NO MORE AUCTION BLOCK FOR ME / BLOWIN’IN THE WIND

Canto popolare degli schiavi neri: “non più vendita all’asta per me, non più frustate, non più catene ai piedi”, ripreso da Odetta Holmes, cantante e ricercatrice afroamericana, e successivamente anche da Joan Baez.

In chiusura alcuni versi da un brano di Bob Dylan.

No more auction block for me, no more, no more. No more auction block for me, many thousands gone.

No more pint of salt for me, no more, no more. No more pint of salt for me, many thousands gone.

No more driver’s lash for me, no more, no more. No more driver’s lash for me, many thousands gone.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
