The Partisan lyrics

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 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 enfants
mais j'ai tant d'amis;
j'ai la France entière.
 
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour 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.
