Lyrics
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 étaient chez moi Ils me disent, "résigne toi," Mais je n'ai pas peur; J'ai repris mon arme J'ai changé cent fois de nom J'ai perdu femme et enfants Mais j'ai tant d'amis; J'ai la france entière Un vieil homme dans un grenier Pour la nuit nous a caché Les allemands l'ont pris; Il est mort sans surprise
[The germans were at my home They said, "surrender 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
