作曲 : Sholom Secunda, Aaron Zeitlin

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' Donna' Donna'

Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.

Donna' Donna' Donna' Donna'

Donna' Donna' Donna' Don.

Stop complaining' said the farmer'

Who told you a calf to be?

Why don't you have wings to fly with

Like the swallows so proud 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' Don.

Calves are easily bound

And slaughtered'

Never knowing the reason why

But whoever treasures freedom

Like a swallow has learned to fly?

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' Don.
