Lyrics and translation The Pogues - Poor Paddy On the Railway (BBC David 'Kid' Jensen Show June 21st 1984)




Poor Paddy On the Railway (BBC David 'Kid' Jensen Show June 21st 1984)
Pauvre Paddy sur le chemin de fer (BBC David 'Kid' Jensen Show 21 juin 1984)
In eighteen hundred and forty-one
En mille huit cent quarante et un
Me corduroy breeches I put on
Mes culottes de velours côtelé, je les ai enfilées
Me corduroy breeches I put on
Mes culottes de velours côtelé, je les ai enfilées
To work upon the railway, the railway
Pour travailler sur le chemin de fer, le chemin de fer
I′m weary of the railway
Je suis las du chemin de fer
Poor Paddy works on the railway
Pauvre Paddy travaille sur le chemin de fer
In eighteen hundred and forty-two
En mille huit cent quarante-deux
From Hartlepool I moved to Crewe
De Hartlepool, je suis allé à Crewe
Found meself a job to do
J'ai trouvé un travail à faire
Working on the railway
Travailler sur le chemin de fer
I was wearing corduroy breeches
Je portais des culottes de velours côtelé
Digging ditches, pulling stitches,
Creuser des fossés, tirer des points,
Dancing on the line
Danser sur la ligne
Still working on the railway
Toujours en train de travailler sur le chemin de fer
In eighteen hundred and forty-three
En mille huit cent quarante-trois
I broke me shovel across me knee
J'ai cassé ma pelle sur mon genou
And went to work for the company
Et je suis allé travailler pour la compagnie
On the Leeds to Selby railway
Sur le chemin de fer Leeds-Selby
In eighteen hundred and forty-four
En mille huit cent quarante-quatre
I landed on the Liverpool shore
J'ai débarqué sur la côte de Liverpool
Me belly was empty, me hands were raw
Mon ventre était vide, mes mains étaient rugueuses
With working on the railway, the railway
Avec le travail sur le chemin de fer, le chemin de fer
I'm sick to my guts of the railway
J'en ai assez du chemin de fer
Poor Paddy works on the railway
Pauvre Paddy travaille sur le chemin de fer
In eighteen hundred and forty-five
En mille huit cent quarante-cinq
When Daniel O′Connell he was alive
Quand Daniel O′Connell était en vie
When Daniel O'Connell he was alive
Quand Daniel O'Connell était en vie
And working on the railway
Et en train de travailler sur le chemin de fer
In eighteen hundred and forty-six
En mille huit cent quarante-six
I changed me trade to carrying bricks
J'ai changé de métier pour porter des briques
Changed me trade to carrying bricks
J'ai changé de métier pour porter des briques
Still working on the railway
Toujours en train de travailler sur le chemin de fer
In eighteen hundred and forty-seven
En mille huit cent quarante-sept
Poor Paddy was thinking of going to Heaven
Pauvre Paddy pensait aller au paradis
The old bugger was thinking of going to Heaven
Le vieux salaud pensait aller au paradis
To work upon the railway, the railway
Pour travailler sur le chemin de fer, le chemin de fer
I'm sick to my death of the railway
J'en ai assez de mourir sur le chemin de fer
Poor Paddy works on the railway
Pauvre Paddy travaille sur le chemin de fer
