The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many roads must a man walk down,
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must cannonballs fly,
Before they're forever banned?

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 seas
How many years can some people exist,
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes and how many times must a man look up,
Before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes and 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

Paris

"Paris, c'était la gaieté, Paris

C'était la douceur aussi

C'était notre tendresse

Paris, tes gamins, tes artisans

Tes camelots et tes agents

Et tes matins de printemps

Paris, l'odeur de ton pavé d'oies

De tes marroniers du bois

Je pense à toi sans cesse

Paris, je m'ennuie de toi mon vieux

On se retrouvera tous les deux

Mon grand Paris"

Edith Piaf
