The Partisan Songtext
von El Comunero

(Reprise d′une chanson de Leonard Cohen)

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
J′ai la France entière

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
Frontiers are my prison


Oh the wind the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
We'll come from these shadows
Les Allemands étaient chez moi
On m′a dit résigne-toi
Mais je n′ai pas pu
J'ai repris mon arme

Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a cachés
Les Allemands l′ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise

J'ai changé cent fois de nom
J′ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j'ai tant d′amis
J'ai la France entière

Personne ne m'a demandé
D′où je viens ni où je vais
Vous qui le savez
Effacez mon passage

Oh the wind the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we′ll come from the shadow
