The accompanying article by Marc Gaffie (accent missing) is fascinating, especially his observation about the mistranslation of the last verse.

My French is not perfect by a long shot but it seems clear that "Nous rentrerons dans l'ombre" is NOT "We'll come from the shadows" but rather "We'll return to the shadows". The translation as given insists on a Hollywood ending to the song--a happy ending. It's not in fact a happy ending, and to make it so cheapens the song in my view.

I was part of a small group which did a CD in Russian and Yiddish, "Rise Up And Fight!: Songs of Jewish Partisans", under the auspices of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, with Theodore Bikel and some other singers. Themes like talking to his lover, telling her "when I fall, just take another lover and my rifle and keep fighting"--truly haunting songs.
