Capolavori di poesia contemporanea: Bob Dylan, Blowin' in the wind, 1963, nelle versioni cover della georgiana Katie Melua (2006)...



... e perfino Elvis Presley nel 1966...



... e infine la sua mitica compagna di un tempo Joan Baez nel 1963...



... e a metà degli anni sessanta vi si cimentò con il suo stile originale anche Stevie Wonder...



... per concludere in bellezza con l'originale!



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 cannonballs fly
Before theyre 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 its 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.
