今天,我给大家带来一首我最喜欢的英文歌曲。这首歌是我多年前无意中发现的,于是爱不释手,没事老哼哼;也已经听了无数遍了。
<blowing in the wind>(风中)是美国歌手鲍布迪伦的成名作,诞生于上世纪60年代,是著名的反战歌曲,把一首反战歌曲唱成像摇篮曲,正是他的成功之处。几十年来全球唱片的销售超过了1000万。
鲍布迪伦一生创作了500多首歌曲,其中很多被世界上的众多歌手翻唱,因此被公认为摇滚之父。他已经70多,却还是活跃在歌坛上。2011年还造访了中国,开了演唱会,因此中国歌坛对他亦不陌生。
下面是《blowing in the wind》(风中)的歌词。希望大家喜欢。
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take
'Till he knows that too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
