The Rare Auld Mountain Dew

La rare vieille Mountain Dew

Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way,

Laisse l'herbe pousser et l'eau couler librement et facilement,

But give me enough of the fine old stuff that's made near Galway Bay,

Mais donne-moi assez de la bonne vieille boisson qui est faite près de la baie de Galway,

And policemen all from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too,

Et les policiers de Donegal, Sligo et Leitrim aussi,

Oh, we'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip

Oh, nous leur ferons faux bond et nous prendrons une gorgée

Of the rare old Mountain Dew

De la rare vieille Mountain Dew

Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-um, diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still,

Au pied de la colline, il y a une petite distillerie,

Where the smoke curls up to the sky,

Où la fumée s'enroule vers le ciel,

By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell

Par la fumée et l'odeur, on peut clairement dire

That there's poitin brewin' nearby.

Qu'il y a du poitin qui mijote à proximité.

For it fills the air with odor rare,

Car il remplit l'air d'une odeur rare,

That betwixt both me and you,

Ce qui se trouve entre toi et moi,

As home we stroll, we can take a bowl,

Comme on se promène à la maison, on peut prendre un bol,

Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew

Ou un seau de la Mountain Dew

Now learned that men who use the pen,

Maintenant, j'ai appris que les hommes qui utilisent la plume,

Have wrote your praises high

Ont écrit tes louanges en hauteur

Of the sweet poitin from Ireland green,

Du doux poitin de l'Irlande verte,

Distilled from wheat and rye.

Distillé du blé et du seigle.

Put away with your pills, it'll cure all ills,

Laisse tomber tes pilules, ça va guérir tous les maux,

Be ye Pagan, Christian or Jew,

Que tu sois païen, chrétien ou juif,

So take off your coat and grease your throat

Alors enlève ton manteau et graisse ta gorge

With the rare old Mountain Dew.

Avec la rare vieille Mountain Dew.
