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.
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.
My father was arrested as he was 14 years old in Epinay sur Orge 21st august 1944, he spent 3 days in jail in the Longjumeau Kommandantur before to be saved on 24th by the french 2nd DB ( armored division) of general Leclerc
This song brings tears to my eyes too thank you for your sincere comment i am french i'll never forget the sacrifice of french resistance god bless you and your relatives
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 ❤
So he was allied with the Soviets and other democratic/republican countries fighting the democratically elected Austrian painter in republican Germany and their allies. Where do you find freedom in today's world? Were you free during the illness, or a prisoner in your home? Do you get to choose what to do with your income, or do your owners decide that most of it should be used for a higher purpose? Are you raising your children or do your owners have a higher goal for them? Freedom is being able to choose and that freedom died with the First World War and the democratic takeover.
@@MrGunnar69The shitbird Hitler whom you are referring to, won 1election in Germany. In 1933 he seized power after the Nazis burned down the Reichstag, at which time German ceased being a democratic country. Freedom died after the first world war - you do know there was no freedom before that, all people were bound to serve the so called upper class. Read a history book you f@#king idiot.
@@MrGunnar69Germany stopped being a democratic country after the Nazis burned down the Reichstag in 1933. The new powers give to Hitler & his Nazis allowed them to ban elections and to size power permanently. Maybe you should read a history book, that way you won't make idiotic comments that make you look like a total twat.
Bullshit comments for a great Greetings. Geografija je nevazna. Unimportant where partisans come from. Its all about underdog fighting against a bitch ass imperial mfs. Commies or not...all of us have a partisans soul. If we recognize it...
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
I wish I could have played it for my mother who lived through it in Hoensbroek in the Maastricht dst . . simple things they treasured (and kept hidden) . . My father was stationed there, met her and brought her home (US) after the war
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 ... :'(
That's so touching a story ,, so many ppl where so brave then ,if it where now ,,we r lost no heroes left that I can think of ,except those that r no longer with us Blessings to him and all the others ,I had uncles in WW2 and one was only 12 but big 4 age so he lied and joined after he ran away to go defeat Hitler ,, he was presumed dead ,my grandmother had second sight ,she calmly told to soldier that came out to tell her her son was dead, or mia, she told him ,he was gonna b home soon ,they thought she was crazy ,second sight and all but sure nuff about 6 weeks after he was found ,someone was caring for him ,, saved his life he was badly burned ,but grandma had a salve she made my wise granny ,, she was part native American and she told us things should not have known ,,but this was the story we heard most often,, ty 4 sharing and good to meet you my friend
I played this for my mum, she was in tears, I didn't mean for that reaction, but she lost 3 uncles fighting for the resistance, another uncle was awarded Legion deHoneurre, again for the resistance
@@celinebarrois6140 J'ai très bien connu Henri Poirson, un voisin et un ami de Moussey. Il fut le dernier survivant des déportés du village : plus de 200 pour une population de 1200. 2/3 sont décédés dans les camps ou juste à leur retour.
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.
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

@@adamjacqueline5312 une chanson écrite à Londres en 1943 par Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigeriea pour le texte et Anna Marly pour la musique. Cette chanson est diffusée pour la première fois sur les ondes de la BBC à destination de la France occupée et un des disques est même détruit par la DCA allemande lors d'un parachutage de résistants1. Elle devient une chanson populaire dans les années 1950.
Leonard Cohen un génie et un humaniste comme on aimerait qu’il y en est beaucoup plus pour que la terre 🌎 soit un paradis ❤❤❤❤ Terminé toutes c🎉es stupides guerres. Faisons plutôt la guerre à toutes ces saloperies de maladies, la guerre à toutes les misères du monde, la est la première cause d’une guerre juste ❤❤❤❤
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 .
Je souscris et suis ému par vos mots simples et sincères cette chanson est éternelle et restera une ode à l'humanité résistants, nous le deviendrons par nécessité!
@@rb11rb Es una bandurria española, de la familia del laúd, tiene 6 cuerdas dobles, es decir 12 cuerdas, se toca con púa y efectivamente la toca Javier Más, un multiinstrumentista español, está canción suena preciosa no solo por la bandurria, la música y la letra, sino por lo q significa. Toda la música del Sr. COHEN es una maravilla.
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 !
Vous l'avez sans doute entendue par les compagnons de la chanson? Avec la voix limpide de Fred Mella? Il m'arrive de la fredonner parfois en cours de journée,surtout la strophe "hier encor nous étions trois,il ne reste plus que moi"
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.

