The Partisan Lyrics
(Leonard Cohen)When they poured across the borderI 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 childrenbut 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 morningI'm the only one this eveningbut 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,ils me dirent, "Résigne toi,"mais je n'ai pas peur;j'ai repris mon âme.[The Germans were at my homeThey said, "Sign yourself,"But I am not afraidI have retaken my soul.]J'ai change' cent fois de nom,j'ai perdu femme et enfantsmais j'ai tant d'amis;j'ai la France entie're.[I've changed names a hundred timesI have lost wife and childrenBut I have so many friendsI have all of France]Un vieil homme dans un grenierpour la nuit nous a cache',les Allemands l'ont pris;il est mort sans surprise.[An old man, in an atticHid us for the nightThe Germans captured himHe 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.
