Words

the Germans were at home

One said to me resigns

But I could not

And I took again my weapon.

Nobody required

of me From where I come and where I go

You who know it

Effacez my passage.

I changed hundred times of name

I lost woman and children

But I have so many friends

And I have whole France.

an old man in an attic

For the night hid us

the enemy knew it (VAr. : the Germans took it )

It died without surprise.

As lately as yesterday we were three

It does not remain more that me

And I turn in round

In the prison of the borders.

the wind blows on the tombs

freedom will return

One will forget us

We will return in the shade.
