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've 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 Allemands étaient chez moi, (The Germans were at my house,)
Ils me dirent "résigne toi", (They said "resign now",)
Mais je n'ai pas peur; (But I'm not afraid;)
J'ai repris mon arme. (I took my gun.)

J'ai changé cent fois de nom, (I changed my name a hundred times,)
J'ai perdu femme et enfants, (I have lost my wife and children)
Mais j'ai tant d'amis; (But I have so many friends;)
J'ai la France entiere. (I have the whole of France.)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier, (an old man in an attic,)
Pour la nuit nous a cachés, (For the night he has hidden,)
Les Allemands l'ont pris; (Ther Germans have taken;)
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.
