When they poured across the bordernI was cautioned to surrender,nThis I could not do;nI took my gun and vanished.nnI have changed my name so often,nI have lost my wife and childrennbut I have many friends,nand some of them are with me. nnAn old woman gave us shelter,nKept us hidden in the garret,nThen the soldiers came; nShe died without a whisper.nnThere were three of us this morning nI'm the only one this eveningnbut I must go on;nthe frontiers are my prison. nnOh, the wind, the wind is blowing, nThrough the graves the wind is blowing,nFreedom soon will come; nThen we'll come from the shadow.nnLes Allemands étaient chez moi, nIls me dirent, Resigne-toi,nMais je n'ai pas peur;nJ'ai repris mon arme. nnJ'ai changé cent fois de nom,nJ'ai perdu femme et enfantsnMais j'ai tant d'amis,nJ'ai la France entière. nnUn vieil homme dans un greniernPour la nuit nous a caché,nLes Allemands l'ont pris; nIl est mort sans surprise.nnOh, the wind, the wind is blowing,nThrough the graves the wind is blowing, nFreedom soon will come;nThen we'll come from the shadow.
