Píseň: Blowin' In The Wind

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Sam Cooke At The Copa
How many roads must a man walk down
 Before he's called a man
 Tell me, how many seas must a white dove sail
 Before she sleeps in the sand?
 Tell me, how many times must the cannon balls fly
 Before they're forever banned?
 No, the answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
 The answer: blowin in the Wind.


 How many times must a man look above
 Before he sees the sky
 Tell me, how many ears must one man have
 before he can hear people cry
 what I wanna know is
 how many depths will it take till he knows
 too many people have died
 oh, the No, The answer, my friend, is blowin In the wind,
 The answer: somewhere in the the Wind.


 how many years can a mountain exist
 before it's washed out to the sea
 tell me: how many years can people exist
 before they are allowed to be free
 how many times can a man turn his head
 pretending that he just doesn't see
 oh, the answer, my friend, blowin in whe Wind,
 The answer: blowin in the wind.


 blowin' in the wind, blowin' in the wind
 the answer: somewhere in the wind
 that answer is somewhere in the wind
