How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
- un homme doit-il emprunter
- de le considérer un homme
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
- une colombe blanche doit-elle survoler
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
- interdits
- souffle dans le vent
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
- avant qu’elle ne soit balayée dans la mer
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
- autorisés
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
- tourner la tête = détourner son regard
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 died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
- regarder vers le haut / lever la tête
- pleurer
- faudra-t-il / (‘till = until)
