Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - If You Miss Me At The Back Of The Bus

If You Miss Me At The Back Of The Bus

If you miss me at the back of the bus, and you can't find me nowhere.
Come on up to the front of the bus, I'll be sittin' right there.
I'll be sittin' right there,
I'll be sittin' right there.
Come on up to the front of the bus,
I'll be sittin' right there.
If you miss me at the Mississippi River, and you can't find me nowhere.
Come on over to the swimmin' pool, I'll be swimmin' over there.
I'll be swimmin' over there,
I'll be swimmin' over there.
Come on over to the swimmin' pool,
I'll be swimmin' over there.
If you miss me at Jackson State, and you can't find me nowhere.
Come on over to Old Miss, I'll be learnin' right there.
I'll be learnin' right there,
I'll be learnin' right there.
Come on over to Old Miss,
I'll be learnin' right there.
If you miss me at the picket lines, and you can't find me nowhere.
Come on down, to the jailhouse, I'll be roomin' over there.
I'll be roomin' over there,
I'll be roomin' over there.
Come on down to the jailhouse,
I'll be roomin' over there.
If you miss me at the cotton fields, and you can't find me nowhere.
Come on down to the court house, I'll be votin' right there.
I'll be votin' right there,
I'll be votin' right there.
Come on down to the courthouse,
I'll be votin' right there.
If you miss me at the back of the bus, and you can't find me nowhere.
Come on up to the front of the bus, I'll be sittin' up there.
I'll be sittin' up there,
I'll be sittin' up there.
Come on up to the front of the bus,
I'll be sitting' up there

Si tu me cherches à l'arrière du bus

Si tu me cherches à l'arrière du bus, et que tu ne me trouves nulle part.
Viens à l'avant du bus, je serai assis juste là.
Je serai assis juste là,
Je serai assis juste là.
Viens à l'avant du bus,
Je serai assis juste là.
Si tu me cherches au bord du fleuve Mississippi, et que tu ne me trouves nulle part.
Viens à la piscine, je nagerai là-bas.
Je nagerai là-bas,
Je nagerai là-bas.
Viens à la piscine,
Je nagerai là-bas.
Si tu me cherches à Jackson State, et que tu ne me trouves nulle part.
Viens à Old Miss, j'apprends là-bas.
J'apprends là-bas,
J'apprends là-bas.
Viens à Old Miss,
J'apprends là-bas.
Si tu me cherches dans les piquets de grève, et que tu ne me trouves nulle part.
Viens à la prison, je serai là-bas.
Je serai là-bas,
Je serai là-bas.
Viens à la prison,
Je serai là-bas.
Si tu me cherches dans les champs de coton, et que tu ne me trouves nulle part.
Viens au palais de justice, je voterai là-bas.
Je voterai là-bas,
Je voterai là-bas.
Viens au palais de justice,
Je voterai là-bas.
Si tu me cherches à l'arrière du bus, et que tu ne me trouves nulle part.
Viens à l'avant du bus, je serai assis là-haut.
Je serai assis là-haut,
Je serai assis là-haut.
Viens à l'avant du bus,
Je serai assis là-haut.