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 !
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
@@marie-rosedaly4234 thanks. This song always reminds me those who fought near where I am living... Limousin was called Little Siberia because of the Partisans. The 8 of June 1944 Alexandre Schawtschko member of the S.O.E. was caught by the Germans in Eguzon. He was 24, born in Transylvania mother Hungarian father Ukrainian. He became French and decided to fight for his country. He realised he could not escape and shot himself with his last bullet. I am visiting his grave each year on 8 of June. Always remember that...
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.
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.
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.
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
The Francs-Tireurs et Partisans Français[a] (FTPF), or commonly the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (FTP), was an armed resistance organization created by leaders of the French Communist Party during World War II (1939-45). The communist party was neutral at first, following the Soviet Union's official view that the war was a struggle between imperialists, but when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 changed to a policy of armed resistance against the German occupation of France. Three groups were formed, consisting of party members, young communists and foreign workers. Early in 1942 they were merged to form the FTP, which undertook sabotage and assassinations of the occupation. The FTP became the best organized and most effective of the French Resistance groups. In March 1944, before the Allied forces returned to Normandy, the FTP was theoretically merged with the other Resistance groups. In practice, it retained its independence until the end of the war.
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
Pas seulement en tant que français. En la reinterpretant en anglais, léonard Cohen l'a rendue universelle. n'importe quel autre pays pourrait s'y retrouver .
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
Never to be had while he Americans control our so called leaders, freedom from their hegmony and greed and their might be hope for Europe but it better be soon as they are trying to start conflict allover the World 🤮🇺🇸🤮🇬🇧🤮🇮🇱🤮
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.
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 !
Oui cher Léonard, gardez-nous de la dictature de Mélenchon et du populisme islamiste. Tout à fait d'accord Thierry Laruelle. Et merci pour cet hommage à Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie
La dictature politique des médias et de la technostructure vous pouvez en parler...mais le ' populisme si c est le pouvoir du peuple il n'y a rien à dire contre
@@mrguidoricciobeauchamp5568 mais cher Monsieur, le peuple ne peut avoir les pleins pouvoirs et Dieu nous en garde, seule la République est l'équilibre ! Le peuple n'est qu'une partie de cette république qui vous protège ! Essayez donc celles de certains pays, vous pourriez comparer avec la France ! Bien à vous et joyeuses fêtes de fin d'année !
Les victimes ,dont je parle sont tout simplement celles de ma barbarie nazie; ce statut ne peut en aucun cas leur être retiré. Je pense que vous faites allusion à la politique israëlienne actuelle à l'égard des arabes et là effectivement il y'a matière à discuter. Mais il faut ,je pense faire la différence entre un gouvernement et son peuple . Gardons nous bien des généralités simplistes et dangereuses qui ne nourrissent que la haine. Il faut faire la part des choses et être plus nuancé dans ses propos , mais , il est vrai que çà demande un certain effort, voire un effort certain ce que n'exigent pas les extrémistes d'où qu'ils soient.
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
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......
