Joan Baez - The Partisan Lyrics
They poured across the borders
We were cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
Into the hills I vanished
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
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.

Joan Baez The Partisan Comments
superbe!
to carol klein she introduced me to this record
to my grand parents anna haas emil schulz was in the french resistnce died at sobibor may 7 1943
BELLÍSIMO TEMA. Lo escuché por primera vez en la década del 70, cuando era niña todavía.
Aún cuando no sabía de qué se trataba, la voz prístina de Joan Baez, me llegó al alma. Hoy supe que hay otras versiones, Cohen entre otros. Aunque también es hermosa voz, y suena más triste y lastimera acorde a la letra ; me quedo con la fuerza de Joan. 💖
MAGNIFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Amazing, the unique and unparalleled, JOAN BAEZ
I saw her perform around this time. But of course, she & Pete Seeger sang for us many times before and after.
Une grande chanteuse, vraiment quelqu'un de très très bien, elle a défendu la liberté, la vraie liberté, une grande dame de la chanson.....
shame she don't have cohen's subtlety in playing and singing..theme of this song deserves that kind of sensibility
The authors of this song are Anna Marly and Hy Zaret. "La complainte du partisan" is another song with music written by Anna Marly. You can find both songs in YouTube, in their original recordings.
horrible cover
She looks so good!
dear Martin Moeller, you are just the mot ignorant guy in this world. Shame on you.
thank you carol for introducing me to joans music in 1967.hope you are well.
the lyrics of the end of the song is : anemi anemi sfurizoun ,stous tafous anemi sfurizoun,erxete i eleftheria , kai emeis mazi apo ta skotadia (she sings in Greek.) and it means (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.)
I usually love Joan Baez' singing but this sounds too pretty for the content of the song. I prefer Leonard Cohen's rendition.
Brother Nathanial sings it better.
This is true.
Lovely, but different from Leonard Cohens......but I love Joan Baez.....
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.
pedrosomartins merci pour cette explication sur cette chanson si importante.

@Martin Möller you are very stupid
@Martin Möller French resistance fuck you, hijo de puta de basura nazi.....
@Martin Möller n'importe quoi!
