Le pont de Morlaix

C′est en passant sur l'pont d′Morlaix
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
La belle Hélène j'ai rencontrée
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Bien humblement j'l′ai saluée
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
D′un doux sourire ell' m′a remercié
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Mais j'ai bien vu qu′c'est charité
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Car c′est une dam' de qualité
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
C'est la fille d′un cap′taine nantais
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Á matelot ne s'ra jamais
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
J′n'étale plus, j′vas tout larguer
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
J'vas faire mon trou dans la salée
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Mat′lots, mon cœur est embrumé
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Buvons quand même à sa beauté
Haul away!
Old fellow away!

The Morlaix Bridge

It was while crossing the Morlaix bridge
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
I met the fair Helen
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
I greeted her with humility
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
With a sweet smile she thanked me
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
But I saw well that it was out of charity
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
For she is a lady of quality
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
She is the daughter of a Nantes captain
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
She can never be a sailor's
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
I'll spread no more, I'll drop everything
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
I'll dig my hole in the salt
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Sailors, my heart is foggy
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
Let's drink to her beauty anyway
Haul away!
Old fellow away!
