There beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit, and meanwhile back

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mack
In the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It’s a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And tho’ she feels as if she’s in a play
She is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.

Rwy’n caru merch o blwy’ Penderyn
ac yn ei chanlyn ers lawer dydd
ni all’swn garu ag un ferch arall
er pan gwelais r’un gron ei grudd
Mae hi’n ddigon hawdd ei gweled
er nad yw ond dyrnaid fach;
pan elo draw i rhodio’r caeau
fy nghalon claf hi wna yn iach.

I love a maid who’s from Penderrin,
been courting of her these many days;
I’d hardly fancy to love another,
not since I saw her winsome face.
I take such delight to see her,
though she’s but a tiny thing;
if she walks out across the meadow
she makes my lovesick heart to sing.

I love a maiden who’s from Penderrin,
been courting of her these many days;
I’d hardly fancy to love another,
not since I saw her bonny face.
I take such delight to see her,
though she’s but a tiny thing;
if she walks out across the meadow
she makes my lovesick heart to sing.

My first tab, but I know that it is correct. I noticed that nobody has
written this tab so I took it upon myself, mesiah like, to write it
myself. xD

A la bataille, je combattions

Les ennemis de la nation

Et tous ceux qui se présentiont

A grand coups de sabres les émondions

Le roi Louis m’a z’appelé

C’est «sans quartier» qu’il m’a nommé

Mais «sans quartier», c’est point mon nom,

J’lui dit «j’m’appelle Pelot d’Hennebont»

J’y aquiris un biaux ruban

Et je n’sais quoi au goût d’argent

Il dit boute ça sur ton habit

Et combats toujours l’ennemi

Faut qu’ce soye que’que chose de précieux

Pour que les autres m’appellent monsieur

Et foutent lou main à lou chapiau

Quand ils veulent conter au Pelot

Ma mère si j’meurs en combattant
J’vous enverrais ce biau ruban

Et vous l’boutrez à votre fusiau

En souvenir du gars Pelot

Dites à mon père, à mon cousin

A mes amis que je vais bien

Je suis leur humble serviteur

Pelot qui vous embrasse au cœur
