Peter Paul and Mary - Blowing in the Wind

Curiosa es la vida...ayer puse a Bob Dylan y hoy, tristemente tengo que poner esta versión de uno de sus temas más conocidos.

Cuando lei por la tarde que había muerto Mary Travers, no sabía quien era, después leyendo la noticia, descubri que pertenecía a esta banda Folk americana que abogo por la lucha de valores en la sociedad estadounidense (estamos hablando de epoca donde se buscaba el pacifismo, en contra de la guerra) a través de sus temas allá por los finales de los sesenta. Poco falto para que pusiese el Puf el dragón ...que me encanta, me recuerda a mi infancia, pero siempre es grato escuchar este temazo, o no?

Feliz Viernes...




"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 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 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."
