On a wagon bound
for market There's a 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 Dona Dona Dona Dona Dona Dona Dona Don Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Dona Dona Don
Stop complaining, said
the farmer Who told you a calf to be Why don't you have wings to fly
with Like the swallows so proud and
free
How the winds.... Dona Dona Dona
Don
Calves are easily bound and
slaughtered Never knowing the reason why But who ever treasures
freedom Like the swallow has leaned to
fly
How the winds... Dona Dona Dona
