Le chant des Partisans The Chant des Partisans was the most popular song of the Free French and French Resistance during World War II. The partisans' song Mate, do you hear the dark flight of the crows over our plains? Mate, do you hear the muffled clamour of enchained countries? Hey, partisans, workers and peasants this is the signal tonight the enemy will know the price of blood and tears... Join the sabotage, get off the hills, comrades! Take the rifles, the machine gun, the grenades out of the straws. Hey, killers, with a bullet or by knife, kill swiftly! Hey, saboteur, take care of your charge: dynamite... It's us smashing the prison bars for our brothers, The hatred on our backs and the hunger that drives us, the misery. Ami, entends-tu le vol noir des corbeaux sur nos plaines? Ami, entends-tu les cris sourds du pays qu´on enchaîne? Ohé, partisans, ouvriers et paysans, c´est l´alarme. Ce soir l´ennemi connaîtra le prix du sang et les larmes. Montez de la mine, descendez des collines, camarades! Sortez de la paille les fusils, la mitraille, les grenades. Ohé, les tueurs à la balle et au couteau, tuez vite! Ohé, saboteur, attention à ton fardeau : dynamite... C´est nous qui brisons les barreaux des prisons pour nos frères. La haine à nos trousses et la faim qui nous pousse, la misère.

The partisans’ song Il y a des pays où les gens au creux des lits font des rêves. Ici, nous, vois-tu, nous on marche et nous on tue, nous on crève... Ici chacun sait ce qu´il veut, ce qu´il fait quand il passe. Ami, si tu tombes un ami sort de l´ombre à ta place. Demain du sang noir sèchera au grand soleil sur les routes. Chantez, compagnons, dans la nuit la Liberté nous écoute... Ami, entends-tu le vol noir des corbeaux sur nos plaines? Ami, entends-tu les cris sourds du pays qu´on enchaîne? There are countries where people are dreaming deep in their beds, here, we, you see, we're marching on and we're getting killed, we're getting whacked... Yes, we're getting whacked... Here everyone knows what he wants, what he does when it takes place, Mate, if you go down, a mate out of the shadows takes your place. Tomorrow black blood will be drying under the sun on the roads, sing, colleagues, freedom is listening to us in the night... Sing... Come on, sing... Sing, colleagues!

A song and a story of Resistance. A Russian guitarist wrote the song in London and the writers Joseph Kessel and Maurice Druon adapted the lyrics. The song was whistled on the BBC to override the jammings. The air became popular in France. Whistling meant rallying. The lyrics were parachuted in France by the RAF in 1943. It became the song of the Resistance.
