Bob Dylan, the answer is blowin' in the wind

Tras la concesión a Bob Dylan del Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Artes, un premio cuya relevancia la da el premiado y no el galardón, el autor de esta entrada, y supongo que la colectividad que se encuentra bajo Destripando Terrones, condena la concesión del mismo y proclama la genialidad del cantautor. No hay mayor gloria para Dylan que las letras de sus canciones, sin necesidad de tanta oficialidad. Y para demostrarlo un pequeño homenaje con la versión de Katie Melua de “Blowin’ in the wind”, una de las mejores canciones de Dylan, una de las mejores canciones de la historia de la música.

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,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before its washed to the sea?
Yes, n how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.
