A#mF7A#mF7
On a wagon, bound for market
A#mD#mF#F7
thereʼs a calf with a mournful eye,
A#mF7A#mF7
high above him thereʼs a swallow
A#mD#mA#mF7A#m
winging swiftly through the sky.
G#C#A#m
How the winds are laughing,
D#mG#C#
the laugh with all their might,
D#mG#C#A#m
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
FF7A#m
and half the summerʼs night.
FF7A#m
Donna, donna, donna, donna
D#mG#C#
donna, donna, donna, don,
FF7A#m
donna, donna, donna donna,
FF7A#m
donna, donna, donna, don.
A#mF7A#mF7
"Stop complaining!" said the farmer,
A#mD#mF#F7
"Who told you a calf to be?
A#mF7A#mF7
Why donʼt you have, wings to fly
A#mD#mA#mF7A#m
with like the swallow so proud and free?"
G#C#A#m
How the winds are laughing,
D#mG#C#
the laugh with all their might,
D#mG#C#A#m
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
FF7A#m
and half the summerʼs night.
FF7A#m
Donna, donna, donna, donna
D#mG#C#
donna, donna, donna, don,
FF7A#m
donna, donna, donna donna,
FF7A#m
donna, donna, donna, don.
A#mF7A#mF7
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
A#mD#mF#F7
never knowing the reason why,
A#mF7A#mF7
but whoever treasures freedom
A#mD#mA#mF7A#m
like the swallow has learned to fly.
G#C#A#m
How the winds are laughing,
D#mG#C#
the laugh with all their might,
D#mG#C#A#m
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
FF7A#m
and half the summerʼs night.
FF7A#m
Donna, donna, donna, donna
D#mG#C#
donna, donna, donna, don,
FF7A#m
donna, donna, donna donna,
FF7A#m
donna, donna, donna, don.
