On a wagon bound for market |
|
There's a calf with the mournful eye |
|
High above him there's a swallow |
|
Winging swiftly 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, Donna |
|
|
|
Stop complaining said the farmer |
|
Who told you al calf to be? |
|
Why don't you have wings to fly with |
|
Like a Swallow proud and free |
|
|
|
|
Calves are easily bound and sloughtered, |
|
Never knowing the reason why |
|
Bot whoever treasures freedom |
|
Like the swallow has learned to fly |
|
|
