When they poured across the border

this I could not do

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
Em chordEm Em chordEm Em chordEm Em chordEm

There were three of us this morning

the frontiers are my prison

then we'll come from the shadows

G chordG (D chordD) Em chordEm
Les Allemands étaient chez moi

ils me dirent, resigne-toi
G chordG D chordD
mais je n'ai pas pu
C chordC G chordG B7 chordB7
j'ai repris mon arme
Em chordEm Em chordEm Em chordEm Em chordEm

G chordG (D chordD) Em chordEm
J'ai changé cent fois de nom

j'ai perdu femme et enfants

mais j'ai tant d'amis

j'ai la France entière

Un vieil homme dans un grenier

pour la nuit nous a cachés

les Allemands l'ont pris

il est mort sans surprise
