J aimerai tant que les Français dont je suis écoute cette chanson en ces temps difficiles..n oublions jamais nos aïeux qui ont combattu la barbarie...et dire qu elle est à notre porte aujourd'hui..combattons✊✊

I am a 57 year old German and still love this song. I was brought up by my grandfather who was born 1912 and fought in WWII, not voluntarily. One day in France he and another soldier ventured out of the camp, without their weapons, to climb a mountain as they both were keen mountaineers. Halfway up the mountain they encountered members of the Maquis who could have easily (and understandably) killed my grandfather and his friend but they didn't. Instead, they were a group of like minded mountaineers and talked. I am forever grateful as otherwise I wouldn't be here...

this song is not just about WW2. It's about every fight for freedom.

J’aime tellement cette chanson. Les frissons. Tu nous manques tellement …. Qui est écoute cette chanson aujourd’hui?

My grandfather is Australian, and not a partisan, but he also fought with their bravery and virtues in WW2 to help ensure freedom and a better world. He’s also still alive and turning 100 this year ❤

A 95 years old partisan died yesterday. His name was Nello Bracalari, from Grosseto, Italy. In a confused country, amidst a surrendered people, he still carried on to look at the future with hope and courage, until the last days. May he be an example to younger generations.

My mom's father was a partisan, fighting Nazi Germans. He fell in April 1945. My father's dad was also a partisan, he survived the WW2. They were brave and descent men and fought against opression andf terror. I try to be worthy of them every single day.

It hurts to hear this song. I remember my parents showing respect when they heard this song. They were occupied for 5 years, living in the Netherlands. Partisans are, to this day, some of the most beautiful people, no matter the country they live in. Vive le Maquis. August 2023

Beaucoup de gens aujourd'hui écoute toujours cette chanson car ont ne peut oublier ce texte magnifique. MERCI à Léonard Cohen

This song brings tears to my eyes. My grandfather was in the resistance in Paris and he got killed by the Germans. My father had to raise himself and survive the war at 14 yrs. old. Thank you for sharing this song.

Ich bin deutscher aber jeder Franzose der in der Resistenz war hat was gutes für die Welt getan

Из России всем, кто учавствовал в борьбе с фашизмом и нацизмом огромный привет!

A chaque fois, ce chant me colle les frissons. Quel hommage aux combattants de l'ombre, aussi sobre que sublime !

Pas de mots pour la beauté de cette version. Léonard tu nous manques 💖

Cette chanson est d'actualitée, ceux qui oublient, recommencent l'histoire, bravo Mr Cohen, tu nous manques.

Je ne peux pas écouter cette chanson sans avoir les larmes aux yeux. La plus belle que je connaisse sur la Résistance.

This goes out to all brave Partizans from France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece... may your resistance never be blamed or forgotten!

My grandfather was a Partizan, he's 96 now.

Un monument pour une monumentale chanson :) A chaque fois, une sensation de frisson triste et profond ! L' artiste, les musiciens, la mélodie, le sujet, ca prend au tripes . Le vieil homme dans le grenier, toute la nuit nous a cachés .... Magistrale et inoubliable MR Cohen !

Quand j écoute cette chanson Quand je constate l état de la conscience politique de la majorité des français face à la prise du pays par une puissance étrangère.....les larmes viennent ! Plutôt mort que soumis !

Cohen - you sing for me when the life is too hard, too dark. I love your songs ever since a car- journey all alone over the mountains in august 1973. When I am sad, I listen to Cohen. When I am driving alone, I listen to Cohen. The best companion ever. Never stop singing for me, Leonard Cohen.

I love all Songs from Leonhard Cohen.But the Partisan is one of the best ❤

Bravo et merci Mr Cohen pour ce bel hommage à la résistance française. Cette chanson est belle par sa simplicité avec des mots justes qui touchent !.

Quand j' Écoute cette formidable chanson de Léonard Cohen je pense toujours à mon père résistant et maquisard ainsi qu'a mon oncle faisant partie des FFI et parti en Angleterre rejoindre De Gaulle. Pour moi c'est un très bel hommage à tous ces combattants la guitare est elle aussi sublime.

