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 have 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 Allemandes 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 Allemandes 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.
