Blowing in the wind…

Uma das canções mais emblemáticas dos anos 60, obra do poeta do rock Robert Zimmerman, mais conhecido por Bob Dylan.

Hino utilizado na luta que a juventude americana e todo o mundo iniciaram, e ganharam, para terminar a nefasta Guerra do Vietname.



Aos 21 anos, Bob Dylan compõe a música “Blowin’ in the Wind”… 1962... Tempos de crise, guerras, discriminação racial e religiosa, conflitos sociais, violência, ódio...



A letra levanta uma série de questões filosóficas sobre a paz, a guerra, a compaixão, a liberdade.


É o enfoque de esperança com que são tratados estes temas transcendentes e intemporais, que permite conservar a sua vigência mais de 40 anos depois...


How many roads must a man walk down, before they call him a man?

Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand?

And 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…


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?

Yes, and how many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free?

And, 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…


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?

Yes, and how many ears must one man have, before he can hear people cry?

And how many deaths will it take ‘till he knows, that too many people are dying?

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

The answer is blowing in the wind…

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

The answer is blowing in the wind…



The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

The answer is blowing in the wind…
