Текст и перевод песни Christy Moore - The Auld Triangle

The Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling came o' er me stealing
And the mice were sqealing in my prison cell
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle along the
Banks of the Royal Canal

To start the morning the screw was bawling get up ye
Bowsie and clean up your cell

And the auld triangle went jingle jangle along the
Banks of the Royal Canal

The screw was peeping Skinner Mac was sleeping and he
Was dreaming of his girl Sal

And the auld triangle went jingle jangle along the
Banks of the Royal Canal

The moon was shining the sun declining Skinner Mac was
Pining in his prison cell
And the auld triangle went jingle jangle along the
Banks of the Royal Canal.

In the female prison there lie seventy women and it's
In there with them that I'd like to dwell

And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Le Vieux Triangle

Une faim me tenaillait, me rongeait
Et les souris piaillaient dans ma cellule
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula le long des
Berges du Canal Royal

Pour commencer la journée, le geôlier hurlait :« Lève-toi,
Pauvre type, et nettoie ta cellule !»

Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula le long des
Berges du Canal Royal

Le geôlier observait, Skinner Mac dormait, il
Rêvait de sa petite Sal

Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula le long des
Berges du Canal Royal

La lune brillait, le soleil déclinait, Skinner Mac était
En proie au chagrin dans sa cellule
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula le long des
Berges du Canal Royal.

Dans la prison pour femmes, il y a soixante-dix femmes, et c'est
Là-bas, avec elles, que j'aimerais rester

Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des berges du Canal Royal
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des berges du Canal Royal
