The Old Triangle

O Velho Triângulo

The Old Triangle

Um sentimento ávido me vem roubando
A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
Como o rato que guinchava na minha cela
As the mice were squealing in my prison cell

[Refrão:]
Chorus:
E o velho triângulo vem tilintante chacoalhando
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
Pelas margens do Canal Real
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Ao início da manhã um parafuso era batido
To begin the morning a screw was balling
Levantem seus vagabundo e limpem suas celas
Get up you bowsies and clean out your cells

[Refrão]
Chorus

Na prisão feminina haviam 62.000 mulheres e meia
In the female prison there were sixtytwo-thousand and a half women
E entre elas eu gostaria de residir
And amongst them I wish I did dwell

[Refrão]
Chorus

Eu rezo para Jesus aumentar o ordenado
I pray to Jesus he'd raise the wages
De 85 centavos para 2,10 libras
Up from eighty-five pence up to two pound and ten

[Refrão]
Chorus
