[00:13.50] When they poured across the border
[00:16.50] I was cautioned to surrender,
[00:19.50] this I could not do;
[00:23.50] I took my gun and vanished.
[00:27.50]
[00:35.50] I have changed my name so often,
[00:37.50] I've lost my wife and children
[00:41.50] but I have many friends,
[00:45.50] and some of them are with me.
[00:49.50]
[00:53.50] An old woman gave us shelter,
[00:56.50] kept us hidden in the garret,
[00:59.50] then the soldiers came;
[01:03.50] she died without a whisper.
[01:07.50]
[01:12.50] There were three of us this morning
[01:15.50] I'm the only one this evening
[01:17.50] but I must go on;
[01:22.50] the frontiers are my prison.
[01:26.50]
[01:33.50] Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
[01:37.50] through the graves the wind is blowing,
[01:39.50] freedom soon will come;
[01:44.50] then we'll come from the shadows.
[01:47.50]
[01:55.50] Les Allemands e'taient chez moi,
[01:57.50] ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"
[02:00.50] mais je n'ai pas peur;
[02:05.50] j'ai repris mon arme.
[02:12.50]
[02:16.50] J'ai change' cent fois de nom,
[02:19.50] j'ai perdu femme et enfants
[02:22.50] mais j'ai tant d'amis;
[02:27.50] j'ai la France enti鑢e.
[02:33.50]
[02:38.50] Un vieil homme dans un grenier
[02:41.50] pour la nuit nous a cache',
[02:43.50] les Allemands l'ont pris;
[02:48.50] il est mort sans surprise.
[02:56.50]
[02:59.50] Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
[03:02.50] through the graves the wind is blowing,
[03:05.50] freedom soon will come;
[03:10.50] then we'll come from the shadows.
