Ye Auld Triangle
A hungry feeling
Came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squeeling
In my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Oh! To start the morning
The warden bawling
"Get up out of bed, you! And Clean out your cell!"
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Oh! the screw was peeping
And the loike was sleeping
As he lay weeping
For his girl Sal
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
On a fine Spring evening
The loike lay dreaming
And the sea-gulls were wheeling
High above the wall
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Oh! the wind was sighing
And the day was dying
As the loike lay crying
In his prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
In the women's prison
There are seventy women
And I wish it was with them
That I did dwell
Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
O Velho Triângulo
Uma fome danada
Veio me pegar de surpresa
E os ratos estavam chiando
Na minha cela
E aquele velho triângulo fazia barulho
Ao longo das margens do Canal Real
Oh! Pra começar a manhã
O carcereiro gritando
"Levanta dessa cama, seu! E limpa sua cela!"
E aquele velho triângulo fazia barulho
Ao longo das margens do Canal Real
Oh! o segurança estava espiando
E o cara estava dormindo
Enquanto ele chorava
Por sua garota Sal
E aquele velho triângulo fazia barulho
Ao longo das margens do Canal Real
Numa bela noite de primavera
O cara sonhava
E as gaivotas voavam
Altas acima do muro
E aquele velho triângulo fazia barulho
Ao longo das margens do Canal Real
Oh! o vento suspirava
E o dia estava acabando
Enquanto o cara chorava
Na sua cela
E aquele velho triângulo fazia barulho
Ao longo das margens do Canal Real
Na prisão feminina
Tem setenta mulheres
E eu gostaria de estar com elas
Que eu morasse
Então aquele velho triângulo poderia fazer barulho
Ao longo das margens do Canal Real
