Bob Dylan - Blowin' In The Wind Lyrics






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, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

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

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and 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, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

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

Bob Dylan Blowin' In The Wind Comments
  1. a.... o....

    Por favor quero ir em um show de vossa mafestade

  2. G.... 6....

    I can vividly remember actually sitting down to listen to this song. Only perhaps once or twice in my life when listening to a song could reduce me to awestruck wonder. This is one of them.....

  3. a.... g....

    To me, this is God's song.

  4. S.... S....

    Still listening 👂 to this in 2020 and still relevant to this day

  5. J.... D....

    this doesn't rhyme

  6. S.... N....

    This is song writing at its finest !

  7. J.... G....

    The answer is still blowin in the wind in 2020

  8. T.... ....

    When I was 8 I got an iPod Shuffle for Christmas. My dad had already downloaded a bunch of songs to it for me and when I got to this one I instantly liked it, even though I had never heard it before and didn't know who it was by.

  9. h.... 6....

    I knew this song from Korean English reading book. I think Bob dylan deserve the Novel Prize, because his lyric is a beautiful literature. It's just my opinion..

  10. Z.... Z....

    This was not just a song but a message to humanity.

  11. T.... T....

    And my back on the right side going down my right arm still is hurting today, though slightly less than before I took muscle relaxers and Vicodin. Coincidentally today was also the day of our first ukulele recital at the senior center. And though my back is messed up, its usually the lower back that goes out- not midway on the right side. I really think God is trying to tell me something there. But at least I can move and type right?

  12. M.... L....

    I am Italiannnnnn

  13. T.... T....

    The greatest musician I ever saw was in the basement of a restaurant while hitchhiking through Libby Montana years ago. The store owner in the building above the basement told me that there was live music and I didn't have anything to do that night, so I came back and sure enough there was this guy who could blow away Stevie Ray Vaughn. The audience consisted of me and his girlfriend and mother. That was it. Blew my mind. It was the most awesome demonstration of musical talent I'd ever seen. For free. In a basement in Montana with 2 other people. Them's the cards for ya, ain't it?

  14. T.... T....

    See it ain't about skill, but about "luck"- however it ain't "luck" if the Devil itself is dealing all the cards. That's just fucking rigged.

  15. T.... T....

    Is the reason that God gave you so much is because it loves 1 percent (or less) of the people, or that it hates 99 percent (or more)? You know what they sponsor skateboarders for? Not because they were the greatest in the world but because it keeps the other 99 percent of them dreaming that they could be the greatest in the world. But the best musician in still some guy sitting on a corner panhandling for quarters or playing to his grandchildren on the porch, and the best skateboarder was still some unknown with bearings that barely roll and some chipped up old board. You ain't got to tell me twice who R.L. Burnside is ya know? Ever been to Burnside in Portland?

  16. S.... ....

    Can anyone here confirm whether or not this is the original 1963 version?

  17. J.... V....

    best of the best

  18. F.... O....

    It's REALLY DYLAN!!😱😱😱💙💙💙

  19. M.... L....

    The answer is blowin' in the wind...

  20. H.... J....

    This will be the song of the decade

  21. C.... M....

    Essa música é fabulosa!!!

  22. F.... O....

    Article 15

  23. A.... D....

    Boa...sempre boa para se ouvir em todos os momentos.

  24. L.... P....

    I don't know him But after listening to this song, I miss him.

  25. T.... T....

    Though they may yell and scream and talk to themselves, dream big dreams that will never come true (and have statistically less chance of occurring than space aliens landing and trying to communicate with us) and may not ever win no matter how much they would try and want it to happen, the White House Peace Vigil was a sign that not everyone in the world had gone completely insane, not the opposite.

