Lyrics

0:13On a wagon bound for market
0:18There's a calf with a mournful eye
0:22High above him there's a swallow
0:26Winging swiftly through the sky
0:30How the winds are laughing
0:34They laugh with all their might
0:38Laugh and laugh
0:40The whole day through
0:42And half the summer's night
0:47Donna Donna Donna Donna
0:50Donna Donna Donna Do
0:55Donna Donna Donna Donna
0:59Donna Donna Donna Do
1:13Stop complaning said the farmer
1:18Who told you a calf to be
1:22Why don't you have winging to fly with
1:26Like the swallow so proud and free
1:30How the winds are laughing
1:34They laugh with all there might
1:38Laugh and laugh
1:40The whole day through
1:42And half the summer's night
1:46Donna Donna Donna Donna
1:50Donna Donna Donna Do
1:54Donna Donna Donna Donna
1:58Donna Donna Donna Do
2:13Calves are easily bound
2:16And slaughtered
2:18Never knowing the reason why
2:22But whoever treasures freedom
2:26Like a swallow has learned to fly
2:30How the winds are laughing
2:34They laugh with all there might
2:38Laugh and laugh
2:40The whole day through
2:42And half the summer's night
2:47Donna Donna Donna Donna
2:51Donna Donna Donna Do
2:55Donna Donna Donna Donna
2:59Donna Donna Donna Do
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 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 Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do
Stop complaning said the farmer
Who told you a calf to be
Why don't you have winging to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all there might
Laugh and laugh
The whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do
Donna Donna Donna Donna
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 there might
Laugh and laugh
The whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do
