When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
I took my gun and vanished, mmm
I have changed my name so often

That I´ve lost my wife and children
But I´ve many friends
And some of them are with me, mmm
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, mmm
Les Allemands étaient chez moi
Ils me dirent, "signe-toi"
Mais je n´ai pas peur

J´ai repris mon arme
J´ai changé cent fois de nom
J´ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j´ai tant d´amis
J´ai la France entière
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a caché
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 shadows, mmm
