There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging softly through the sky
*How the winds are laughing (laughing)
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Dona dona doena doe-na
Dona dona doena doen
Dona dona doena doe-na
Dona dona doena doen*
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
*Chorus*
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has to learned to fly
*Chorus*
When you're young and when you're lively
Like the swallow you learn to fly
But when you grow old and weary
Like the calf you must learn to die.
*Chorus*
When you're young and when you're lively
Like the swallow you learn to fly
But when you grow old and weary
Like the calf you must learn to die.
*Chorus*
