Lyrik:

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 e'taient chez moi, (The Germans were at my home)
ils me dirent, "Signe toi," (They said, "Sign yourself,")
mais je n'ai pas peur; (But I am not afraid)
j'ai repris mon arme. (I have retaken my weapon.)

J'ai change' cent fois de nom, (I have changed names a hundred times)
j'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)
mais j'ai tant d'amis; (But I have so many friends)
j'ai la France entie`re. (I have all of France)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)
pour la nuit nous a cache', (Hid us for the night)
les Allemands l'ont pris; (The Germans captured him)
il est mort sans surprise. (He died without 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

[Michael Gorman]

There is no convincing some people of anything...but consider the scope of the lyrics, they do not only speak of defeat, merely the tyranny of the times-

[ErwinWoodedge]

My friend, this information of yours doesn't make my words untrue.

[Michael Gorman]

The same Brits who liberated your vanquished land, for all your Gallic bravado you have no appreciation for the truth of history-even though those same Brits have become a scattered race

[Michael Gorman]

Bullshit my friend, you have no understanding of history-he sings of the graves of those who died that you may utter your flasehoods

[ErwinWoodedge]

A defeatist revolutionary song.

[Lutgart Philips]

Zalig, onvergetelijk.

[PetiteLicorne]

It's not "je n'ai pas peux" (I couldn't) it's "je n'ai pas peur. (I'm not afraid)