Hommage à mon père, grand "Résistant" engagé volontaire à 17 ans en 1941 à la 13 ième DBLE de la Légion Etrangère, compagnon d'arme et de combat d'Hubert Germain à El Alamein, Bir Hakem - Campagnes de Lybie, Tunisie, d'Italie, de Provence et aux combats de la 1re armée française remontant vers l'Allemagne. Il ira jusque dans les rizières d'Indochine, où il sera gravement blessé à Claudine à Dien Bien Phu. Comme en 1939, ils seront abandonné aux mains des Vietmins, et trahi en Algérie , lui et ses compagnons d'armes par les divers gouvernements de la République Française. Il refusera tous les Honneurs de la République, le titre de Compagnon de la Libération, ne participera à aucune commémoration officielle de la Libération, sauf aux cérémonies de souvenirs et aux prises d'armes de sa Patrie la Légion Etrangère. Légio Patria Nostra....car eux, Hommes de Valeurs et d'Honneurs, ignoraient la trahison, eux qui ont souffert et offert leur vie pour avoir cru en une parole reniée et à des engagements trahis. Seul le drapeau de son régiment couvrira son cercueil
De verdad. Con preciosas palabras lienas de esperanza, de luz y de vida con su experencias dando à nuestras almas sus colores. Un hombre de blanco vestido.
Et lui était amoureux de la liberté, de l'égalité et de la fraternité, trois valeurs qui font de lui un véritable humaniste et qui manquent cruellement à certains chefs d'état.
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
@@NixUgriBugri Not everyone was a partisan from 1941,not everyone was "narodni heroj".My grandfather was.Most of the family were civil opfer from ustashe.
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.
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 ,
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
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
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.
@@realist8977 creo que este concierto forma parte de la gira mundial que hizo hacia 2009 o 2010 pues el gran guitarrista español, de Zaragoza, participó en ella. Vi en vivo su actuación perteneciente a esta gira en Zaragoza y rindió un sentido homenaje a dicho guitarrista, que en esta pieza toca la bandurria, guitarra típica de la jota aragonesa, y al que asistiò toda su familia. Fue precioso e inolvidable.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
ET MOI JE L’ai DÉCOUVERT LORS DE SA MORT. COMME JE LE REGRETTE . MAIS MAINTENANT Je Me RATTRAPE ET L’ÉCOUTE TRÈS SOUVENT C’EST UNE MERVEILLE UN BONHEUR D’ÉCOUTER UN TEL HOMME . 🕊❤️😂🙏🏽
MOn homme engagé militaire, cette chanson de Léonard Cohen était l'une de ses préférées, ce n'était pas la seule.¨Paix à sa grande âme partie il y à 44 mois..
I am Polish , and this song reminds me of thousands of Polish boys in their 20 who died fighting German and Russian oppressors. Where I come from, in every cemetery there are partisans mass graves. Every time I look at those rows of names I think about those young lives that have been cut so short.
Ничего, что русские угнетатели Польше прирезали треть немецких территорий? Может пора избавиться от угнетения русских и отказаться от тех земель, что русские вам подарили? А заодно извиниться перед чехами за Тешин, который вы поляки, вместе с Гитлером раздербанили, вы сами перед чехами тогда оккупантами небыли?
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.
From one very small village in Macedonia a small batallion of Macedonian Partisans fought off the Germans in WW2 to take back there village. My mum witnessed this as a small girl. This song does some justice to all of those who fought in WW2. God bless all those hero's who fought for there people so they may live a good life on this God given earth. Amen
*YES those fascist NAZI herds used TESTERE on the prisoners there is a photograph just before they hack off his head with tree cutting 3 yard saw & unfortunately its true
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.
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
Ils ont combattu avec les résistants français dans ma région. Les noms de certains, morts au combat, figurent sur des plaques ici, en Creuse et en Limousin. Gloire à eux, gloire aux Republicains
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 ♾️
el grande, espectacular, me encanta como tocaba esta bandurría ❤️, ha dado un toque de nostalgía y tristeza muy particular que esta para mi y según los comentarios y las vistas es la versión mejor de la canción.
Le plus beau chant sur la Résistance magnifié par Léonard Cohen. Je faisais écouter cette chanson à mes élèves de 3° quand nous étudions la Seconde guerre mondiale. Toujours un moment d'émotion au service de la mémoire et si vous avez un doute sur l'existence de l'âme, abreuvez vous de Léonard Cohen, et vous serez rassuré sur la vôtre.

