Jael Caerdydd (English Translation)

Farewell to the children and the beer
Farwell to smoking the pipe
I'll have to go
In an hour to Cardiff Jail


And the policeman was yelling “To the wheel to the wheel”
And the policeman was yelling “To the wheel"
And I'll have to go
In less than twenty minutes
To lie on my rear
In the jail in Cardiff

I had a lovely supper in the jail in Cardiff
I had a lovely supper in Cardiff
Old dry crust
And without crying
That I am a sinner
In the jail in Cardiff

CHORUS
In the jail in Cardiff, in the jail in Cardiff
Pilferers and thieves, murderers and me
In the jail in Cardiff, in the jail in Cardiff
I won't go back to the jail in Cardiff

I had a hard bed in the jail in Cardiff
I had a hard bed in Cardiff
Some big oak planks
And those full of branches
That bruise my ribs
In The jail in Cardiff

CHORUS

You little boys of Wales come forward! Come forward!
You little boys of Wales come forward!
And don't spend your money
To pay the old policeman
To worry about my back
In the jail in Cardiff

CHORUS
