Lyrics
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 sommer'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 sommer's night
Donna donna donna donna
Donna donna donna don
Donna donna donna donna
Donna donna donna don
... are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learn to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the sommer's night
Donna donna donna donna
Donna donna donna don
Donna donna donna donna
Donna donna donna don
