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 etaient chez moi
Ils me disent, resigne you,
But I'm not afraid
I took my gun back
I changed my name a hundred times
I lost my wife and children
But I have so many friends
I have the whole of France
An old man in an attic
For the night hid us
The Germans took him
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 shadow
