Donna Donna Songtext
von Donovan

On a wagon bound for market
There′s a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Wingin′ swiftly through the sky

How the winds are laughin'
They laugh with all their might
Love 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 complainin′", said the farmer
"Who told you what had to be?
Why can′t you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow, so proud and free?"


How the winds are laughin'
They laugh with all their might
Love 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

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowin' the reason why
Why can′t you have wings to fly with?
Like the swallow, you've learned to fly

How the winds are laughin′
They laugh with all their might
Love 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
