Donna, Donna - Chad & Jeremy

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, 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 etc.

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, donna, donna etc.
