[00:14]when they poured across the border
[00:17]i was cautioned to surrender,
[00:20]this i could not do;
[00:24]i took my gun and vanished.
[00:28]
[00:36]i have changed my name so often,
[00:38]i’ve lost my wife and children
[00:42]but i have many friends,
[00:46]and some of them are with me.
[00:50]
[00:54]an old woman gave us shelter,
[00:57]kept us hidden in the garret,
[01:00]then the soldiers came;
[01:04]she died without a whisper.
[01:08]
[01:13]there were three of us this morning
[01:16]i’m the only one this evening
[01:18]but i must go on;
[01:23]the frontiers are my prison.
[01:27]
[01:34]oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
[01:38]through the graves the wind is blowing,
[01:40]freedom soon will come;
[01:45]then we’ll come from the shadows.

[01:56]les allemands e’taient chez moi,
[01:58]ils me dirent, \"signe toi,\"
[02:01]mais je n’ai pas peur;
[02:06]j’ai repris mon arme.
[02:13]
[02:17]j’ai change’ cent fois de nom,
[02:20]j’ai perdu femme et enfants
[02:23]mais j’ai tant d’amis;
[02:28]j’ai la france enti鑢e.
[02:34]
[02:39]un vieil homme dans un grenier
[02:42]pour la nuit nous a cache’,
[02:44]les allemands l’ont pris;
[02:49]il est mort sans surprise.
[02:57]
[03:00]oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
[03:03]through the graves the wind is blowing,
[03:06]freedom soon will come;
[03:11]then we’ll come from the shadows.
