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.

Sooner or later, one way or another, we are all partisans in the 21st century.
