Lyrics - The Partisan by Cohen Leonard

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 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 morning
I'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, [
The
Germans were at my homeils me dirent, "
Signe toi,"
They said, "
Sign yourself,"mais je n'ai pas peur;
But
I am not afraidj'ai repris mon arme.
I have retaken my weapon.
J'ai change' cent fois de nom,
I have changed names a hundred timesj'ai perdu femme et enfants
I have lost wife and childrenmais j'ai tant d'amis;
But
I have so many friendsj'ai la
France entie`re.
I have all of
France
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
An old man, in an atticpour la nuit nous a cache',
Hid us for the nightles
Allemands l'ont pris;
The
Germans captured himil est mort sans surprise.
He died without 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.
