A "Contracultura" nos anos 60...


"O tempo não se desdiz" como alguém já disse e sem ele...

À pressa só para deixar algumas referências, no terreno mais fácil: Joan Baez, Bob Dylan e "Woodstock".



Joan Baez : Diamonds And Rust Lyrics

Songwriters: N/A


Well, I'll be damned


Here comes your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

And you happened to call

And here I sit

Hand on the telephone

Hearing a voice I'd known

A couple of light years ago

Heading straight for a fall


As I remember your eyes

Were bluer than robin's eggs

My poetry was lousy you said

Where are you calling from?

A booth in the Midwest

Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks

You brought me something

We both know what memories can bring

They bring diamonds and rust


Well, you burst on the scene, already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon

The original vagabond

You strayed into my arms

And there you stayed

Temporarily lost at sea

The Madonna was yours for free

Yes, the girl on the half-shell

Could keep you unharmed


Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around

And snow in your hair

Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel

Over Washington Square

Our breath comes out white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me

We both could have died then and there


Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it

You who are so good with words

And at keeping things vague

'Cause I need some of that vagueness now

It's all come back too clearly

Yes, I once loved you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've already paid

Bob Dylan : Blowing In The Wind Lyrics

Songwriters: Dylan, Bob;



How many roads must a man walk down,


before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove fly,

before she sleeps in the sand?

And how many times must a cannon ball fly,

before they're forever banned?


The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.



How many years can a mountain exist,

before it is washed to the sea?

How many years can some people exist,

before they're allowed to be free?

And how many times can a man turn his head,

and pretend that he just doesn't see?



The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.


How many times must a man look up,

before he sees the sky?

And how many ears must one man have,

before he can hear people cry ?

And how many deaths will it take till we know,

that too many people have died?


The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.


The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.
