[00:09.67]On a wagon bound for market
[00:13.98]There's a calf with a mournful eye.
[00:19.15]High above him there's a swallow
[00:23.40]Winging swiftly through the sky.
[00:27.74]How the winds are laughing
[00:30.79]They laugh with all their might
[00:35.92]Laugh and laugh the whole day through
[00:39.72]And half the summer's night.
[00:43.87]Dona dona dona dona
[00:48.16]Dona dona dona dona
[00:52.22]Dona dona dona dona
[00:56.47]Dona dona dona don
[01:02.92]"Stop complaining," said the farmer
[01:07.39]"Who told you a calf to be;
[01:12.42]Why don't you have wings to fly away
[01:16.55]Like the swallow so proud and free?"
[01:21.09]How the winds are laughing
[01:24.67]They laugh with all their might
[01:29.28]Laugh and laugh the whole day through
[01:32.67]And half the summer's night.
[01:37.15]Dona dona dona dona
[01:41.31]Dona dona dona dona
[01:45.42]Dona dona dona dona
[01:48.68]Dona dona dona don
[02:00.56]Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
[02:04.81]Never knowing the reason why.
[02:09.60]But whoever treasures freedom,
[02:14.10]Like the swallow has learn to fly
[02:18.37]How the winds are laughing
[02:21.53]They laugh with all their might
[02:26.63]Laugh and laugh the whole day through
[02:29.82]And half the summer's night.
[02:34.44]Dona dona dona dona
[02:38.47]Dona dona dona dona
[02:42.64]Dona dona dona dona
[02:47.02]Dona dona dona don
