Bob Dylan ao sabor do vento.

Estamos apenas na primeira música do segundo álbum e já Bob Dylan lançava uma obra prima que se viria a tornar maior que ele mesmo. Blowin' In The Wind foi escrita, segundo o próprio autor, em dez minutos e encarna a dúvida existencial. Do homem, da natureza e da sociedade. Sendo um dos dois 'singles' do álbum The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, este seria o primeiro grande sucesso do cantor. A música viria a ser interpretada por inúmeros artistas ao longo dos anos e simboliza o início da veia poética pela qual Dylan viria a ser conhecido e reconhecido durante os anos vindouros.

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man

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

Yes, 'n' 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

And pretend that he just doesn't see

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, 'n' 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
