Translation
Bilingual
When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This, I could not do
I took my gun and vanished
ย
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
ย
An old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came
She died without a whisper
ย
There were three of us this morning
I am the only one this evening
But I must go on
The frontiers are my prison
ย
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
ย
Les Allemands รฉtaient chez moi
Ils me dirent "rรฉsigne-toi"
Mais je n'ai pas peur
J'ai repris mon arme
ย
J'ai changรฉ cent fois de nom
J'ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j'ai tant d'amis
J'ai la France entiรจre
Un vieil homme, dans un grenier
Pour la nuit, nous a cachรฉs
Les Allemands l'ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise
ย
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
