When they poured across the border <br />I was cautioned to surrender, <br />this I could not do; <br />I took my gun and vanished. <br />I have changed my name so often, <br />I've lost my wife and children <br />but I have many friends, <br />and some of them are with me. <br />An old woman gave us shelter, <br />kept us hidden in the garret, <br />then the soldiers came; <br />she died without a whisper. <br />There were three of us this morning <br />I'm the only one this evening <br />but I must go on; <br />the frontiers are my prison. <br />Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, <br /><br />through the graves the wind is blowing, <br />freedom soon will come; <br />then we'll come from the shadows. <br />Les Allemands e'taient chez moi, <br />[The Germans were at my home <br />ils me dirent, "Signe toi," They said, "Sign yourself," <br />mais je n'ai pas peur; But I am not afraid <br />j'ai repris mon arme. I have retaken my weapon. <br />J'ai change' cent fois de nom, I have <br />changed names a hundred times <br />j'ai perdu femme et enfants I have <br />lost wife and children <br />mais j'ai tant d'amis; But I have so many friends <br />j'ai la France entie`re. I have all of France <br />Un vieil homme dans un grenier An old man, in an attic <br />pour la nuit nous a cache', Hid us for the night <br />les Allemands l'ont pris; The Germans captured him <br />il est mort sans surprise. He died without surprise.] <br />Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, <br />through the graves the wind is blowing, <br />freedom soon will come; <br />then we'll come from the shadows.
