blowing in the wind

BLOWING IN THE WIND (Bob Dylan)

How many roads must
a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas
must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' 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 times
must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears
must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' 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.

How many years
can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years
can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' 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.


Ieri, 9/05/07, il prof. di multiculturalità ha detto che ha conosciuto degli studenti americani che non conoscono Bob Dylan! Allora ho pensato di mettere nel mio blog una delle canzoni di Dylan più significative e - purtroppo - ancora attualissima.
Ditemi che la conoscete! Vi supplico!!!

p.s. inserirò altri testi meno conosciuti, ma altrettanto significativi, almeno per me, visto che mi hanno permesso di imparare la lingua inglese.
