for those of you who can't read through the entire link, and more importantly due to the inevitability of the link disappearing someday, (which they all may, which means to me that useful as they are, some 'hard' copy of info from the links should be added to the threads, not just a series of 'click here' s that might not have much web life) I mention this here: Hy Zaret, who did the English verses, apparently heard the song on the radio, and copyrighted it in England, rightly creditting Anna Marly for the music. He may not have heard the name of the original lyricist. The copyright in my posting of the leonard Cohen version is correct as far as it goes, but Wolfgang is correct in giving the name of 'Bernard', the partisan Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie as the original songwriter. Other versions mentioned are by Joan Baez, Buffy S. Marie, Isabelle Aubret, Esther Ofarim, Anna Prucnal, all of whom it seems changed something, omitted or added a stanza, altered a phrase, etc.
