Donna Donna-Joan Baez





On a wagon bound for market, 


There's a calf with a mournful eye


High above him There's a swallow, 


Winging swifty through the sky


How the winds are laughing 


They laugh with all their might 


Laugh 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 Donna (SOLO...) 





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 


They laugh with all their might 


Laugh 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 Donna ( Solo... )





Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,


Never knowing the reason why 


But whoever treasures freedom,


Like the swallow has learned to fly


How the wind are laughing 


They laugh with all their might


Laugh 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 Donna
