Donna Donna

capo V.

1. On a wagon bound for market

there's a calf with a mournfull eye

high above him there's a swallow

winging swifly through the sky

How the winds are laughing,

they laugh with all their might(mind)

laugh and laugh the whole day through

and half the summers night

2. 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 ?

3. Calves are easily bound and slaughtered

never knowing the reason why

but who ever treasures freedom,

like the swallow had learned to fly
