Blowing in the Wind
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
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?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretend that 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 see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
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.

被譽(yù)為“民謠皇帝”的Bob Dylan成名于1960年代,并被廣泛認(rèn)為是美國六十年代反叛文化的代言人。他的成名曲正是出版于1963年的這首在反戰(zhàn)抗議和民權(quán)運(yùn)動中被廣泛傳唱的曲目Blowing in The Wind(隨風(fēng)而飄)。
時值22歲青春年華的Dylan,單純、帥氣,眼神迷人,卻具有一把和他的年齡絕不相稱的,仿佛60歲老頭的沙啞嗓子,一把木吉他,胸前掛著一把口琴,剛從大學(xué)退學(xué),混在當(dāng)?shù)孛裰{圈子里自顧自地唱著他心愛的歌。
