• The partisan

     

    Leonard Cohen
     
    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
    I've 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
    I'm 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 we'll come from the shadows
     
    Les Allemands étaient chez moi
    Ils me dirent, "résigne toi"
    Mais je n'ai pas peur
    J'ai repris mon âme
     
    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 caché
    Les Allemands l'ont 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 we'll come from the shadows

    end of the 19th century, USA

     

    Thanksgiving commemorates the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers. On the fourth Thursday of November, the Americans remember how the Pilgrims thanked the Indians (Native Americans) for their hospitality. People commemorate it by having a big lunch with food that was discovered in America, such as turkey and pumpkin, etc.
