画像引用(http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7385039/bob-dylan-birthday-playlist-rare-songs)
How many roads must a man walk down
一体どれだけの道を歩けば
Before you can call him a man?
人だと認められるのだろう
How many seas must a white dove sail
一体どれだけの海を渡れば
Before she sleeps in the send?
白い鳩は砂浜で休めるのだろう
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
一体どれだけの砲弾が飛び交えば
before they're forever banned?
永遠に禁止されるのだろう
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
その答えは、友よ、風に吹かれている
The answer is blowin' in the wind
その答えは風に吹かれている
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
一体どれだけの時が経てば
Before it is washed to the sea?
山は海に流されるのだろう
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
一体どれだけの時を生きれば
Before they're allowed to be free?
人は自由になれるのだろう
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
一体人はどれだけ振り向きながら
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
見て見ぬ振りをせねばならないのだろう
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
その答えは、友よ、風に吹かれている
The answer is blowin' in the wind
その答えは風に吹かれている
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
一体どれだけ見上げれば
Before he can really see the sky?
人は空を見渡せるのだろう
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
一体どれだけの耳があれば
Before he can hear people cry?
人は人々の泣き声が聞こえるのだろう
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
一体どれだけの人が死ねば
That too many people have died?
人は多くの人々が死んだと分かるのだろう
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
その答えは、友よ、風に吹かれている
The answer is blowin' in the wind
その答えは風に吹かれている
一言
メッセージ性が強く、とても詩的な歌詞です。(歌詞も詩ですが)
メロディーも美しいですが、歌詞を改めて読んでみるとまた違った印象を受けますね。
