G#mD#7G#mD#7
On a wagon, bound for market
G#mC#mED#7
thereʼs a calf with a mournful eye,
G#mD#7G#mD#7
high above him thereʼs a swallow
G#mC#mG#mD#7G#m
winging swiftly through the sky.
F#BG#m
How the winds are laughing,
C#mF#B
the laugh with all their might,
C#mF#BG#m
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
D#D#7G#m
and half the summerʼs night.
D#D#7G#m
Donna, donna, donna, donna
C#mF#B
donna, donna, donna, don,
D#D#7G#m
donna, donna, donna donna,
D#D#7G#m
donna, donna, donna, don.
G#mD#7G#mD#7
"Stop complaining!" said the farmer,
G#mC#mED#7
"Who told you a calf to be?
G#mD#7G#mD#7
Why donʼt you have, wings to fly
G#mC#mG#mD#7G#m
with like the swallow so proud and free?"
F#BG#m
How the winds are laughing,
C#mF#B
the laugh with all their might,
C#mF#BG#m
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
D#D#7G#m
and half the summerʼs night.
D#D#7G#m
Donna, donna, donna, donna
C#mF#B
donna, donna, donna, don,
D#D#7G#m
donna, donna, donna donna,
D#D#7G#m
donna, donna, donna, don.
G#mD#7G#mD#7
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
G#mC#mED#7
never knowing the reason why,
G#mD#7G#mD#7
but whoever treasures freedom
G#mC#mG#mD#7G#m
like the swallow has learned to fly.
F#BG#m
How the winds are laughing,
C#mF#B
the laugh with all their might,
C#mF#BG#m
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
D#D#7G#m
and half the summerʼs night.
D#D#7G#m
Donna, donna, donna, donna
C#mF#B
donna, donna, donna, don,
D#D#7G#m
donna, donna, donna donna,
D#D#7G#m
donna, donna, donna, don.
