Donna (Live) Lyrics

 

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

 

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

 

And half the summer's night

 

Donna Donna

 

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered

 

Never knowing the reason why

 

But whoever treasures freedom

 

Like the swallow has learned to fly

 

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