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
Some of the french is still missing. Can anyone fill in?

Yeah
Je ne peux pas écouter cette chanson sans avoir les larmes aux yeux. La plus belle que je connaisse sur la Résistance.
OK résistance ou
@@adamjacqueline5312 une chanson écrite à Londres en 1943 par Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigeriea pour le texte et Anna Marly pour la musique. Cette chanson est diffusée pour la première fois sur les ondes de la BBC à destination de la France occupée et un des disques est même détruit par la DCA allemande lors d'un parachutage de résistants1. Elle devient une chanson populaire dans les années 1950.

Leonard Cohen un génie et un humaniste comme on aimerait qu’il y en est beaucoup plus pour que la terre 🌎 soit un paradis ❤❤❤❤ Terminé toutes c🎉es stupides guerres. Faisons plutôt la guerre à toutes ces saloperies de maladies, la guerre à toutes les misères du monde, la est la première cause d’une guerre juste ❤❤❤❤
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 .

Et c'est comme "les loups sont entrés dans Paris"
Un très grand merci afin que n’oublie jamais 💔
Merci Monsieur 🇫🇷
Je souscris et suis ému par vos mots simples et sincères cette chanson est éternelle et restera une ode à l'humanité résistants, nous le deviendrons par nécessité!
This version, the guitar, is just fantastic. Love Leonard always. Poet extraordinaire!
That is a ‘laúd’ played by Javier Mas. Sounds beautiful.
Seems to be a sirtaki
Lenda👍🇵🇹🙏
Vraiment un grand poète
@@rb11rb Es una bandurria española, de la familia del laúd, tiene 6 cuerdas dobles, es decir 12 cuerdas, se toca con púa y efectivamente la toca Javier Más, un multiinstrumentista español, está canción suena preciosa no solo por la bandurria, la música y la letra, sino por lo q significa. Toda la música del Sr. COHEN es una maravilla.
Un monument pour une monumentale chanson :)
A chaque fois, une sensation de frisson triste et profond !

Le vieil homme dans le grenier, toute la nuit nous a cachés ....
Magistrale et inoubliable MR Cohen !
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 !.
Vous l'avez sans doute entendue par les compagnons de la chanson? Avec la voix limpide de Fred Mella? Il m'arrive de la fredonner parfois en cours de journée,surtout la strophe "hier encor nous étions trois,il ne reste plus que moi"
@@christianlofaro6285 non je ne l'ai entendue chanter que par Léonard Cohen. Les compagnons de la chanson je les ai entendus quand j'étais gamine.

La voix reflète les événements comme personne d autre
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.
So real.

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
Alain: love your comment Thx
@@marie-rosedaly4234 thanks. This song always reminds me those who fought near where I am living... Limousin was called Little Siberia because of the Partisans. The 8 of June 1944 Alexandre Schawtschko member of the S.O.E. was caught by the Germans in Eguzon. He was 24, born in Transylvania mother Hungarian father Ukrainian. He became French and decided to fight for his country. He realised he could not escape and shot himself with his last bullet. I am visiting his grave each year on 8 of June. Always remember that...
Nice to learn about it. I have knowned the song for many years but didnt know the story of it. Merci

To all the heroes of the French Resistance, and all those who fight tyranny and opression - eternal memory and glory.
J Gould - Brave men. Bless them.
Mostly communists
Thanks for the heroes of the French resistance. Several people of my family belonged to.
The Francs-Tireurs et Partisans Français[a] (FTPF), or commonly the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (FTP), was an armed resistance organization created by leaders of the French Communist Party during World War II (1939-45). The communist party was neutral at first, following the Soviet Union's official view that the war was a struggle between imperialists, but when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 changed to a policy of armed resistance against the German occupation of France. Three groups were formed, consisting of party members, young communists and foreign workers. Early in 1942 they were merged to form the FTP, which undertook sabotage and assassinations of the occupation. The FTP became the best organized and most effective of the French Resistance groups. In March 1944, before the Allied forces returned to Normandy, the FTP was theoretically merged with the other Resistance groups. In practice, it retained its independence until the end of the war.
@@bryanholden1558 I'm no communist but those men and women had the guts to fight and often they paid with their lives.
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

Oui Leonard, inoubliable... et quel guitariste ! Trop émouvant. Un morceau à honorer en tant que Français.
Pas seulement en tant que français. En la reinterpretant en anglais, léonard Cohen l'a rendue universelle. n'importe quel autre pays pourrait s'y retrouver .