    How many roads must a man walk down
    사람은 얼마나 많은 길을 걸어 봐야
    Before you call him a man
    진정한 인생을 깨닫게 될까요
    How many seas must the white dove sail
    흰 비둘기는 얼마나 많은 바다 위를 날아 봐야
    Before she sleeps in the sand
    백사장에 편안히 잠들 수 있을까요
    And how many times must the cannonballs fly
    전쟁의 포화가 얼마나 많이 휩쓸고 나서야
    Before they are forever banned
    세상에 영원한 평화가 찾아올까요 친구여,
    The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
    그건 바람만이 알고 있어요
    The answer is blowing in the wind
    그건 바람만이 대답할 수 있답니다
    How many years can a mountain exist
    얼마나 많은 세월이 흘러야
    Before it washed to the sea
    높은 산이 씻겨 내려 바다로 흘러갈까요
    How many years can some people exist
    얼마나 많은 세월이 흘러야
    Before they're allowed to be free
    사람들은 진정한 자유를 얻을 수 있을까요
    And how many times can a man turn his head
    언제까지 고개를 돌려
    And pretend that he just doesn't see
    모르는 척할 수 있을까요
    The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
    친구여, 그건 바람만이 알고 있어요
    The answer is blowing in the wind
    그건 바람만이 대답할 수 있답니다
    How many times must a man look up
    얼마나 많이 올려다보아야
    Before he can see the sky
    진짜 하늘을 볼 수 있을까요
    How many ears must one man have
    얼마나 오랜 세월을 살아야
    Before he can hear people cry
    다른 사람의 울음소리를 들을 수 있을까요
    And how many deaths will it take till he knows
    얼마나 많은 사람이 희생되어야
    That too many people have died
    무고한 사람들이 너무 많이 죽었음을 깨달을까요
    The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
    친구여, 그건 바람만이 알고 있어요
    The answer is blowing in the wind
    그건 바람만이 대답할 수 있답니다

    How many Counterfeit Bob Dylan's must one endure on YT before one stumbles happily upon the real one! What bliss to hear that unmistakable voice again!

  28. J.... D....

    Época maravilhosa , não me canso de ouvir está musica

  29. n.... ....

    Why somuch why

  30. D.... S....

    People stressing about the fact that Dylan was only 20 years old when he wrote this song.

    Dude I was only 13 when I heard this song.

  31. L.... V....

    Do any of u think this is about the holy.spirit?

  32. I.... F....

    Great song. I learned this song off by heart.

  33. c.... c....

    I love this song. It is one of the most beautiful ...💗

  34. M.... C....

    Big Bob Dylan.

  35. J.... G....

    My son this is the most important song you will ever hear....

  36. G.... S....

    This is my favorite Bob Dylan song (followed by Desolation Row)

  37. T.... M....

    23 times.

  38. d.... f....

    I have a feeling Bob Dylan is one of those blowhards who refers to himself in the third person.
    “How many teeth does Bob Dylan have to brush before Bob Dylan’s teeth are clean?”

  39. L.... K....

    what's the purpose of the rhetorical questions in this song?

    L.... K....

    Aloud wondering how much more suffering must happen until we can set aside our differences for good. Blowing in the wind probably means that we all know what we need to do, we just won't do it. So it's just blowing in the wind.

  40. d.... f....

    How many satanic rituals must Bob Dylan attend, before he gives it up and resides away somewhere in an inconspicuously corner, and stops being a whore to money.

  41. d.... f....

    How many souls must Bob Dylan sell before he has enough money and decides to stop trying to sell more of his jew souls he doesn’t have any more of?

  42. E.... C....

    Assisti o filme !

  43. C.... A....

    Güzel şarkı

  44. S.... M....

    i have this on vinyl :) ... so many memories of my mother playing this ... on repeat :P

  45. A.... C....

    And how many songs like these will need to be sung before we get its real meaning? 😇❤️

  46. J.... L....

    Bob Dylan is Wright the
    Answer is you , You make
    The difference.

  47. H.... S....

    I failed my exam because of this song

    H.... S....

    unrated commentary haha

  48. S.... C....

    This song tuned my caged and brooding mind set, into a free flying bird over the mountains. Untouchable.

  49. S.... ....

    ...and just like that, for a few minutes, everything was ok.

  50. R.... R....

    How many cats in the alley must scream before we hear Bob Dylan

  51. M.... H....

    https://youtu.be/vIqy91UrFXE

  52. M.... Y....

    Why does this remind me of 'catch the wind' by Donovan?

  53. A.... S....

    Recently ' Sadhguru' said in his interview with karan johar that this is his favorite song. And that's how i came to know about this song, and heard it, and now love it.

  54. I.... 4....

    How many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever banned

  55. a.... a....

    Who else came here because of "Forest Gump "

  73. C.... ....

    Back when songs were 2min something long and didn't need to have crazy instrumental backgrounds and sound effects, just one person and a guitar and that was a hit for you. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about the evolution of music, I'm not the "boooh everything was better before" kind of person, I'm just saying nowadays' music industry could re-learn to enjoy a little simplicity too
