Dona Dona

On a wagon bound for market,
There's a calf with a 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.
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona down,
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona down.

"Stop complaining," said the farmer,
"Who told you a calf to be,
Why don't you have wings to fly away
Like the swallow so proud and free?"
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow must learn to fly.
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona down,
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona down.
