The Auld Triangle

A hungry feeling came oer me stealing
飢餓催生了盜竊的念頭
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
老鼠在牢房中窸窣作響
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
古舊的三角鐵聲音響起
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
一直傳到皇家運河之畔
To begin the morning a screw was bawling
一大早獄卒就叫囂著
“Get up you bowsie and clean up your cell”
“起來吧賤民們，清理好你們的牢房”
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
古老的三角鐵依舊作響著
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
聲音迴盪在皇家運河之畔
The lags were sleeping
囚犯們已然睡著
Humpy Gussy was creeping
科內魯·吉斯偷窺著
As I lay there weeping for my girl Sal
當我正在獄中為我的女孩啜泣之時
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
然而老舊的三角鐵依舊作響
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
聲響籠罩著皇家運河岸旁
Up in the female prison
甚至傳到了女子監獄
There are seventy-five women
那兒有七十五名女囚徒
And tis among them
它就這麼迴響在她們中間
I wish I did dwell
我希望我仍能存活於世
Then the old triangle could go jingle jangle
讓這古老的三角鐵繼續作響著
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
一直傳到那皇家運河岸邊
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
在河畔上經久不息，餘音裊裊，不絕於耳
