DONNA DONNA - Joan Baez

Donna donna -Joan Baez-


On a wagon bound for market there's calf with 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 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 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 donna donna donna donna donna don


Donna donna donna donna donna donna donna don


Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why


But whoever treasure 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 donna donna donna donna donna don


Donna donna donna donna donna donna donna don
