The Auld Triangle

O Velho Triângulo

The Auld Triangle

Uma fome chegou até mim pra me roubar
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
E os ratos chiavam na minha cela
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Logo de manhã, os guardas berravam
Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
'Levante da cama, e limpe sua cela'
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

O carcereiro espiava e o detento dormia
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
Pois deitou chorando por sua garota Sal
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Numa bela tarde de primavera, o detento sonhava
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
E as gaivotas rodopiavam bem acima da parede
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

O vento uivava e o dia morria
Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
Enquanto o detento deitava e chorava em sua cela
As the lag lay crying in his prision cell
E aquele velho triângulo,fazia 'jingle-jangle'
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Na prisão feminina há setenta mulheres
In the female prison there are seventy women
E é com elas que eu queria morar
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
E aquele velho triângulo, fazia 'jingle-jangle'
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
