The Ballad Of Ronnie Drew (feat. The Dubliners, A Band Of Bowies, Kila) (La Ballade De Ronnie Drew)

.

Here's to the Ronnie, the voice we adore
A la tienne, Ronnie Drew.
Like coals from a coal-bucket, scraping the floor
Et comme d'habitude, les conso' sont pour Ronnie
Sing out his praises in music and march

And if you are not Irish, that isn't your fault
Pour Ronnie, la voix qu'on vénére

Comme la houille d'un seau à charbon posé sur le sol
Raise up our voices like guards in a pack
Crions ses louanges en musique et en malt
Thankful for honest man, we never lack
Si tu n'es pas Irlandais, et bien ce n'est pas de ta faute !
We got them by twenties, we got them by ones

Their men, their daughters, and all of their sons
Elevons nos voix comme des chiens dans une meutes

Notre gratitude pour un homme honnête que nous n'oublierons pas
(Hey! Hey!)
On en a par douzaines, on en a à l'unité

Eux et leurs filles et tous leurs fils
Chorus:

Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)
A la tienne, Ronnie Drew
Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)
A la tienne, Ronnie Drew
Ronnie Drew (Hey! Hey!), we love you, yes we do
Ronnie Drew, on t'aime, ouais on t'aime
Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you
A la tienne, Ronnie Drew, a la tienne

I watched them plenty, through right and 'er wrong
Et qu'est ce qui appartient à un homme ou non
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm sure
Si je suis aisé ou si je suis vrai
But as she lifted her petticoat easy and slow
La façon dont j'ai acquis le code, doucement mais surement
I rolled up my sleeves for the bottle hard shoot
Et j'ai fixé ma bourse pour lasser sa chaussure

Get up and work from five until five

When the whistle says better, we'll come back alive

He'll sing to the heavens, he's stormy as hell

And wherever he goes, we'll be wishing him well

(Hey! Hey!)

Chorus:

Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)

(Hey!) Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)

Ronnie Drew (Hey!), we love you, yes we do

Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you

The dawn and the dusk, the unwise, the undusk gives and gets him gaze

The unheard, the unseen, the unwashed, and the clean where the streets are handmade

Baggot Street, meets the street right on St. Stephen's Street lovers and loners who can peer on your shoulders

The gods and the rapers, immigrants and traders, sing about him

A man for a man and a hand for a hand

Trust in the music, strike up the band

The more that we sing, the less that we find

Time and again, this is brood to be right

Build you a statue on St. Stephen's Green

No fair or monument there to be seen

A statue of Ronnie Drew, holding the hand

Of a girl with her hair in a black velvet band

(Hey! Hey!)

Here's to you (No stranger to dare), Ronnie Drew (Or angels to devil)

Here's to you (A friend of a friend of a friend of a), Ronnie Drew (A friend to you)

Ronnie Drew (Ronnie Drew), we love you, yes we do

Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you

Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you (Ronnie Drew)

I watched them plenty, through right and 'er wrong

Whether I'm easy or whether I'm sure

But as she lifted her petticoat easy and slow

I rolled up my sleeves for the bottle hard shoot
