Текст и перевод песни Luke Kelly - The Auld Triangle

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 a screw was bawling
'Get up you bowsie and clean up your cell'
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine spring evening the lag lay dreaming
The seagulls wheeling high over the wall
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The lags were sleeping, Humpy Gussy was creeping
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The wind was rising and the day declining
As I lay pining in my prison cell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the female prison there are seventy five women
'Tis among them I wish I did dwell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The day was dying and the wind was sighing
As I lay crying in my prison cell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Le Vieux Triangle

Une faim me rongeait l'âme
Et les souris piaulaient dans ma cellule
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal

Au matin, un garde criait
'Lève-toi, fainéant, et nettoie ta cellule'
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal

Un soir de printemps, le prisonnier rêvait
Les mouettes tournoyaient haut au-dessus du mur
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal

Les prisonniers dormaient, Humpy Gussy se faufilait
Alors que j'étais là, pleurant pour ma Sal
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal

Le vent se levait et le jour déclinait
Alors que j'étais là, languissant dans ma cellule
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal

Dans la prison des femmes, il y a soixante-quinze femmes
C'est parmi elles que j'aimerais bien habiter
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal

Le jour mourrait et le vent soupirait
Alors que j'étais là, pleurant dans ma cellule
Et le vieux triangle tintinnabula
Le long des rives du Royal Canal
