[00:13.100]On a wagon bound for market,
[00:17.100]there's a calf with a mournful eye.
[00:12.100]High above him there's a swallow,
[00:26.100]winging swiftly through the sky.
[00:30.100]How the winds are laughing;
[00:34.100]they laugh with all their might.
[00:37.100]Laugh and laugh, the whole day through,
[00:41.100]and half the summer's night.
[00:45.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'
[00:50.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.
[00:54.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'
[00:58.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.
[01:12.100]Stop complaining, said the farmer.
[01:17.100]Who told you a calf to be?
[01:21.100]Why don't you have wings to fly with,
[01:25.100]like the swallows so proud and free?
[01:29.100]How the winds are laughing;
[01:32.100]they laugh with all their might.
[01:37.100]Laugh and laugh, the whole day through,
[01:41.100]and half the summer's night.
[01:45.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'
[01:49.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.
[01:53.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'
[01:57.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.
[02:12.100]Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
[02:16.100]never knowing the reason why.
[02:20.100]But whoever treasures freedom,
[02:24.100]like a swallow, has learned to fly.
[02:28.100]How the winds are laughing;
[02:32.100]they laugh with all their might.
[02:36.100]Laugh and laugh, the whole day through,
[02:39.100]and half the summer's night.
[02:44.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'
[02:48.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.
[02:52.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'
[02:57.100]Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.
