The Partisan (Live at Isle of Wight Festival, UK) - Leonard Cohen

Written by：Anna Marly/Hy Zaret

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

Yes I have lost my wife and children

But I have many friends

And some of them are with me

With me right you tonight

An old woman gave us shelter

Kept us hidden in the garret

Then the soldiers came

She died without a whisper

Without a whisper

There were three of us this morning

I'm the only one this evening

But I will go on

This 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 resigne toi

Mais je n'ai pas pu

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 supplice

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

Ho the shadows

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

Ho the shadows

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
