Donna Donna Songtext

On a wagon bound for market There's a calf with a mournful eye High above him there's a swallow Winging swiftly through the sky CHORUS: All the winds are laughing They laugh with all their might Laugh & laugh the whole day through & Half the summer's night Donna Donna Donna Donna Donna Donna Donna Don Donna Donna Donna Donna Donna Donna Donna Don "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 & free?" (chorus) Calves are easily bound & slaughtered Never knowing the reason why But whoever treasures freedom Like the swallow has learned to fly? (chorus)
