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 how the wind are laughing
They're laughing with all their might laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna Donna

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 wind are laughing
They're laughing with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night
Donna Donna
Donna Donna
Donna Donna
Donna Don
Donna Donna
Donna Donna
Donna Donna
Dona Don

Calve areeasily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
How the wind are laughing
They're laughing with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night
Donna Donna
Donna Donna
