Donna Donna

Donna Donna

    On a wagon¹ bound for market
    there's a calf² with a mournful eye.
    High above him there's a swallow
    Winging swiftly through the sky.
    How the winds are laughing!
    They laugh with all their might.
    Laugh and laugh
    The whole day through
    And half the summer's night.
    Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~
    Stop complaining, said the farmer,
    Who told you a calf to be?
    Why don't you have wings to fly with
    Like the swallow so proud and free?
    How the winds are laughing.
    They laugh with all their might,
    Laugh and laugh
    The whole day through
    Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~
    Calves are easily bound
    And slaughtered,
    Never knowing the reason why.
    But whoever treasures freedom
    Like a swallow has learned to fly?
    How the winds are laughing.
    They laugh with all their might,
    Laugh and laugh
    The whole day through
    Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~~
