about this song
"The Partisan" ("La Complainte du Partisan") is a song about the French Resistance in World War II. The song was written in 1943 in London by Anna Marly and Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie. It has been adapted (with English lyrics by Hy Zaret) and covered by diverse artists, including Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie, 16 Horsepower, Red Union, Po' Girl, Branimir Štulić and Electrelane. It is often confused with the Chant des Partisans, which became the unofficial anthem of the French Resistance.