In loving memory of mister Henri Poirson , a french resistant I met twenty-five years ago . He was asked in 1942 by his boss to help some fugitives to go through the german lines , in the Vosges . Henri simply answered "Yes" , without consider risks for himself or his family . He was caught by the Nazis soon in the year 1944 and sent first to Natzweiler-Struthof , then Dachau . He survived because he had some friends (real life companions) who gave him some part of their poor eating... When Henri , who was really tall , came back home in his Vosgian village , his weight was less than 45 kg... The first time I met this gentle man at my job , I immediatly saw a tattoed number on one of his arms . Shy , I asked him what was that tattoo . So he explained me calmly what he did during Second World War . Since then , I really loved to talk with him ! He could speak about every subject with wisdom and humility . I miss him since the end of 2017 ... :'(

The Partisan. 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

Quelle belle chanson pleine de reconnaissance! Elle me donne les larmes aux yeux! ❤

Ce 26 Avril tu aurais eu 78 ans; il y a deux ans encore, nous nous prèparions avec simplicitè a ton anniversaire.. le bonheur alors etait a chaque instant si simple. Oh Ma Melissa adorée! parmis tant d'autres nous aimions tant cette chanson de L Cohen! Et de dire ici, pour finir ces quelques mots imparfaits a ceux qui les liront, Melissa S Kipp de Forts Myers FL etait une grande Dame.

Cette chanson vaut à elle seule tous les hommages rendus à toutes les victimes de l'oppression et de la barbarie !! Et quelle interprétation !!

Les Allemands sont venus chez moi, ils m’ont dit résigne toi, mais je n’ai pas peur ... j’ai changé 100 fois de noms , j’ai perdu femme et enfants, mais je n’ai pas peur ... magnifique hymne à la vie et contre la barbarie. Merci Monsieur de nous rappeler de ne pas oublier .

My father was only 14 when his English teacher asked to join the Résistance in1943. The same year from the same beach in Plestin les Grèves François Mitterand was joining the General De Gaulle not in London but in Alger. My father was tortured. All the adults were killed. In 1971 a great teacher discovered he had Parkinson disease, He died in April 1992. I think all the students on this earth who can understand French and American must sing this fantastic song

Le jeux de guitare place l émotion si haut !! Très belle hommage au femme et homme qui se sont battues pour notre liberté

Merci au grand, très grand Léonard pour cette magnifique chanson qui me fait pleurer à chaque fois! 🙏♥️🌟

This version, the guitar, is just fantastic. Love Leonard always. Poet extraordinaire!

es gibt keinen der soviel stimme verkörpert die letzte platte die sein sohn nach dem tod von ihm veröffendlich hat mit liedern die noch nie zu hören waren habe ich grandios er hat mich soweit ich denken kann(72jahre) immer begleitet

Mon oncle Gilbert à rejoint le maquis à l'âge de 17 ans en Tarentaise, Italie, il a vu mourir ses amis, il a vu des choses horribles, ma grand-mère, femme seule avec 6 enfants, à rejoint le maquis en portant des messages, grâce à son travail de porteuse de télégramme, elle s'appelait Marie Barral, c'était une grande dame

Thanks Leonard, if you meet my wife somewhere in heaven sing her something. She loved you Poland, Cracow

j'ai 54 ans j'ai entendu et surtout ecouté léonard cohen . mais je ne connaissais pas cette superbe et sublime chanson . j'ecoute sa melodie j'entend ces paroles. monsieur respect et dignitée pour toujours

Homage to Leonard & to those lost in the war. His voice, lyrics, poetry, bring tears in my eyes. What a life he lived & what a bliss he brought to so many. RIP in the heavens of music.

Je ne m'en lasse pas de l'écouter et ce sera ainsi jusqu'à mon dernier soupir ...

Que d'émotions à écouter et réécouter cette chanson ,frissons et larmes garantis .merci Leonard .la mémoire ne jamais oublier ces horreurs des sales guerres

My grandfather was a partisan in Belarus in WW2 and fought against the German invaders. He did not want to talk much about this time, because it was indescribably terrible. Everything was not only black and white. There are no saints in the war.

I sang that song and as my late brother Davie played guitar.i was staying in Paris France at the time. I knew every word.davie was so proud of his little sister.thanks Leonard for the memory.miss u both r.i.p. valerie x

A touching novella and a great homage to all, who fight for peace and freedom. Leonard Cohen unforgettable.

Im a retired teacher now...I played this song on my history class! Most of my students cried!

