風に吹かれて Blowin' In The Wind

機銃掃射 strafing run

Bob Dylan

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.

どれほどの道を歩かねばならぬのか
男と呼ばれるために
どれほど鳩は飛び続けねばならぬのか
砂の上で安らげるために
どれほどの弾がうたれねばならぬのか
殺戮をやめさせるために
その答えは　風に吹かれて
誰にもつかめない

どれほど悠久の世紀が流れるのか
山が海となるには
どれほど人は生きねばならぬのか
ほんとに自由になれるために
どれほど首をかしげねばならぬのか
何もみてないというために
その答えは　風に吹かれて
誰にもつかめない

どれほど人は見上げねばならぬのか
ほんとの空をみるために
どれほど多くの耳を持たねばならぬのか
他人の叫びを聞けるために
どれほど多くの人が死なねばならぬのか
死が無益だと知るために
その答えは　風に吹かれて
誰にもつかめない
