Dona Dona Dona - Asha

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 laug

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 do

Dona dona dona dona

Dona dona dona do

"Stop complaining " said the farmer

"Who told you a calf to be

Why can't you have wings to fly with

Like the swallow 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

Dona dona dona dona

Dona dona dona do

Dona dona dona dona

Dona dona dona do

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered

Never knowing the reason why

But whoever treasures freedom

Like the 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

Dona dona dona dona

Dona dona dona do

Dona dona dona dona

Dona dona dona do
