Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - Midnight Special
One
day,
one
day,
Sir
Un
jour,
un
jour,
mon
chéri
I
was
walking
along
Je
marchais
le
long
du
chemin
I
heard
that
special
J'ai
entendu
ce
spécial
Singing
a
lonesome
song.
Chanter
une
chanson
mélancolique.
[Chorus:]
[Refrain:]
Oh,
let
the
Midnight
Special
Oh,
que
le
Spécial
de
Minuit
Shine
her
light
on
me
Fasse
briller
sa
lumière
sur
moi
Let
the
Midnight
Special
Que
le
Spécial
de
Minuit
Shine
her
ever
lovin
light
on
me.
Fasse
briller
sa
lumière
d'amour
sur
moi.
If
you
ever
go
to
Houston
Si
tu
vas
jamais
à
Houston
You
know
you
better
walk
right
Tu
sais
que
tu
ferais
mieux
de
marcher
droit
You
know
you
better
not
stagger
Tu
sais
que
tu
ferais
mieux
de
ne
pas
tituber
You
know
you
better
not
fight
Tu
sais
que
tu
ferais
mieux
de
ne
pas
te
battre
Because
the
sheriff
will
just
arrest
you
Parce
que
le
shérif
va
juste
t'arrêter
You
know
he'll
carry
you
down
Tu
sais
qu'il
te
traînera
And
you
can
bet
your
bottom
dollar
Et
tu
peux
parier
ton
dernier
sou
Oh
Lord,
you're
penitentiary
bound.
Oh
Seigneur,
tu
es
destiné
à
la
prison.
[Chorus]
[Refrain:]
Yonder
come
little
Rosie
Voici
que
vient
la
petite
Rosie
How
in
the
world
do
you
know?
Comment
diable
le
sais-tu
?
I
can
tell
her
by
her
apron
Je
peux
la
reconnaître
à
son
tablier
And
the
dress
she
wore
Et
à
la
robe
qu'elle
porte
Umbrella
on
her
shoulder
Un
parapluie
sur
son
épaule
Piece
of
paper
in
her
hand
Un
morceau
de
papier
dans
sa
main
Goes
a
marchin
to
the
Captain
Elle
marche
vers
le
Capitaine
Says
I
want
my
man.
Et
dit
que
je
veux
mon
homme.
[Chorus]
[Refrain:]
Now
here
comes
jumpin'
Judy
Maintenant,
voici
Judy
la
sautillante
I'll
tell
you
how
I
know
Je
vais
te
dire
comment
je
sais
You
know,
Judy
brought
jumpin'
Tu
sais,
Judy
a
apporté
le
saut
To
the
whole
wide
world
Dans
le
monde
entier
She
brought
it
in
the
morning
Elle
l'a
apporté
le
matin
Just
about
the
break
of
day
Juste
au
moment
du
lever
du
jour
You
know,
if
I
ever
get
to
jumpin'
Tu
sais,
si
j'arrive
jamais
à
sauter
Oh
Lord,
I'll
up
and
jump
away.
Oh
Seigneur,
je
vais
me
mettre
à
sauter
et
m'enfuir.
[Chorus]
[Refrain:]
