Odnešen(o) vjetrom

Pet dana nakon što je muzičar i pjesnik Bob Dylan proglašen za dobitnika Nobelove nagrade za književnost, niko ne zna šta on misli o tome, pa ni sudije u Nobelovom komitetu.

Švedska akademija, koja dodjeljuje nagrade, saopštila je da nije mogla da stupi u kontakt s Dylanom otkada je, prošlog četvrtka, proglašen dobitnikom.

Odnešen(o) vjetrom

Koliko dugo čovjek lutat će svud

Prije no pronađe put?

Kolika mora ptice će let 

Parati ne znajuć kud?

Koliko dugo će topova zvuk

Bolni širiti muk?

Odgovor, vjetra je odnio dah

Vjetar je odnio sve.

 

Koliko čovjek će upirat vid

U nebo, dok ne spazi dom?

Koliko ušiju potrebno je

Da srca začuje slom?

Koliko mrtvih, još na zemlji toj

Da shvati — prevelik je broj?

Odgovor, vjetra je odnio dah

Vjetar je odnio sve.

Koliko dug planine je vijek

Dok mora je ne spere val?

Koliko dug je čovjeku vijek

Dok ne slomi ropstvo i jal?

Zar vječno će jasni skretati vid

Glumit da ne vidi zid?

Odgovor, vjetra je odnio dah

Vjetar je odnio sve.

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.

(Bob Dylan)
