Donovan Donna Donna Lyrics

Donna Donna Lyrics

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
Donna
donna…
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 proud
and free
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason
why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
