    这首歌的作者鲍勃.迪伦(Bob Dylan),1941年出生于美国明尼苏达州的一个有犹太血统的家庭。自幼喜爱音乐,60年代初,他从明尼苏达大学辍学来到纽约开始了他的歌唱生涯。1964年,他以一曲《Blowing in the Wind》走红流行歌坛,渐渐成为民谣乐坛上的重要人物。60年代中后期,他的乐风突然发生了重大变化,从此他的歌曲不再被称为民谣而成了“民谣摇滚”。


    鲍勃.迪伦所写的歌曲旋律简洁优美、歌词质朴而富有哲理,充分表达了他对社会的看法和对政治的见解,因而被人们誉为“出色的诗人、尖刻的社会评论家、反主流文化的勇敢旗手”。摇滚乐这种令年轻人狂热的音乐形式在鲍勃.迪伦的手里增加了表现宗教、死亡、爱情、政治等问题的内涵。他的作品使人们意识到摇滚乐和诗歌、小说一样是直率的、个性的、有生命力的。如果说猫王在50年代赋予摇滚乐以生命,那么也可以说鲍勃.迪伦在60年代赋予了摇滚乐以灵魂。

    这首歌写于1964年,这也是被称为“美国民谣摇滚之父”的他所有创作歌曲中最优秀、最出名的一首。1957年越战爆发,美国把大量的人力、物力投向越南战场,结果造成了惨重的伤亡。于是美国社会内部掀起了一股反战热潮。与此同时,民歌也在全美各地校园流行起来,许多年青人利用创作民歌表达人民的呼声。这首歌因为迎合了当时的社会思潮,因而迅速风靡全世界:

    “一个人要仰望多少次
    他才能看见天空?
    一个人要有多少只耳朵
    他才能听见民众的呼喊?
    要牺牲多少生命
    他才能知道太多的人已经死去?
    答案啊,我的朋友,就飘在风中。
    答案就飘在风中。”


    

    Blowin'in the Wind歌词

    How many roads must a man walk down
    Before you call him a man?
    Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove 1 sail
    Before she sleeps in the sand?
    Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon 2 balls fly
    Before they're forever banned?
    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.

    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,
    Pretending he just doesn't see?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.
