Rambling Paddy - The Irish Rovers translation in French

Rambling Paddy

Rambling Paddy it's time to come home
And stop all your rambling around
You haven't a job and you haven't a plan
It's time you were settling down
I haven't a job but I work when I want
I'm free as a bird on the wing
I sing for me supper and fiddle some tunes
Sure I wouldn't go changing a thing

Da rowdely dowdley tithery eye diddle dum
Rowdely dowdley toor in a nay
Rowdely dowdley tithery eye diddle dum
Whack fol the diddly da day

Rambling Paddy come down from the hills
It's time you were changing your life
Give over your roving and rambling ways
And look for a comely wee wife
If I looked for a wife sure I never would find
A one who would ramble with me
With me horse and me dog and ould caravan
We're happy as any can be

Da rowdely dowdley tithery eye diddle dum
Rowdely dowdley toor in a nay
Rowdely dowdley tithery eye diddle dum
Whack fol the diddly da day

Rambling Paddy you're mad as they come
I think you've gone soft in the head
You haven't the sense to come out of the rain
And a bundle of hay is your bed
Maybe you're right and maybe you're wrong
And maybe I'm mad as can be
Or maybe I'm wiser than anyone else
For being the master of me

Le vagabond Paddy

Paddy le vagabond, il est temps de rentrer,
Et d'arrêter tes errances incessantes.
Tu n'as pas de travail, tu n'as pas de plan,
Il est temps que tu te poses, ma belle.
Je n'ai pas de travail, mais je travaille quand j'en ai envie,
Je suis libre comme l'oiseau, je prends mon envol.
Je chante pour mon souper et je joue quelques airs de violon,
Je n'y changerais rien du tout, crois-moi.

Paddy le vagabond, descends de ces collines,
Il est temps de changer de vie, ma jolie.
Abandonne tes vagabondages et tes errances,
Et cherche une gentille petite femme.
Si je cherchais une femme, je n'en trouverais jamais
Une qui voudrait errer avec moi.
Avec mon cheval, mon chien et ma vieille caravane,
Nous sommes aussi heureux que possible, tu sais.

Paddy le vagabond, tu es fou à lier,
Je pense que tu as perdu la tête, ma chère.
Tu n'as pas le bon sens de t'abriter de la pluie,
Et une botte de foin te sert de lit.
Peut-être que tu as raison, peut-être que tu as tort,
Et peut-être que je suis fou à lier aussi.
Ou peut-être suis-je plus sage que quiconque,
Car je suis mon propre maître, vois-tu.
