Blowin' in the Wind

Bob Dylan 著(Hsing Ying 譯 星 熒 譯)

 

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 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, 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 '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

 

隨風而散

星熒譯

 

一個人的坎坷路還要走多遠
你才能稱他是個男子漢?
白鴿必須要飛過多少海洋
她才能好好休息沉睡沙灘?
是啊!還會再有多少顆劃空飛過的砲彈
在它們永遠被禁以前?
我的朋友,答案正隨風而散!
答案隨風而散!
是啊!山崗還能存在多少年
在它被沖刷捲入海洋以前?
是啊!那些人還能生存多少年
在他們被准許獲得自由以前?
是啊!人還能把頭轉開多少次
假裝他甚麼都沒看見?
我的朋友,答案正隨風而散!
答案隨風而散!
是啊!人還須抬頭仰望多少次
在他能看到藍天以前?
是啊!人還須長多少隻耳朵
在他能聽見人民的哭泣以前?
是啊!還要再死多少人,他才會知道
人世間已有太多的生靈塗炭?
我的朋友,答案正隨風而散!
答案隨風而散!

【Note】: “Blowin' in the Wind”, by Bob Dylan, is one of his many most popular songs in early 1960s. I translated its lyrics into Chinese on October 30, 2016 to pay my respect to a song writer, singer, poet, and the Nobel Prize winner in literature of 2016. His songs touched our hearts in those troubling years. To many of our generation, he is a great man with beautiful loving heart “Blowin' in The Wind”- Bob Dylan - YouTube
