Bob Dylan 的歌聲,好在何處?

上周,讀者pun 來信,問到人的自覺為甚麼這
樣難。要到甚麼時候,人才會自覺一點。
李察先生: 我想問 究竟一個人怎樣才會自覺呢?
是否要媽媽死掉了,冇錢過活了,才知錯? by Chasn Pun
我們,總是喜歡掉過頭去,假裝甚麼都看不見。
Bob Dylan 的歌,唱了半個世紀。但人們仍是聽
不到。大約是他們沒有留意歌詞。因為,Bob Dylan
本人是作曲和作詞的高手,但他未必懂得唱歌。你很
難聽見,他唱的是甚麼。另外一隊好手是Peter Paul
and Mary. 這曲已經唱了五十年。你可以看看,他們
年青時是怎樣唱,年老時又是怎樣唱。你大約也能分
出,他們年青時的歌聲,有感情得多。到了老了,火
也消了,歌就軟了。
Bob Dylan 的歌詞,真是作得很好的。每一個隱
喻,每一處諷刺,非常到肉。李察曾經嘗試另外為此
曲配詞,但絕對追不上原文。只是,你如果試過,你
就會知道,原文有多精彩。李察的劣作附在後面,讀
者可以比對參考。
Bob Dylan 的歌詞原文:
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
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

Kisses Blowin' In the Wind
Lyric by Leechard
How many sexes will people have
Before they know what is love?
Yes, 'n' how many Jesus' will people refuse
Before they know what is a choice?
Yes, 'n' how many questions will people ask
Before they really wanted to know?
The answer, my friend, is right here in the mind
The answer is right here in the mind
(We knew it all, do we?)
How many kisses are blowin' in the wind
To nowhere but a loveless land?
Yes, 'n' how many people were on the road,
To nowhere but rotten and old?
Yes, 'n' how many times we turn our heads
Pretending that we are dead?
The answer, my friend, is right here in the mind
The answer is right here in the mind
(We knew it all, do we?)
How many heartbeats can I count
(big bog big bog big bog)
Before I know what is a mind?
Yes, 'n' how many books can I read
(read read and read)
Before I know all the hidden truth?
Yes, 'n' how many desires must I follow
(you go go go, you go go go)
Before I know where to go?
The answer, my friend, is right here in the mind
The answer is right here in the mind
(We knew it all, do we?)
peter paul and mary
blowin' in the wind
young peter paul and mary
blowin' in the wind
blowing in the wind with lyrics
