GARCIA REYES CESAR AUGUSTO
Es una popular canción compuesta por Bob Dylan, la cual se convirtió casi inmediatamente en un clásico de la música norteamericana y también en todo el mundo. Fue incluida en el álbum The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, editado el 27 de mayo de 1963.
Es descrita como una canción protesta, que contiene una serie de preguntas retóricas sobre la paz, la guerra y la libertad, no haciendo referencia a ningún evento específico.
En 1999 fue introducida en el Grammy Hall of Fame y en 2004 la revista Rolling Stone la consideró la decimocuarta mejor canción de todos los tiempos. En junio de 1962, la canción fue publicada en la revista "Sign Out!".
Letra de la canción:
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,
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.
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.
Y e aqui un comentario de Bob Dylan sobre esta canción: “Creo que entre el gran número de criminales que existe, se pueden contar los que vuelven la cara cuando ven el mal y saben que es el mal. Yo no tengo más que veintiún años y sé que se han hecho ya demasiadas guerras; ustedes, los que tienen más, lo deberíais saber mejor aún. Ahora la mejor forma de responder a las preguntas de la canción, es exponerlas”.
