Hi everyone! I'm Paloma again, and tonight I have a very special song for you to listen at! It was composed by the unique and wonderful Bob Dylan; it's called Blowin' In The Wind. I've chosen this song due to its great message, a call to the humanity to see all the injustices that are being made day by day. What Bob says in this song it's the sad truth, people always pretend not to see all the bad things that happen around them, as long as this things don't affect them.
 To sum up, all you have to do is pay special attention to the lyrics and then fill in the gaps with the missing word. I'm going to put a video which has subtitles, so you have an extra clue, you will know the word in Spanish.
Now... let's start!

How many _____ must a man walk down
Before you call him a _____?
Yes, 'n' how many ______ must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls ______
Before they're _______ banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man _______ up
Before he can see the _______?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can _____ people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he _______
That too many_____ have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a ________exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some _______ exist
Before they're allowed to be _____?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his _______,
Pretending he _____ doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

So... that's all my friends! I hope you've really enjoyed this song, and try to think a little about the message, about what Dylan tried to express.
Bye!
