1
When they poured across the border
2
I was cautioned to surrender,
3
this I could not do;
4
I took my gun and vanished.
5
I have changed my name so often,
6
I've lost my wife and children
7
but I have many friends,
8
and some of them are with me.
9
An old woman gave us shelter,
10
Kept us hidden in the garret,
11
then the soldiers came;
12
she died without a whisper.
13
There were three of us this morning
14
I'm the only one this evening
15
but I must go on;
16
the frontiers are my prison.
17
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
18
through the graves the wind is blowing,
19
freedom soon will come;
20
then we'll come from the shadows.
21
Les Allemands étaient chez moi,
22
ils me dirent, "Résigne toi,"
23
mais je 'ai pas peur;
24
j'ai repris mon âme.
25
[The Germans were at my home
26
They said, "Sign yourself,"
27
But I am not afraid
28
I have retaken my soul.]
29
J'ai changé cent fois de nom,
30
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
31
mais j'ai tant d'amis;
32
j'ai la France entière.
33
[I've changed names a hundred times
34
I have lost wife and children
35
But I have so many friends
36
I have all of France]
37
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
38
pour la nuit nous a caché,
39
les Allemands l'ont pris;
40
il est mort sans surprise.
41
[An old man, in an attic
42
Hid us for the night
43
The Germans captured him
44
He died without surprise.]
45
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
46
through the graves the wind is blowing,
47
freedom soon will come;
48
then we'll come from the shadows.
