Joan Baez - Blowin' in the wind

Hoy, si esta canción dice la verdad, es un día para encontrar respuestas. Respuestas que irán flotando en el viento a 140 km/h.

Se trata de una canción de compromiso social escrita por Bob Dylan e interpretada por la neoyorkina nacida en 1941 Joan Baez. La canción se compuso en 1963 y trataba entre líneas de criticar el conflicto de Vietnam.

Lo cierto es que es una canción que me encanta y hoy que todo el mundo habla del viento, me dio por recordarla aquí. Se trata de Blowin' in the wind.

Os dejo ya con la canción, cantada por una Joan Baez jovencita, y os recomiendo encarecidamente que prestéis atención a la letra...



Y la letra:


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 cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing 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
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky

How many years 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 blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
