On a waggon 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.

Chorus:
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 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 learned to fly.

*Chorus*
