Dona Dona - Live at the Royal Festival Hall
[Intro]
(Here's a song you probably all know
It was, most people sing it in go clubs and things
And if you want to sing along
It's called "Dona Dona")
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
[Post-Chorus]
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
[Verse 2]
"Stop complaining" said the farmer
"Who told you what calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly away
Like the swallow so proud and free?"
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
[Post-Chorus]
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
[Verse 3]
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
[Post-Chorus]
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
[Post-Chorus]
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Dona, Dona, Dona, Don
[Outro]
