[00:13.500] When they poured across the border
[00:16.500] I was cautioned to surrender,
[00:19.500] this I could not do;
[00:23.500] I took my gun and vanished.
[00:27.500]
[00:35.500] I have changed my name so often,
[00:37.500] I've lost my wife and children
[00:41.500] but I have many friends,
[00:45.500] and some of them are with me.
[00:49.500]
[00:53.500] An old woman gave us shelter,
[00:56.500] kept us hidden in the garret,
[00:59.500] then the soldiers came;
[01:03.500] she died without a whisper.
[01:07.500]
[01:12.500] There were three of us this morning
[01:15.500] I'm the only one this evening
[01:17.500] but I must go on;
[01:22.500] the frontiers are my prison.
[01:26.500]
[01:33.500] Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
[01:37.500] through the graves the wind is blowing,
[01:39.500] freedom soon will come;
[01:44.500] then we'll come from the shadows.
[01:47.500]
[01:55.500] Les Allemands e'taient chez moi,
[01:57.500] ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"
[02:00.500] mais je n'ai pas peur;
[02:05.500] j'ai repris mon arme.
[02:12.500]
[02:16.500] J'ai change' cent fois de nom,
[02:19.500] j'ai perdu femme et enfants
[02:22.500] mais j'ai tant d'amis;
[02:27.500] j'ai la France entie.
[02:33.500]
[02:38.500] Un vieil homme dans un grenier
[02:41.500] pour la nuit nous a cache',
[02:43.500] les Allemands l'ont pris;
[02:48.500] il est mort sans surprise.
[02:56.500]
[02:59.500] Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
[03:02.500] through the graves the wind is blowing,
[03:05.500] freedom soon will come;
[03:10.500] then we'll come from the shadows.
