The Partisan Lyrics

Leonard Cohen

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 shadow
Les allemands e'taient chez moi Ils me dirent, "signe toi" Mais je n'ai pas peur J'ai repris mon âme
J'ai change' cent fois de nom J'ai perdu femme et enfants Mais j'ai tant d'amis J'ai la france entie`re
Un vieil homme dans un grenier Pour la nuit nous a cache' Les allemands l'ont pris Il est mort sans 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 shadow
