鲍勃·迪伦:在风中飘荡


在风中飘荡
鲍勃·迪伦

一个人要走过啊多少的路,
他才能被称为大丈夫?
一只白鸽要渡过啊多少海洋,
它才能安睡在沙滩上?
那些炮弹要飞过啊多少次,
它们才能被永远拦住?
答案哪,朋友,在风中飘荡,
答案在风中飘荡。

一座山要存立啊多少载,
它才能被冲进大海?
一些人要存活啊多少年数,
他们才能被允许解脱?
一个人要转过啊多少次脸,
他才能装作看不见?
答案哪,朋友,在风中飘荡,
答案在风中飘荡。

一个人要抬头啊多少次,
他才能看见那穹苍?
一个人要有啊多少只耳朵,
他才能听见人们在哭泣?
要发生多少场死亡他才能知道
已经有太多人死去?
答案哪,朋友,在风中飘荡,
答案在风中飘荡。

Blowin’ in the Wind
By Bob Dylan

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 they’re 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 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

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

面对战火频仍的时代,有许多呐喊和呼吁。“答案在风中飘荡”,是的。但不是歌曲中悲凉的风,而是真正吹进人灵魂的风,回归创造之主,那唯一的风:

『风随着自己的意思吹,你听见风的响声,
却不晓得从哪里来,往哪里去;
凡从圣灵生的,也是如此。』
(约翰福音3:8)