Inmortal....siempre estará entre nosotros. Leonard Cohen , una leyenda viva, hasta el fin del Universo.

Ça vient de loin et ça t'accroches sans autre remède que d'écouter jusqu'au bout, et quand ça s'arrête, on écoute toujours, ça ne te lâche pas aisément

Fabuleux, exceptionnel, n'a pris une ride. Quelle voix. Et cette mandoline qui répond. Inoui.

No pasaran. "J'ai tant d'amis, j'ai la France entière". Nous garderons la flamme, repose en paix.

Great song. Written by A. Marly and d'Astier de la Vigerie for French Resistance, those who save the honour of my country. Leonard has made a universal anthem for the courageous who resist again oppression everywhere now, yesterday, tomorrow. Cohen is a great poet and is still living thanks to his fabulous poetic songs

En ce jour du retour du Christ, une grande pensée d'amour pour mon père Antoine, ma mère Paulette et mon oncle Paul, pour toi aussi ma chère tante Madeleine qui avez tant résisté à l'envahisseur et aussi qui avez tant donné pour la vie. Je vous aime. Votre vieux fils et neveu François.

Superbe chanson touchante magnifiquement interprétée que j’écoute très souvent et qui restera intemporelle. Merci M. Léonard Cohen

Cher Leonard, nous avons encore besoin de partisans de la liberté, de gens qui luttent contre le populisme et la dictature politique ! Que Dieu te garde dans nos coeurs !

UN GÉNIE , il n’y a pas d’autre mot pour cet HOMME ...( mémoire pour mon père qui fut un jeune résistant ) je peux l’écouter en boucle sans arrêt......

Oui Leonard, inoubliable... et quel guitariste ! Trop émouvant. Un morceau à honorer en tant que Français.

Leonard brings me to tears every time. so beautiful.

This great song of the french resistance and the great voice of Leonhard Cohen touch me deep. I am a german born 1948 and still feeling so sad because the generation of my father killed so much people in so much countries. Never it should happen again... NEVER

Mr. Cohen, you are in our hearts. Forever till the end of time.

Esos músicos parecen haber venido de otro planeta !!! Me quito el sombrero buena compañia tiene el Leonard!!!☺

Cela me ramène à plus de 40 ans,mais quelle merveilleuse chanson que j'ai pu écouté à l'Alhambra de Bordeaux .Merci Léonard pour ces merveilleux souvenirs.

Merveilleuse chanson, chanté par un grand homme.

Un hommage émouvant à tous ces gens qui ont donné leur vie pour épargner la nôtre !

There's something strong in his harmonies. They'v touch my soul all along my life as many souls all over the world. I'm from France and i knew my neibourgh since a long time until i discovered she was a fan of Leonard Cohen too. Here "Suzanne"'s song is even more popular than this song because there's something strong in the music and we feel some kind of strong poetry even if very few people understand the lyrics. I saw Leonard in the 80th at a bad punk festival were they shouted at him not even knowing who he was, he was really in a bad situation. He could stand on some us because he saw some of us who knew his songs. Kept him confident. Fortunatly he had his revival. And this live session is really amazing with these strong musicians.

Une merveille qui sort d' un noble coeur qui s'adresse aux gens honorable qui adore le vrai art.

Je n’ai pas de mot pour exprimer ce que je ressens, émouvant et tellement bien interprété !!!

One of the greatest poets of the 20th century. His adaption brings home what is the dreadful price of freedom.

Une des plus belles chansons et la plus touchante sur la résistance d'un très grand monsieur. Il est c'est sûr au panthéon des grands.merci monsieur Cohen

I always loved the original. This is fantastic! Praise to the mandolin player!

Sublime. J'avais tellement d'admiration pour cet homme. Il me manque...beaucoup 🕊️🎼🎻

💖Merci l'artiste , le monde devient indigent de personne comme vous , soyez en paix 💫💫💫

Was für ein genialer Musiker seine Songs gehen unter die Haut und berühren die Herzen.

This is so amazing LC voice is so textured & what a band of musicians Just beautiful

Que tous les partisants t accompagne au paradis cher Leonard Cohen

MERCI à l'artiste, au combattant, à l'homme Cohen

A very underrated songwriter, and a very special voice. Miss you ❤

На его песнях выросло несколько поколений людей во всем мире.Любовь к его песням стала знаком хорошего музыкального вкуса.Благословенна память о нём!

