THE PARTISAN
Paroles: Hy Zaret, adapte d'Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigérie (dit "Bernard"), musique: Anna Marly

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.
