Música para la Paz

La canción The Partisan pertenece al disco “Songs from a room”, del cantautor canadiense Leonard Cohen. Es una versión de un popular tema de la Resistencia Francesa conocido como “La complainte du partisan” que aunque fue compuesto en plena II Guerra Mundial, puede considerarse desafortunadamente vigente.
Aunque el video tiene subtítulos en castellano, te presentamos la letra original:

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,
Ive 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
Im 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 well come from the shadows.Les allemands etaient chez moi,
Ils me dirent, signe toi,
Mais je nai pas peur;
Jai repris mon arme.
Jai change cent fois de nom,
Jai perdu femme et enfants
Mais jai tant damis;
Jai la france entie`re.
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a cache,
Les allemands lont pris;
Il est mort sans surprise.Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
Through the graves the wind is blowing,
Freedom soon will come;
Then well come from the shadows.
