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 summers 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 a swallow so proud and free?
|
|
* Repeat
|
|
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
|
Never knowing the reason why,
|
But whoever treasures freedom,
|
Like the swallow has learned to fly.
|
|
* Repeat
|
