Song of the French Partis

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 (the Germans were at my home)
Ils me dirent, "Signe toi" (they said, "Sign yourself")
Mais je n'ai pas peur (but I am not afraid)
J'ai repris mon arme (I have retaken my weapon)

J'ai change' cent fois de nom (I have changed names a hundred times)
J'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)
Mais j'ai tant d'amis (but I have so many friends)
J'ai la France entie're (I have all of France)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier (an old man, in an attic)
Pour la nuit nous a cache' (hid us for the night)
Les Allemands l'ont pris (the Germans captured him)
Il est mort sans surprise (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
