BLOWIN' IN THE WIND | IT-TWEĠIBA HIJA DAQQA FIL-RIĦ |
| |
How many roads must a man walk down | Toroq kemm trid raġel timxi isfel |
Before you call him a man? | Qabel ma inti jsejjaħ lilu raġel? |
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail | Ibħra f'kemm għandhom bajda gamiema isalpaw |
Before she sleeps in the sand? | Qabel ma hi ikun sospiż fir-ramel? |
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly | Iva, u kif ħafna drabi għandha l-blalen kanun jtajru |
Before they're forever banned? | Qabel ma huma qed pprojbiti għal dejjem? |
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, | It-tweġiba, ħabib tiegħi, hija daqqa fil-riħ |
The answer is blowin' in the wind. | It-tweġiba hija daqqa fil-riħ. |
| |
How many times must a man look up | Iva, u snin f'kemm jistgħu a tal-muntanja jeżistu |
Before he can see the sky? | Qabel ma huwa maħsul lill-baħar? |
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have | Iva, u snin f'kemm jistgħu xi nies jeżistu |
Before he can hear people cry? | Qabel ma huma qed jitħallew ikunu ħielsa? |
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows | Iva, u drabi f'kemm jistgħu raġel ixgħel ras tiegħu |
That too many people have died? | U tippretendi li hu eżatt ma tissodisfax ara? |
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, | It-tweġiba, ħabib tiegħi, hija daqqa fil-riħ |
The answer is blowin' in the wind. | It-tweġiba hija daqqa fil-riħ. |
| |
How many years can a mountain exist | Iva, u kif ħafna drabi għandha raġel tfittex |
Before it's washed to the sea? | Qabel ma huwa jkun jista jara l-ajru uniku? |
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist | Iva, u f'kemm widnejn għandu bniedem wieħed jkollu |
Before they're allowed to be free? | Qabel ma hu tista ' tisma ' nies tibki? |
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, | Iva, u f'kemm imwiet se jkun jieħdu 'till dan ikun jaf |
Pretending he just doesn't see? | Li hemm wisq nies mietu? |
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, | It-tweġiba, ħabib tiegħi, hija daqqa fil-riħ |
The answer is blowin' in the wind. | It-tweġiba hija daqqa fil-riħ. |
