Donna Donna

Lyrics

[Couplet 1] On a wagon bound and helpless Lies a calf who is doomed to die High above him, flies a swallow Soaring gaily through the sky [Refrain] Wind laughs in the cornfield Laughs with all his might Laughs and laughs the whole day through And half way through the night Donna, donna, donna, donna Donna, donna, donna, do Donna, donna, donna, donna Donna, donna, donna, do [Couplet 2] Now the calf is softly crying: "Tell me, wind, why do you laugh? Why can't I fly like the swallow Why did I have to be a calf?" [Refrain] Wind laughs in the cornfield Laughs with all his might Laughs and laughs the whole day through And half way through the night Donna, donna, donna, donna Donna, donna, donna, do Donna, donna, donna, donna Donna, donna, donna, do [Couplet 3] Calves are born and soon are slaughtered With no hope of being saved Only those with wings like swallows Will not ever be enslaved [Refrain] Wind laughs in the cornfield Laughs with all his might Laughs and laughs the whole day through And half way through the night Donna, donna, donna, donna Donna, donna, donna, do Donna, donna, donna, donna Donna, donna, donna, do
