The Partisan |
When they poured across the border |
I 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 children |
but 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 morning |
I’m the only one this evening |
but 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, «Signe toi,» |
mais je n’ai pas peur; |
j’ai repris mon arme. |
J’ai change' cent fois de nom, |
j’ai perdu femme et enfants |
mais j’ai tant d’amis; |
j’ai la France entie`re. |
Un vieil homme dans un grenier |
pour 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. |
