Nous étions quelques volontaires, combattants de l'I.R.A.
Un matin nous reçûmes l'ordre de nous rendre à Drumbar
Mais comment faire pour y aller, comment trouver une auto ?
Hors de question de prendre le train en tenue commando !
J'ai dit à mon copain Barney "Tu n'as pas à t'en faire
Tu connais le vieux Johnston, protestant, loyaliste
Envoyons-lui un télégramme pour une bonne affaire
Il est si avide et tellement rat qu'il arrivera de suite
C'est le patron des concessions Johnston's Motor Car
Il a des garages partout, des voitures à la pelle
S'il flaire le bon coup, s'il sent l'odeur des dollars
Alors, pour se rendre au rendez-vous il prendra la plus belle"
Mister Johnston reçut l'info et partit aussitôt
Mit sur sa poitrine une étoile, son chapeau de castor
Puis au volant d'une bagnole rutilante et costaud
Il fonça vers ce qu'il pensait être une affaire en or
Lorsqu'il arriva à la voie ferrée, il vit les insurgés
Il comprit alors qu'il avait été piégé comme un bleu
"J'ai un permis pour voyager aussi loin que je veux"
"Ton permis anglais tu peux t' le fourrer, nous on veut ton auto"
"Mais que vont penser mes fidèles amis orangistes ?
Ma voiture réquisitionnée par des rebelles, c'est pas rien !"
"On va te donner un reçu signé du cap'taine Willys
Et quand l'Irlande sera libre, tu récupèreras ton bien"
Nous avons rembarqué les hommes, les fusils, les bardas
Brandi un drapeau du Sinn Fein dans la lumière du soir
Avons crié trois fois "hourra" pour les gars de l'I.R.A.
Et surtout pour les belles bagnoles de Johnston's Motor Car

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
