Donna Dona

Donna Donna

oleh: Joan Baez

On a wagon 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 the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night

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

How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night

Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Don
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Don

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly

How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night

Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Don
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Don

Donna Donna

oleh: Joan Baez

Pada gerobak menuju pasar

Ada anak sapi dengan mata sedih

Tinggi di atasnya ada walet

Dengan kepakan sayap cepat melalui langit

Bagaimana angin tertawa

Mereka semua tertawa dengan kekuatan mereka

Tertawa dan tertawa sepanjang hari yang dilalui

Dan ditengah malam pada musim panas

Donna Donna Donna Donna

Donna Donna Donna Don

Donna Donna Donna Donna

Donna Donna Donna Don

"Berhenti mengeluh", kata petani

Siapa bilang anak sapi menjadi

Mengapa Anda tidak memiliki sayap untuk terbang dengan

Seperti burung layang-layang begitu bangga dan bebas

Bagaimana angin tertawa

Mereka tertawa dengan semua kekuatan mereka

Tertawa dan tertawa sepanjang hari yang dilalui

Dan di tengah malam pada musim panas

Donna Donna Donna Donna

Donna Donna Donna Don

Donna Donna Donna Donna

Donna Donna Donna Don

Betis mudah terikat dan dibantai

Tidak pernah mengetahui alasan mengapa

Tapi siapa pun harga kebebasan

Seperti burung layang-layang telah belajar untuk terbang

Bagaimana angin tertawa

Mereka tertawa dengan semua kekuatan mereka

Tertawa dan tertawa sepanjang hari yang dilalui

Dan di tengah malam pada musim panas

Donna Donna Donna Donna

Donna Donna Donna Don