This feels very apt with everything that's going on at the moment. It could be the battle cry of humanity.

To my grandfather who used to be partizan in NOPJ in Lika ,Croatien.

This is a brilliant video creation; the emotion-charged lyrics, Leonard Cohen's enchanting voice, the masterful Spanish guitarist, is here enhanced by the editing and blending of multiple recorded clips taken of several performances, all in ghost-like black-and-white, shadowy style.

Magnifique, j'en pleurs encore sans avoir auparavant entendu, merci et un merci profond de mon âme.

I am listening to Leonard Cohen's songs for almost 50 years. 2011, 10 years go, I was at his last concert in Vienna. An incredible experience, I will never forget.

Vive la France vive la resistance. This represents all the resistance throughout Europe. Thank you for expressing our feelings in your wonderful words and music. We all suffered so much. Merci Leonard. Lost but never forgotten as all our brothers and sisters who fought for freedom and gave their lives for us, We are so grateful to you for your creative expression. RIP

Leonard, it‘s so sad, that I can‘t see you alive yet. You are my all-time-hero and I‘m listening your music every day on my walks through the wonderful nature along my river.

Merci monsieur LÉONARD pour ce moment de pure émotion ! Vous me manquez

Me conmueve esta canción y con ella me gustaría hacerles un homenaje a unos grandes olvidados los españoles que lucharon junto a los partisanos franceses

Leonard was able to put every feeling and emotion in his voice, what a talent, rip great guy…..

Another excellent piece music 🎶🎵🎶🎵 art perfectly performed and done here by Leonard Cohen R.I.P. you will never be forgotten you are living through our mind's and through our hearts forever ♾️

MAN I miss this incredible poet .

As I type this, on March 8, 2022, the song may be more timely now than at any time since World War II. Thank you so much, aszad, for posting this brilliant version.

My mothers’ parents were partisans both having escaped first from Falangist Spain then Vichy French concentration camps to join the maquis. As a child she sang me to sleep with songs from the resistance. Songs like this one.

Two years ago , I couldn't imagine my testimony about mister Henri Poirson would have such a huge echo throughout the world . This means an essential thing to me : there are still some people who know what are senses of humility , braveness , humanity . To those who kindly answered to my first comment , be sure you all gave me a wonderful ray of Light . And may this Light bless you all ! From France ,

Je pense à mon père, qui a pris le maquis à 16 ans. Honneur à tous ceux qui ont combattu pour la France au mépris de leurs vie

50 years ago and this was the 1st song by Leonard Cohen I had ever heard. I was a 14yo dating a 21yo guitarist named Ronny Anson who played lead for a local back up to the stars Miami rock band and well loved by The Ale House. The band was called the Stuck Zipper never did find out why. This talented musician and lover of all things musical made born in me a love for all things Cohen. You showed me how to follow each LC lyric to an unknown place and how the lick of a guitar, mandolin or fiddle would take me swirling into an out of body experience. You taught me that Mr Cohen should be followed for a lifetime for the gift to earth that he is. I am 65yo and still following. I remember all the lyrics to almost all of his songs, still, to date, my heart becomes saturated with an emotion I cannot name upon hearing any one of his songs , the hearing of all of his music you so eagerly shared has never left me, how well you taught me how to see by hearing, and for your owning every Leonard Cohen album yet published, low glow golden lighting in your room with Famous Blue Raincoat playing softly in the backgroimund and the chords twitching your long fingers and the lyrics dancing in your eyes, oh how I was mesmerized by his songs and your love for his genius and you. Thank you Ronnie Anson may your life have been filled with million acts of kindness.

Cette chanson ne peut etre que AMOUR ET PARTAGE ET ESPOIRS MERCI MONSIEUR COHEN 😍🇫🇷💓🌹💞✌️

Une magnifique chanson. C’est étrange comme j’aime l’écouter… Tout en pleurant. ❤Tim

A suberb rendition of his classic song about the resistance. Love the band. That Spanish sounding guitar accompaniment is sublime.

Wow! That he did not write it, matters not, he sang it, he felt it from the heart. Vive la France, vive Leonard encore dans ses chansons.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a long, long time. I am simply enamored.

Realmente hermoso, melodía y arreglos exquisitos. Gracias por estos momentos mágicos!!
