Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - Hayseed Like Me
I
once
was
a
tool
of
opression
J'étais
autrefois
un
outil
d'oppression
As
green
as
a
sucker
could
be
Aussi
naïf
qu'un
pigeon
pouvait
l'être
And
monopolies
banded
together
Et
les
monopoles
se
sont
alliés
To
beat
a
poor
hayseed
like
me
Pour
battre
un
pauvre
paysan
comme
moi
The
railroads
and
the
old
party
bosses
Les
chemins
de
fer
et
les
vieux
chefs
de
parti
Together
did
sweetly
agree
Ensemble,
ils
se
sont
mis
d'accord
They
thought
there
would
be
little
trouble
Ils
pensaient
qu'il
n'y
aurait
pas
de
problèmes
In
workin'
a
hayseed
like
me
À
manipuler
un
paysan
comme
moi
In
workin'
a
hayseed
like
me
À
manipuler
un
paysan
comme
moi
In
workin'
a
hayseed
like
me
À
manipuler
un
paysan
comme
moi
They
thought
there
would
be
little
trouble
Ils
pensaient
qu'il
n'y
aurait
pas
de
problèmes
In
workin'
a
hayseed
like
me
À
manipuler
un
paysan
comme
moi
But
now
I've
roused
up
a
little
Mais
maintenant,
j'ai
un
peu
de
réveil
Their
greed
and
corruption
I
see
Je
vois
leur
avidité
et
leur
corruption
And
the
ticket
we
vote
next
November
Et
le
billet
que
nous
voterons
en
novembre
prochain
Will
be
made
up
of
hayseeds
like
me
Sera
composé
de
paysans
comme
moi
Will
be
made
up
of
hayseeds
like
me
Sera
