Ce padlet a été conçu et réalisé avec l'aide technique et les conseils avisés de Madame K. Heymes, que je remercie ici, et que je 'dédouane' quant à la mise en page, peut-être trop 'linéaire', et qui m'en incombe entièrement, pour/dans une volonté de lisibilité (?).
Padlet conçu et réalisé en Avril, pour commémorer le centenaire de la bataille de la Crête de Vimy et les sacrifices des troupes canadiennes (3600 morts en 4 jours, du 9 au 13 Avril 1917), ainsi que la libération du camp de concentration de Buchenwald par les troupes américaines, le 11 Avril 1945.

Dans un premier temps, prenez une feuille et notez-y  les mots que vous comprenez (tous -UNE TRENTAINE AU MOINS vous sont accessibles ... Non, Aymeric, pas ceux des dernières strophes en Français, petit malin ! ). Essayez d'en tirer un champ lexical.
La musique peut-elle vous aider à déduire l'ambiance ? En quoi, par quel moyen l'auteur parvient-il à la faire passer ?

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.

The original text says : "On nous oubliera, nous rentrerons dans l'ombre", whereas the English/Cohen('s) version says : "Then we'll come from the shadows". Can you understand the difference of meaning between these two lines ?
One possible answer could begin like this : The French lines are more ........        t _ _ n the English one.
But don't let that example trouble you, if you can't see what I mean, find your own way of saying it.

Doesn't the line/verse "Through the graves the wind is blowing" remind you of another poem ?

The text says "The Germans", which is understandable, due to the time, the period when it was first written ; but, shouldn't actually another word be used (instead of 'Germans') ?

The original text went thus : "J'ai repris mon arme", but Joan Baez, who was a famous American folk singer who was a militant for Peace and who, for example, protested against (the) war in Vietnam, changed it to : "J'ai repris mon âme", hence, in English, a change from 'I retook my ..." to "I retook my ...".
A similar thing happened in another song, in which the words "Prévenez vos gendarmes que j'emporte des armes, et que je sais tirer" have been replaced by "Prévenez vos gendarmes que je n'aurai pas d'armes, et qu'ils pourront tirer."
What is the title of this song ? Who wrote it ? Who changed the words ? Which version do you think is the most powerful, the strongest ? Why ? (think about an answer in French ; of course, an answer in English would be 'accepted'  ;-) ... )

# data[].attributes.body
- "I was cautioned to ..." is a little like "I was advised/warned to ..."
- "vanished" (l.4) : "disappeared" would be an equivalent ;
'vanished' = 'disappeared'
- shelter : abri.
- a garret : une mansarde, un grenier.

What do the lines/verses "There were three of us this morning, I'm the only one this evening" (l. 1& 2, fourth stanza) imply ? Can you explain ?

A netsurfer/web user posted this comment about these lines/verses ["There were three of us (...) this evening."] :
"What a great line, so decent ... Leonard rules!"

Do you see/understand/feel what makes these lines 'great', as placebist put(s) it ?
Can't this figure of style be found somewhere else in the text ? (a hint : if the teacher uses 'somewhere' in a question, it means that the answer should be ... 'Yes' ;-)

Why does he say he has 'changed his name so often' ?

# data[].attributes.subject
Why does he say he has 'changed his name so often' ?

# data[].attributes.body
a) because he had many names in order not to be recognized by the Nazis.
b) because he was a Spanish or Portuguese Partisan (was known under his mother's and his father's family names).
c) because he had to translate his name when he crossed the borders of foreign countries.
d) because this story may represent/ the lives and stories of many partisans.

(a second answer may be accepted as a possible interpretation)

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 m'ont dit "Résigne-toi"
mais je n'ai pas pu
j'ai repris mon arme

J'ai changé cent fois de nom (I have changed names a hundred times)
j'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)
mais j'ai tant d'amis (But I have so many friends)
j'ai la France entière (I have all of France)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)
pour la nuit nous a cachés (Hid us for the night)
les Allemands l'ont pris (The Germans captured him)
il est mort sans surprise (He died without 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.

What Leonard Cohen said about this song :     I learned this from a friend when I was 15. He was 17. His father was a union organizer. We were working at a camp in Ste.Marguerite, Quebec. We sang together every morning, going through The People’s Song Book from cover to cover. I developed the curious notion that the Nazis were overthrown by music.                       When asked about this song : My personal “mythology” for bravery and courage is filled with the Spanish Civil War, the French Resistance  ... and the concentration camps. They might be forgotten by the younger generation but I think the emotions are still valid, and I wanted to again introduce into the air the energy and the emotions these experiences left. I believe it’s useful.(Interview, “R & F”, 1970)                               This is a song of Resistance. It was written a long time ago,about someone’s grandparents, about your grandparents. But this song for me is an allegory for Resistance.(Frankfurt ‘74)
