BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

 

Οι στίχοι του βραβευμένου με Νόμπελ Λογοτεχνίας Bob Dylan εκφράζουν έναν νέο τρόπο της αμερικανικής μουσικής παράδοσης.  Γι' αυτό οι Έλληνες πολλές φορές δεν αντιλαμβανόμαστε τα βαθύτερα νοήματα.  Παρ όλ αυτά,  ανάμεσα στα δεκάδες τραγούδια που έγραψε, ξεχωρίζουν τραγούδια που αγαπήσαμε είτε για τη μουσική είτε για τους στίχους, είτε και για τα δύο.  Μελετώντας τον Bob Dylan ξεχώρισα το γνωστό τραγούδι του 1963 Blowin' in the Wind. Σας αφιερώνω ..............

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's 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
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can 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 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
