
rives
du
Bann
Was
the
skipper

of

We

and

And

of
porter
Et
sept
millions
de
barils
de
porter
We
had
eight
million
sides
of
old
blind
horses'
hides
Nous
avions
huit
millions
de
peaux
de
vieux
chevaux
aveugles
In
the
hold
of
the
Irish
Rover
Dans
la
cale
de
l'Irlandais
Vagabond
We
had
sailed
seven
years
when
the
measles
broke
out
Nous
avons
navigué
pendant
sept
ans
lorsque
la
rougeole
a
éclaté
And
the
ship
lost
her
way
in
the
fog
Et
le
navire
a
perdu
son
chemin
dans
le
brouillard
And
the
whale
of
the
crew
was
reduced
down
to
two
Et
l'équipage
a
été
réduit
à
deux
'Twas
meself
and
the
captain's
old
dog
C'était
moi-même
et
le
vieux
chien
du
capitaine
Then
the
ship
struck
a
rock,
oh,
Lord
what
a
shock
Puis
le
navire
a
heurté
un
rocher,
oh,
Seigneur,
quel
choc
I
nearly
tumbled
over
J'ai
failli
tomber
par-dessus
bord
Turned
nine
times
around
and
the
poor
old
dog
was
drowned
J'ai
tourné
neuf
fois
sur
moi-même
et
le
pauvre
vieux
chien
s'est
noyé
I'm
the
last
of
the
Irish
Rover.
Je
suis
le
dernier
de
l'Irlandais
Vagabond.
