This song is actually an adaptation from La complainte du partisan , written in London during 1943, by Emmanuel D'Astier de la Vigerie (called Bernard in the French Resistance) and Anna Marly. • http://www.leonardcohensite.com/parti... • They poured across the borders • We were cautioned to surrender • This I could not do • Into the hills I vanished • No one ever asks me • Who I am or where I'm going • But those of you who know • You cover up my footprints • I have changed my name so often • I have 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 a garrett • And then the soldiers came • She died without a whisper • There were three of us this morning • And I'm the only one this ev'ning • Still I must go on • Frontiers are my prison • Oh the winds, the winds are blowing • Thru the graves the winds are blowing • Freedom soon will come! • Then we'll come from the shadow.
