Blowin' In The Wind
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.

Ouvi esta canção pela primeira vez num disco de um amigo que o recebera da India, em 65 ou 66 - era o tempo em que começávamos a assentar os pés no chão minado da descoberta da realidade do país em que vivíamos. E as palavras continuam a fazer sentido para muitos milhões.
Actualmente, os jovens, nem calculam o que esta canção ( e outras ), representou no início da década de 60.No contexto da época, eram sinais de mudança.Em casa de meus pais, ouviam-se tangos, fados e valsas...Que bucólico...M.A.A.
