How many roads must a man walk down
Pila gid baea ka daean ro maagya't sangka eaki
Before you call him a man?
Bag-o imaw matawag nga eaki?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Pila gid baea ka eawod ro maeuparan it puting salampati
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Bag-o imaw katueog sa baeas?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Huo, ag pila gid baea ka beses mag-eupad ro bala't kanyon
Before they're forever banned?
Bag-o ra ipagbawae?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
Ro sabat, amigo, hay gaanod sa hangin,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Ro sabat hay gaanod sa hangin.
Yes, 'n' how many years can a mountain exist
Huo, ag pila gid baeang dag-o ro bukid magtiner
Before it's washed to the sea?
Bag-o ra maanod sa dagat?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Huo, ag pila gid baea nga dag-on ro ibang tawo nga mabuhi
Before they're allowed to be free?
Bag-o ra sanda makaagum it kahilwayan?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Huo, ag pila gid baea ro tawo maglingot,
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
Ag magkuno-kuno nga indi imaw kakita?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
Ro sabat, amigo, hay gaanod sa hangin
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Ro sabat hay gaanod sa hangin.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Ro sabat hay gaanod sa hangin.
Yes, 'n' how many times must a man look up
Huo, ag pilang beses gid baea magtanga ro tawo
Before he can see the sky?
Bag-o imaw makakita it eangit?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Huo, ag pila gid baea ro dueonggan it tawo
Before he can hear people cry?
Bag-o imaw makabati it tangis it pumueoyo?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
Huo, ag pila gid nga mga kamatayon bag-o masayran na
That too many people have died?
Nga kaabu-abu eo't a ro nagkaeamatay?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
Ro sabat, amigo, hay gaanod sa hangin,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Ro sabat hay gaanod sa hangin.
