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 e'taient chez moi,ils me dirent, "Resigne toi,"mais je n'ai pas peur;j'ai repris mon arme.
J'ai change' cent fois de nom,j'ai perdu femme et enfantsmais j'ai tant d'amis;j'ai la France entie`re.
Un vieil homme dans un grenierpour la nuit nous a cache',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.
