一個人要走遍多少路

才能鍊成男子漢

鴿子要飛越多少大海洋

才可歇睡沙灘上

炮彈還要飛多少次

才會永遠被禁制

朋友，答案隨風飄

隨風飄呀飄

再問，青山南北郭

經歷多少年才被沖刷到大海

再問，有些人要耽待多少歲月

才能重獲自由

再問，一個人能別轉面多少次

以假裝視一切而不見

朋友，答案隨風飄

隨風飄呀飄

又問，一個人要仰望多少次

才可看到天空

又問，一個人要有幾雙耳朵

又問，仍然要犧牲多少生命

才使某些人覺醒傷亡慘重

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?

Before they're forever banned?

The answer is blowin' in the wind

Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?

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?

Before he can hear people cry?

That too many people have died?

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