Cher Leonard, nous avons encore besoin de partisans de la liberté,

j'en ai des frissons, tellement cette chanson et la musique sont belles
Suaf que que les victimes d'hier sont devenus les bourreaux d'aujourd hui.
Les victimes ,dont je parle sont tout simplement celles de ma barbarie nazie; ce statut ne peut en aucun cas leur être retiré. Je pense que vous faites allusion à la politique israëlienne actuelle à l'égard des arabes et là effectivement il y'a matière à discuter. Mais il faut ,je pense faire la différence entre un gouvernement et son peuple . Gardons nous bien des généralités simplistes et dangereuses qui ne nourrissent que la haine. Il faut faire la part des choses et être plus nuancé dans ses propos , mais , il est vrai que çà demande un certain effort, voire un effort certain ce que n'exigent pas les extrémistes d'où qu'ils soient.
Faire la différence entre un gouvernement et son peuple très très important
Tellement d emotion les larmes aux yeux n oublions pas la fragilite de la vie. Christian.marruchi@gmail.com
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
my prayers are with you
Francois Mitterrand a rejoint le Général de Gaulle ????? Et à Plestin les Grèves en Bretagne ???
A touching novella and a great homage to all, who fight for peace and freedom. Leonard Cohen unforgettable.
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......

Hommage à mon père, grand "Résistant" engagé volontaire à 17 ans en 1941 à la 13 ième DBLE de la Légion Etrangère, compagnon d'arme et de combat d'Hubert Germain à El Alamein, Bir Hakem - Campagnes de Lybie, Tunisie, d'Italie, de Provence et aux combats de la 1re armée française remontant vers l'Allemagne. Il ira jusque dans les rizières d'Indochine, où il sera gravement blessé à Claudine à Dien Bien Phu.
Comme en 1939, ils seront abandonné aux mains des Vietmins, et trahi en Algérie , lui et ses compagnons d'armes par les divers gouvernements de la République Française.
Il refusera tous les Honneurs de la République, le titre de Compagnon de la Libération, ne participera à aucune commémoration officielle de la Libération, sauf aux cérémonies de souvenirs et aux prises d'armes de sa Patrie la Légion Etrangère. Légio Patria Nostra....car eux, Hommes de Valeurs et d'Honneurs, ignoraient la trahison, eux qui ont souffert et offert leur vie pour avoir cru en une parole reniée et à des engagements trahis. Seul le drapeau de son régiment couvrira son cercueil
Moi aussi. 😢

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.
Merci pour votre témoignage 😊❤
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 ,
Mr. Cohen, you are in our hearts. Forever till the end of time.
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

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.
I saw his last concert in Paris as well. Probably the same tour. The only time I saw him live.

@@realist8977 creo que este concierto forma parte de la gira mundial que hizo hacia 2009 o 2010 pues el gran guitarrista español, de Zaragoza, participó en ella.
Vi en vivo su actuación perteneciente a esta gira en Zaragoza y rindió un sentido homenaje a dicho guitarrista, que en esta pieza toca la bandurria, guitarra típica de la jota aragonesa, y al que asistiò toda su familia. Fue precioso e inolvidable.
Que tous les partisants t accompagne au paradis cher Leonard Cohen
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.

MAN I miss this incredible poet .
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.
One of the greatest poets of the 20th century. His adaption brings home what is the dreadful price of freedom.
Is the alternative any less dreadful ?
Ask the graves of those who paid that price.

I am Polish , and this song reminds me of thousands of Polish boys in their 20 who died fighting German and Russian oppressors. Where I come from, in every cemetery there are partisans mass graves. Every time I look at those rows of names I think about those young lives that have been cut so short.
Ничего, что русские угнетатели Польше прирезали треть немецких территорий? Может пора избавиться от угнетения русских и отказаться от тех земель, что русские вам подарили? А заодно извиниться перед чехами за Тешин, который вы поляки, вместе с Гитлером раздербанили, вы сами перед чехами тогда оккупантами небыли?

On pourra essayer de le reprendre mais jamais on n'arrivera à l'aura dégagée par Léonard Cohen!
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.
This is so amazing LC voice is so textured & what a band of musicians
Just beautiful

Le plus beau chant sur la Résistance magnifié par Léonard Cohen. Je faisais écouter cette chanson à mes élèves de 3° quand nous étudions la Seconde guerre mondiale. Toujours un moment d'émotion au service de la mémoire et si vous avez un doute sur l'existence de l'âme, abreuvez vous de Léonard Cohen, et vous serez rassuré sur la vôtre.
