[tresnjevka4]

prekrasna pjesma,Hrvati su bili najveci Partizani

[carlos86902]

Cásate conmigo Joan!!! :)

[daviddiron]

Give me Liberty or give me Death! Like Heinlein's one-armed freedom fighter, hanging in the barbed wire as they cut him to pieces: "FREEDOM! FREEDOM!". They pour across our borders now: we'll fight them from the hills, the mountains and the swamps! Death to the invaders! AMERICA FOREVER!!

[ANTOONMAKA]

Texte d' Emmanuel d'Astié de la Vigerie , musique d'Anna Marly (celle qui a composé la musique du chant des partisans français)

[shimke43]

Thank you Lucrezia for the Greek. (BTW, the great Canadian poet, singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen is of Greek-Jewish origin.)

[ramses30277]

Very good ! Not many can bring a song of the great Leonard Cohen so good!

[JoachimderZweite]

I have always thought this should have been a Boer song.

[jeromedewart]

Can anyone write here the lyrics at the end of the song ? It seems to be spanish or something but I don't speak it at all so I can't get it... Thanks a lot

[LucreziaB2912]

@jeromedewart she sings the last verse in greek ...i can write down what i hear beacuse she doesn't say it so clearly...

[LucreziaB2912]

@LucreziaB2912 she sings : anemi anemi sfurizoun ,stous tafous anemi sfurizoun,erxete i eleftheria , kai emeis mazi apo ta skotadia....which means:winds winds are blowing , through the graves winds are blowing ,the freedom comes , and we (come) together from the darkness....hope you can understand the greek with latin characters...

[jeromedewart]

@LucreziaB2912 Shit, I'm learnin greek right now but didn't get it :D... Seems like I still must practice a lot

[LucreziaB2912]

@jeromedewart trust me i am greek and i made a great effort to make out what she says...at first i also thought that she might sing spanish!!!

[SylvieEvin]

song written by Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie 1943 for exactly the text (against dustch occupation)

[JoseAngelGL]

"Into the hills I vanished..." Yeah, peace is a great thing, but you can't be a partisan and a pacifist. If you are going to be a partisan, don't forget to take your gun.

[ruskohf]

la meilleur

[MrTheBrainbox]

What a song ... What a voice ... What a message ...

[Droolsma]

best version ever by Noir Desir / 16 Horsepower

[buendtu]

not close to cohen...

[almichalas]

@winddancer1562 She's repeating the last verse in greek.

[bayonne64able]

c'est Ana Marly résistante qui à composée la Complainte du Partisan, c'est une chanson française à la gloire de la résistance. Ana Marly est celle qui a composée la musique du chant des partisans, et ce sont Kessel et Druon qui en ont écrit les paroles - A écouter son enregistrement "complainte du Partisan"

[SylvieEvin]

@bayonne64able Faux! (false) written by Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie 1943

[SylvieEvin]

@bayonne64able ecrit par (written by )Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie 1943!

[winddancer1562]

CAn anyone translate the last verse for me? Please?

[briardiere50]

Quand on aime Cohen autant que je l'aime, bien sûr que c'est la meilleure version, normal, on est un peu chauvin !

Il l'a chanté dans ses concerts en France et c'était un pur plaisir. Dommage, elle ne figure pas sur son DVD de sa tournée.....

[briardiere50]

@briardiere50 Qu'est-ce que c'est que cette traduction à la noix de mon message !

[jayloewe]

Freedom soon will come, then we'll come from the shadows...

[jackeenjim]

Is there a CD of this album? I've lost my LP.

[rosachina2000]

Esta versión es la mejor!!! La fuerza de su voz,  la claridad de su dicción son muy impresionantes.

Great interpretation of orginal song of Anna Marly

Vive la résistance française, Vive la france !

[throbespana]

For me the best version is by Buffy Sainte Marie check out her live 2008 performance on youtube incredible, stil, the song is so good it great by them all...

[saphirshine]

it was a french second during the 2nd world war

[jimsabean]

@hitjohnny yes, but I believe that Cohen's version was the first English adaptation. I can't find any recordings of the original "La complainte du partisan" (Emmanuel D'Astier de la Vigerie and Anna Marly) or "Chant des partisans" (J. Kessel and M. Druon).

It's a matter of preference really.

Regardless, Joan Baez has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard and IMHO is an excellent songwriter and poet, even if Dylan didn't think so ;-)

[animascat]

@jimsabean who cares what that old woman, dylan, thinks. god has blessed him with amazing aptitude for music and lyrics. outside of that , i don't see him as a particularly generous or loving individual.

[jimsabean]

Cohen's version is the best, of course, but this is nice :-)

[rfranklinw1]

@jimsabean cohen is a writer, certainly not a singer. I disagree with your choice of versions.

[jimsabean]

@rfranklinw1 They are both writers AND singers. There's no need to mark my post as spam simply because I stated my preference for the ORIGINAL.

I like Cohen and I like Baez. Regardless, I stick to my guns on this one, Cohen sings this better than Baez, IMHO.

[hitjohny]

@jimsabean

Cohen's is a cover, too. He didn't write it

[sergiopurasuerte]

Hermosa canción y una interpretación que me llega la corazón.

[gordieK]

Great tune - an anthem for guerrilas and freedom fighters everywhere. No justice - no peace.

[SaskiaCornell]

Love Joan.................

Saskia
