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
