Dona dona

On a wagon bound for marketThere's a calf with a mournful eye.High above him there's a swallowWinging swiftly through the sky.

(refr.:)How the winds are laughingThey laugh with all their mightLaugh and laugh the whole day throughAnd half the summer's night.Dona, dona, dona...

"Stop complaining," said the farmer,"Who told you a calf to be?Why don't you have wings to fly withLike the swallow so proud and free?"

(refr.)

Calves are easily bound and slaughteredNever knowing the reason why.But whoever treasures freedom,Like the swallow has learned to fly.

(refr.)
