LYRICS:
When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
I took my gun and vanished
I’ve lost my wife and children
But I have many friends
And some of them are with me
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came
She died without a whisper
I’m the only one this evening
But I must go on
The frontiers are my prison
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we’ll come from the shadows
Ils me dirent, “résigne toi”
Mais je n’ai pas peur
J’ai repris mon âme
J’ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j’ai tant d’amis
J’ai la France entière
Pour la nuit nous a caché
Les Allemands l’ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we’ll come from the shadows
