Dona
How the winds are laughingThey 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 dona dona do-o-o
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona do
On a wagon bound for market
Lies a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
How the winds are laughing...
"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 pround and free?"
How the winds are laughing...
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow you learn to fly
How the winds are laughing...
When you're young and when you're restless
Like the swallow you learn to fly
But when you're old and when you're weary
Like a calf you must learn to die
How the winds are laughing...
