A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
And the mice they were squealing 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 lag 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 lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls 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 lag lay crying in his prision cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
In the female prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Uma fome chegou até mim pra me roubar
E os ratos chiavam na minha cela
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
Logo de manhã, os guardas berravam
'Levante da cama, e limpe sua cela'
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
O carcereiro espiava e o detento dormia
Pois deitou chorando por sua garota Sal
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
Numa bela tarde de primavera, o detento sonhava
E as gaivotas rodopiavam bem acima da parede
E aquele velho triângulo fazia 'jingle-jangle'
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
O vento uivava e o dia morria
Enquanto o detento deitava e chorava em sua cela
E aquele velho triângulo,fazia 'jingle-jangle'
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
Na prisão feminina há setenta mulheres
E é com elas que eu queria morar
E aquele velho triângulo, fazia 'jingle-jangle'
Ao longo das margens do Royal Canal
