Noir Désir "The Partisan" lyrics

The Partisan

When they poured across the borderI was cautioned to surrender,this I could not do.I took my gun and vanished.I have changed my name so often,I've lost my wife and childrenbut I have many friends,and some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter,kept us hidden in the garret,then the soldiers came.she died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morningI'm the only one this eveningbut I must go on;the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,through the graves the wind is blowing,freedom soon will come;then we'll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands étaient chez moi,ils me dirent, "Résigne toi,"mais je n'ai pas peur;j'ai repris mon arme.

J'ai changé cent fois de nom,j'ai perdu femme et enfantsmais j'ai tant d'amis;j'ai la France entière.

Un vieil homme dans un grenierpour la nuit nous a caché,les Allemands l'ont pris;il est mort sans surprise.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,through the graves the wind is blowing,freedom soon will come;then we'll come from the shadows.
