The Auld Triangle - The High Kings translation in French

The Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

To begin the morning the screw was bawling
"Get up, ya bowsie, and clean up your cell"
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

The screw was peeping, Humpy Gussy was sleeping
As I lay there dreaming of my girl, Sal
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

Up in the female prison there are seventy-five women
And 'tis among them I wish I did dwell
Then the old triangle could go jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
All along the banks of the royal canal

Le Vieux Triangle

Une faim me rongeait
Et les souris piaillaient dans ma cellule
Et le vieux triangle faisait jingle jangle
Le long des rives du canal royal

Au petit matin, le geôlier hurlait
"Lève-toi, paresseux, et nettoie ta cellule"
Et le vieux triangle faisait jingle jangle
Le long des rives du canal royal

Le geôlier surveillait, Humpy Gussy dormait
Alors que je rêvais de ma chérie, Sal
Et le vieux triangle faisait jingle jangle
Le long des rives du canal royal

Dans la prison des femmes, il y a soixante-quinze femmes
Et j'aimerais tant être parmi elles
Alors le vieux triangle pourrait faire jingle jangle
Le long des rives du canal royal
Le long des rives du canal royal
