**The Partisan**

***PattyKar***

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 the shadows.

Les Allemands étaient chez moi,

Ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"

Mais je n'ai pas peur

J'ai repris mon ar~me.

J'ai changé cent fois de nom,

J'ai perdu femme et enfants

Mais j'ai tant d'amis

J'ai la France entiè~re.

Un vieil homme dans un grenier

Pour la nuit nous a caché,

Les Allemands l'ont pris

Il est mort sans surpri~se.

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.
