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. [the germans were at my home They said, sign yourself, But I am not afraid I have retaken my weapon.I have changed names a hundred times I have lost wife and children But I have so many friends I have all of france An old man, in an attic Hid us for the night The germans captured him 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.
