Bob Dylan - Blowin' in the wind

HOW MANY ROADS MUST A MAN WALK DOWN?

Recordamos el 75 cumpleaños de Bob Dylan con la que seguramente es su composición más emblemática, Blowin' in the wind, que el cantautor neoyorquino escribió en 1962, apareciendo como single al año siguiente y en su segundo álbum de estudio, "The freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963). Descrita en su día como 'canción protesta', no tardó en convertirse en multitudinario himno generacional de los movimientos antibélicos y por los derechos civiles.

Blowin' in the wind  (lyrics)

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can really see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
