Blowin' in the wind

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 cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

人は幾つの道を歩けばいいの、
大人になったと言われるまでに？
白い鳩は幾つの海を渡ればいいの、
なぎさで休むまでに？
砲弾は幾つ飛べばいいの、
永遠に禁止されるまでに？
友よ、答えは風になって吹いている
答えは風になって吹いている 

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.

人は幾たび見上げればいいの、
空が見えるまでに？
人は幾つの耳をもてばいいの、
人々の泣き声を聞けるまでに？
幾つの死が続くのか、
数え切れない人の死に気づくまでに？
友よ、答えは風になって吹いている
答えは風になって吹いている 

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.

山は、何年在り続くの、
海に洗われるまでに？
人は、何年生き続けるの、
自由が許されるまでに？
人は、何度振り返ることができるの、
なにも見えない振りをして？
友よ、答えは風になって吹いている
答えは風になって吹いている
