The Auld Triangle

O Velho Triângulo

The Auld Triangle

Uma sensação faminta, vem me roubar
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
E os ratos estão gunichando na minha cela de prisão
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell

Para começar a manhã, a água a ferver
To begin the morning, the water boiling
Levante-se para fora da cama garoto, e limpe sua cela
Get up out of bed boy, and clean up your cell

E o velho triângulo, faz jingle jangle
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do canal real
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Em uma noite de primavera boa, o prisioneiro deita e sonha
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
E as gaivotas gritam no alto do muro
And the seagulls were squealing high above the wall

Oh o dia estava morrendo e o vento estava suspirando
Oh the day was dying and the wind was sighing
Enquanto eu estava lá chorando na minha cela de prisão
As I lay there crying in my prison cell

E o velho triângulo, faz jingle jangle
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do canal real
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh o parafuso estava apitando e o prisioneiro cochilava
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
Enquanto ele deitava ali chorando por sua pobre garota
As he lay there weeping for his poor gal

E o velho triângulo, faz jingle jangle
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do canal real
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

No presídio feminino há setenta mulheres
In the female prison there are seventy women
E eu desejo a Deus, que com elas eu gostaria de estar
And I wish to God it was with them that I did dwell

E o velho triângulo, faz jingle jangle
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do canal real
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

E o velho triângulo, faz jingle jangle
And the auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Ao longo das margens do canal real
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
