I don't know how many times I have listened to this interpretation of The Partisan, how many times I have shared it friends, near and far. It is so beautiful. Thank you Matthew. Thank you Jill. And thanks to your just as soulful musicians, obviously in sync with you two. The song feels like waves rolling into the shore, soothing, mournful, remembering, never forgetting.
On the 8 th of June I was with a French English group in a cementary to commemorate Alexandre Schawtschko member of S.O.E.. Born in Cluj 1919. Father Ukrainian, mother Hungarian. Came in France. Alexandre studied, became an ingenior, became a French Citizen. Fought in the French army, went to Great Britain. Join the S.O.E. . In 1944 was in France, training and fighting with French Resistance. Was in Creuse, near Eguzon. Kept by the German. Killed the soldier who was interrogating him. Wounded. Suicide with his gun .24.... Special dédicace for him !
La complainte du partisan,1943 , musique Anna Marly , texte Emmanuel d’Astier de la Vigerie. Comme un internaute le souligne avant, le texte a été modifié par les Barber pour omettre la référence aux allemands. Remplacé par « ils ». Leonard Cohen utilise le mot « allemand » dans les différentes versions que j’ai entendu.
La version studio de Léonard Cohen mentionne "les Allemands" effectivement. Par contre "mon âme" est (re)devenu "mon arme" ? J'aime beaucoup cette interprétation, et contrairement à quelques commentaires, j'y trouve une grande sensibilité et un grand respect pour le Chef d'Oeuvre.
Sylvain SWIFT oui, Cohen utilise « les allemands » dans les versions que j’ai entendues, y compris live. Mais je n’arrive pas à distinguer s’il dit « arme » ou « âme »!
Why did the lyrics have been changed ? «Les allemands étaient chez moi» is now «Ils étaient chez moi» et «Les allemands l'ont pris» is now «Ils l'ont pris»... What a curious way to honor the song of Leonard Cohen. He has never been afraid of what he wrote and sang.
Leonard Cohen did not write the song, though he did cover it beautifully. It was originally written about resisters in the second world war, but I think that Matthew and Jill have shifted it so that it could apply to any conflict, any time. It's nothing to do with "being afraid".

Amazing voices; such a perfect feeling to the lyrics
Une magnifique version d’une magnifique chanson

This song gets better for each interpretation I discover on UA-cam
Enchanting duet. They spin well together. Sounds a bit like it has a 60's folk touch.
Love it ! Beautiful cover they did well without copying Leonard's version.
The first version called "La complainte du partisan" in 1943 by a french resistant Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie
Very well done.
♥️. 🇫🇷
Beautiful
Interesting and different, but well done
magnifica interpretazione
So beautiful ❤❤

@@d.trudeau Oui difficile à entendre... Mais il me semble avoir lu que "âme" avait remplacé. Mais où et quand, impossible de me souvenir ! ;-)
all it comes from "Song of Partisan", 1942, russian text and music by Anna Marly. ua-cam.com/video/v3vHTCpIvtA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Les Allemands étaient chez moi
Ils me dirent, "résigne toi"
Mais je n'ai pas peur
J'ai repris mon âme
Well, they tried to do their very best ...

It's a second world war song wrote by Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie and Anna Marly. Leonard Cohen has just made some covers of this.
Too slow for my liking, but good effort.
Meh! I they could have kept it the way it is. Ok I guess
This is the Barber shop version terrible ,total crap
